THE CRUCIFIX: Cato: Wood isn't thrilled w/ his role...Will depart in the summer

[ItsGoTime]

I would argue that the statement "trying not to sign him" is very different than saying we had over 30 mil in cap space and wanted to go big game hunting first.  You are couching it like we never wanted him and have been trying desperately to get rid of him.  I don't think the evidence supports that.  

He was in trade rumors last TDL after he was already out for the season.  They were looking to upgrade playoff depth and considering we basically ran a 6 man rotation that makes sense.  They didn't get what they considered value and didn't make the trade.

He was in trade rumors this TDL as well.  So were Wood and Dorian (who actually got traded).  That does not mean nobody wants him.  That means the Mavs were willing to trade him if it improved the team.  They did not get an offer they liked and he stayed on the team.

You are right that nobody knows exactly why he is still on the team, but you seemed to be arguing that because he was in trade rumors for two years he has no value on the court.

If he is anything but option A, they very well are “trying not to sign him”, why do I have to explain that? We did sign him and ever since have been trying to find a team that likes him as much as we do. We haven’t found 1. Why is it then a sin to say nobody values him the way we do in an argument against a point made that said the Mavs value him more than the fans do. I made the statement to combat that point.
