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

[LukaMVP]

if wood is to learn anything from noel's case, the first thing is that he should stay with us this summer, even for less pay. his market ain't that good as he and his agent think. the best scenario I can imagine on his behalf is that he plays on a rebuilding team, being a core piece in offense while padding stats for fun (similar to what he did in houston). such teams wouldn't mind paying him possibly, but they would rather reserve playing time to develop young players. meanwhile, no contender would give him a role bigger than a rotational player, maybe the 7-8th man at best. the few teams that might have some interest in him wouldn't have the space to offer him anything close to a max that he wants.

if there is a second thing to be learned, it's that players may get screwed by their agents once in a while.
