I know that Wood's "eligible to be traded in aggregation" date was mentioned pointedly by Skin in early July as if, and then picked up by some here as gospel and something we should expect (see the thread title about the Mavs gearing up for a big trade for a wing, that still exists to trumpet that as a real idea).
At the time, I thought it was one of the more inane mentions I had heard about what the Mavs plans were.
To your question, I still feel the same now as I did then. IMO All they are saying and doing shouts loudly that they have no plans, other than to go with a 13-man-plus-a-cheerleader short staff, and save some money. (Being sold as "flexibility" for the mythical trade that is not anywhere in sight.) And this is an old Mavs ploy, to drop hints that they aren't done when they are, when the summer has sucked, and try to keep the fanbase intrigued over "what's next."
