As in, what if they wanted to acquire a guy who'd come off the books at the end of this year and just picked the one they thought would be the most help, temporarily, from among the options their package could get them? What if they never intended to extend or re-sign him under any circumstances?
I believe what we are hearing out of the Mavs camp via ppl like Cato which is they saw Wood as an "experiment." Cap clearing was for sure one of the reasons why they did the trade, along with clearing roster spots. I think they for sure valued him as a pretty good rotation player that had upside but he for sure wasn't a guy they were definitely interested in resigning.
