Even without a phone call, text or other insanity to document it, can't imagine a scenario where Wood or some other player spreads the word to somebody, anybody as in "Hey, Nico & Cuban said we're not competing this year. We just cant. "
Yeah, its probably something you can't really say.
I bet GMs say that all the time. Players are not stupid. I´d bet a lot of money, about 180M of it, that Presti said exactly that to SGA. Go through the process with us. I give you the full max, no questions asked and in 2-3 years we have a contender for the next decade. It´s a different approach to challenge Wood. Butter him up by praising his offense, give him job security with extension/future talk, but demand defensive commitment and leadership under similar circumstances to Houston with Green/KPJ. Has he changed? That´s a better way to find out.
