If the only offers Wood will get is at the vet min, shouldn’t Chicago offer vet min plus a couple hundred thousand?
I mean, it depends. Do they want Wood? Do you think a couple hundred thousand would make YOU choose Chicago over LA or MIA? I am 1000% sure it would not have that effect on me.
This question misses the point of my post so entirely I feel like you're trolling me. The dollar amount wasn't important, really. Just insert whatever number you believe Chicago would offer that might be viewed by Wood as an attractive alternative to playing with LeBron or Jimmy Butler in one of the two most sought after lifestyle cites in the US, both with far superior teams to boot.
The question I find interesting is: if he followed the money rather than the quality of opportunity at this stage, what would that tell us about his understanding of why things haven't worked out for him to this point?
It's all hypothetical, obviously. I literally couldn't care less what happens to him.
