We do know the Mavs had at least a little interest, because someone from there was mentioning him consistently to Fish.
We also know that the contract left room for a bigger offer, and that Delon Wright ended up in Detroit.
Ultimately, we don’t know whether a bigger offer from Dallas would’ve made a difference, or if Wood simply wanted to play in Houston, for some reason. I have a tough time imagining Houston was his first choice, given what has been going on with that team since the bubble, but it’s possible.
