Mavs can’t offer more in 2 years right now. That is the max deal it’s not a lowball. Of course I don’t expect him to sign the extension, so now Mavs have to weigh trading him or hoping he stays with Mavs when we can offer more in free agency.

If Wood continues to play as well as he’s been playing on both ends of the court, a team will take a chance and offer him $25 million/year this summer. Not offering the max 4/77 as soon as possible is front office malpractice. He’s worth that and would be tradable if we needed to free that cap space in 2 years

He’ll turn it down, Mavs will let him walk for nothing, we’ll strike out on a big free agent, and then we’ll over pay some B tier player.
I’ve seen this movie before.

The only reason he would take it is a cap spike.

Mavs about to fumble the ball AGAIN.

All of you who are saying a) two years is too short and b) $18 mil is too low. How do you suppose that the Mavs fix that right now? If $18 mil is too low for 2 years, why would Wood accept a similar salary for 4 years?

why not offer 4 years 77 mil? waiting for that 2025 cap space? how can the mavs management be this insane (insanity is repeating dumb things over and over again)

According to Tim Cato, a lot of people around the NBA still have a generally negative/skeptical opinion of Wood. I don’t know that he would get a huge contract by waiting for free agency because of that. However, if he can prove himself by producing consistently for 2 additional seasons, I think he could earn a pretty sizeable contract at the end of those 2 years. If Wood agrees to this, that’s probably why.

This could end up being a win-win scenario. If he takes this deal and becomes an all-star in the next 2 years he can look for way more in his next contract. Playing with Luka will help, Cp3 inflated a lot of guys value into big contracts.

Luka will have to average 60 if Wood goes elsewhere.

We know. He’s gonna earn way more though

For fucks sake, just pay him what he wants.
I hate this cheap ass ownership

Why not try to secure him for 4 years? I really don’t get this

The amount of people think Wood would prefer 4yr 77M instead are scarily high..

2 years is not the worst thing in the world for Cwood for several reasons
1. he’s been on so many teams during his career. I’m sure some stability would be very appealing, especially right now when he’s healthy 2. he can get an even bigger payday once the salary cap is projected to massively increase in a few years 3. Gives him flexibility to get out of Dallas if he ends up hating it here
my guess is that his agent pushes for a 3rd year player option but the per year stays the same

Christian Wood: “I’m not interested in that”
But does wood want to take that?
That’s always been the question as the Mavs can’t offer more than 18/y until the season is over.
I hope he does take it, but he may want to gamble and bet on getting more in the off-season
