That’s debatable from a positional perspective, but not from a financial one. Wood wasn’t gonna take less money to stay. You can agree or disagree with the choice of Grant over Wood ( and you know how I feel about giving Grant 60 mill), but let’s not misframe the discussion.
Maybe I’m missing something, I see nothing in the OP that confirms it’s true Wood didn’t want to leave. Very disappointing if true.
The guy asked Christian if he wanted to leave and Christian responded “NOT TRUE” in all caps.
Just to play devil’s advocate, wouldn’t he say that regardless?
He’s not gonna say “oh yeah, I was ready to GTFO of the place that gave me my break”. No player wants to be demonized by fans.
I’ve been pretty demoralized by Weaver’s cap management but I’m not sure I’m convinced by this.
At this point what does he have to gain by saying he didn't want to leave? If anything it would show Houston that he wasn't all in on wanting to be a Rocket.
If this is all legit, I'm sure that is the reason why he decided to delete the comment.
