UPDATE:
According to James Edwards III, Wood’s deal with the Rockets is actually worth near $14 million per season. This makes much more sense.
Wood gets close to $14 million per year from Houston. Was told the Pistons didn't want to go that high for C-Wood. Detroit elected to go with Grant at a higher price instead.
