There's no justifiable reason for signing him to an extension that early when the trade off was as potentially disastrous as it ultimately turned out to be.

Unless I'm mistaken, Wilson could veto any trade. I think the only reason he agreed to be traded to Denver was a promise of a large contract before any playing actually took place.
