I want to move up pretty bad, but I don't think giving up Hood is the answer. I'd rather trade that OKC pick or a bunch of 2nd rounders. We have a ton of those. Maybe even that GS with some protection.

We can try it, but we'd be probably need to bribe the other team to let us take one of the top wings in this draft by giving them Hood instead and letting them take a quality big, assuming that's a pressing need for the other team. Sacramento might be the right scenario to pull this off. They need outside shooting, since McLemore and Stauskas haven't panned out, and they need a PF to put next to Cousins, replacing Jason Thompson and Carl Landry.
I doubt the OKC pick or a Jazz future pick is going to get us Hezonja.
Yup, so that should keep the pressures on the other teams trailing them as well to lift their game.
At this point I do not want to trade Hood, Exum, Gobert, Hayward, Favors or Burks unless it helps lands us a proven player. They are all going to be very good.
I'd rather the Jazz use their plethora of picks, foreign player rights and tradable pieces (Cotton, Cooley...) and Burke if needed to land a high draft pick if that is the Jazz's goal.
Or Jazz just get lucky and win the lottery. Then use those pieces to upgrade the bench.

I'm not going to root for Jazz losses, but they won't bother me the rest of the season provided there are at least some positives from the games.

We may or may not be able to move up. Sacramento, Denver, and Detroit would likely be willing to talk. Our pick next year and our current pick would likely work. May have to add sweet dr like taking on a kind of bad contract or one of our euro dudes. If we landed 10th we may not need to worry about moving up as one of the wings or Frank will likely be there. Would be great to get the guy we want and preserve our draft assets for later.
I wonder if there's any chance of Hayward/Favors sitting out any games to give more playing time for Hood/Cooley/others.

Locke indicated that there was a chance of this.
At this point I want Hood, Gobert and Exum playing as much as possible. I hope all three are on the summer league team along witt our draft picks this year.

I wouldn't say we want to over play them though. We don't want to risk injury. But I would like to see Gobert and Exum practice some things on the offensive end. Rudy needs to try some in game shots, and Exum needs to take it to the hoop.
I say play all 3 34 mpg
I wouldn't do it, though it's tempting since I like both players. But Hood has already shown me that he can be a very solid scorer in this league.
Anyone else still thinks Tanking doesn't exist in the NBA?
Too obvious.

Stauskas should be playing if they are tanking.
Summer League it is then. Give Rudy and Dante 20 minutes each and call it a scrimmage. Let Millsap work on his 3-pt shooting.
The Kings have 2 games left vs. the Lakers as well as a game against the Nuggets whom they're tank racing with. Will be interesting.

Cooley in with 7 min. left in the 1st quarter.
You can't tell me we're trying to win AT ALL COST neither. Everyone's playing the game. Jazz no longer player checkers while other teams are playing chess. (right, Freak?)

Boston and Indiana won tonight. Not that I want us to lose....but if we do, we can move to Nro. 10 in the lottery
