Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

[Jazz4ever]

Just now learned this and only read one page of the thread. But doesn't this make resigning Favors more likely now because it gives the Jazz more financial flexibility?

You could argue it either way. Crowder plays PF, that's Favors position. Ingles can play some PF as well. If they want to go after a max free agent in 2019, paying Favors would get in the way of that.

He took kind of a lot of shots to get those points (he wasn’t all that efficient)

So in answer to your question, simply have other players take the shots hood was taking. Could work out even better if more efficient players are now taking the field goal attempts that hood was previously.

55% TS on 14 shots a game isn't efficient? Not sure I can agree on that.

Jazz are 10-5 without Rodney, and 9/10 of those wins were against above .500 teams.

Its mediocre. About the same as crowder who is having a poor shooting season according to many.

This says a lot. The jazz simply don't need Hood. If anything they are better without him. They weren't going to match and this way they get a useful piece at a good price for a guy they didn't really want or need anyway.

That's where the context of role and difficulty of shot come in. We saw this the first year Hayward had an increased role as well.

Lol. Lebron over there all by himself.

Hood was having a career season shooting the ball.

85th in the league. Above average. But nothing special.

 

[yamers]

unfortunately we are going to lose some offensive power but we should make up for that on defense.

What was his TS last year when he had a secondary role?

 

[fishonjazz]

I think they're playing that risk that Hood does get a contract like that. It'll suck if he gets like a $12 per though.

Unless crowder plays better for the jazz than hood did.
Then it wouldn't suck.

Hint: It was 52.

So basically, like was said, his shooting isn't all that efficient but he does have excuses as to why I guess. Of course no one said he didn't.

Agree on what? I didn't say it was horrible. Just that's is not all that efficient. We have other players who are more efficient that can take some of his shots.

I thought Cleveland was headed south after that first trade but, strangely, at the end of the day, anyone else think this actually increases the chances LeBron stays or opts in to his final year?

Not all shots are created equally.

I mean, not necessarily. Hood at 17 ppg at his age and on a value deal would be a bigger asset. Jazz are betting that Hood gets overpaid relative to their situation and plan.

 

[fishonjazz]

Hood wasn't some super efficient offensive juggernaut or something.
We will be fine without him.
I'n fact we already have seen what we look like without him this year and it looked pretty good. 10-5
