Scoring 30 points in 1st half and then scoring 0 for the 2nd half is the definition of streaky and inconsistent. Hood is good for a bench scorer on a good team, that's what he is. If Hood is your 2nd or 3rd scorer, your team isn't going anywhere. Unfortunately he will be commanding 15-20 million...

Whoever said that Hood is role is supposed to be what Korver/Reddick is doing... well, both of those guys are "smarter" defenders and actually play their hearts out on defense, despite their physical limitation. Oh, and they happen to be two of the best shooters in the NBA, that's why they play...

I actually came here to say Hood is terrible and found there is already a thread! For a guy who is known for his shooting, he shoots 41% FG for his career, 40.8% so far this year. The issue that bothers me the most is that he always has his mind made up already when he catches the ball, it's...

I never comment but this forum is getting ridiculous. You know what are horrible contracts? Deng and Mozgov's contracts. Signing a major piece of your team for maybe $2 extra millions is not a BAD contract. As a comparison, Tony Snell got 4 year $46 million ($10.5 m/year). Patty Mills got 4...

Max Hayward, let George Hill go. George Hill is 31. Even Iron man LeBron said he's declining at age 31. A lot of former all-stars don't last that long. Look at two big name free agents who recently signed Max contracts after age 31: 1) Aldridge - declining since last year, even more so this...

Westbrook is a once-in-a-generation player, i'll trade my whole team + 1st round for next 3 years for him. And you know he's never going to take a night off and always ready to compete. He's producing stats that are comparable to Magic Johnson and other Hall of Famers, let that sink in a bit...

I'm very surprised we actually got a 2nd round for him. You can pretty much plug in any of those D-League PGs - Briante Weber, Tim Frazier, Xavier Munford, Phil Pressey... etc, and have the exact same stats as Trey

Mack is actually a decent player - for a 2nd string. Atlanta was very deep at PG - Teague and Schröder are both top 20 NBA PGs, but on the same team. On a sidenote, we totally should've taken Schröder over Burke 3 years ago - he was actually projected to go to Jazz in many sites. Mack is...

HE should be picked late 1st round to early 2nd round. His draft stock is likely the same whether if he comes out this year or 2 years later, since his play style doesn't depend on athleticism. I'd take Spencer Dinwiddie over Adams though, that guy is going to be a steal - if he doesn't get hurt...

Kyle Anderson is definitely a better pro than Adams, the guy is a winner (his HS team went 99-0). He is indeed very very slow, so UCLA played almost exclusively zone when he's on the court. He will never be a good defender, but will be an adequate one because of his long wingspan, which also...

LaVine most likely won't mature in time to make solid contribution to the team that drafts him. He is very much like Gerald Green 2.0 (who switched 7 NBA teams + a few D League teams + foreign teams). UCLA fans knew about LaVine's potential even when he was still a 3 star recruit in high school...

Long time Jazz and UCLA fan here... Adams is probably the most unathletic player in the draft, which is why he was projected to be a late 1st round / early 2nd round pick NEXT YEAR. Adams was originally going to come back to UCLA for his junior year (he actually said after the tourney that he...

I'm starting to think that Harden is the solution... good 3 point shooter, can iso or play pick-n-roll with favors, and draws a ton of fouls when we struggle to score. now only if OKC doesn't know that he can do all that.

I think you're right that Al's trade value is probably at the highest right now; however, i can't see anyone trading an elite wing for Jefferson (who has a big contract). But hey, you never know... there are a lot of dumb GMs in NBA.

I was actually referring to back in the Boozer days as well - that's why i said 'has always struggled', also having someone that can draw fouls like Ginobili doesn't help either.
