He looked really physically outmatched. The ABA isn't one of the top Euro leagues but I guess they all play in Euro Ball (although I don't think his team is qualified this year). Like I said he did not look like an NBA level athlete or player in summer league, but things can change. I wouldn't...

I don't feel that I have enough real info to make a good guess. It could be anywhere from QO to 4/48 for me depending on what they really think about him. They have the best info on him of anyone, but even then the injuries and lack of a big role probably make it harder to project. As a fan I...

He was so outmatched in summer league. Couldn't get a clean shot off against that level of competition. I wouldn't mind him back in camp again to see if he figured things out after a year. Apparently he is playing pretty well in Europe. I would much rather take a chance on a developmental 3rd PG...

This is a good point, however. This was Rodney's best season and you can hope/expect him to get better in a lead role as he matures. How much better he can get is the question. His game relies quite a bit on covered 2 point shots. Will he ever get more FT's and 3's to bump up his efficiency? Maybe.

I think this is technically below average (barely) efficiency. I read somewhere that it .560 is closer to average. That could be incorrect. 55% is average efficiency. Taking harder shots doesn't make it more efficient it just makes the shots he can/does take less efficient shots than some...

He's a headcase, he's bad with bad basketball IQ and instincts. He wouldn't play over Ricky, Neto or Exum when he gets back. I don't think he's the kind of guy we want hanging out with any of our young players.

I think mostly this depends on how good the team is next year. I don't think they'll go after a big star this year, but if they have a top 4 team in the west and Donovan is a hot new star to go along with DPOY candidate Gobert I could definitely see a star being interested in teaming up at that...

I mean, a "real" chance is anything above 0% so he's not wrong.

I've been on team trade Favs for a while now. But if the JAzz can actually somehow re-sign him to a good deal (it would have to be pretty great, imo) then maybe it's worth seeing how they all play together down the stretch. Locke reporting that there's a chance they re-sign him. I'm still pretty...

Really weird not to see any Jazz players wish Rodney well on this one. I've seen guys welcome Jae but nothing on the Hood front. Lots of whispers about Locker room issues as well with him. Jazz do a decent job of keeping these kinds of stories in the Locker room I think.

Glad I didn't do that Hood research. Whew. I really hope there's a pick swap in this somewhere. Jae is a decent get, but you would think a first for Hood would be a better deal.

Hm... I'm, going to have to go on a deeper dive on this later on. I don't have a ton of time right now and I don't want to do it if Rodney gets moved since I won't care at that point. I don't want to comment more until I look at a couple more things.

Your argument has some logic behind it I think. Hood is slightly better in PnR and off the dribble this year. Fournier is a better spot up shooter, and has a higher assist %. I think Fournier plays to his strengths more than Rodney does, and his strengths would fit really well in this system...

No worries. I thought you didn't agree so was just re framing my argument. I think the other guy disagreeing with it had me in the mood to think the worst haha.

Go on then. Tell me about it. Make sure it's not just you trying to argue something that you already believe instead of looking at it objectively, though.

You've argued incorrectly then. Fournier has a higher TS% (considerably higher), better BPM, WS (on a worse team which is pretty amazing), and VORP. He's just better. He has better offensive and defensive numbers on a team without Rudy Gobert to help those numbers. He fits better in the system...

The thing that gives me pause on trading Rodney is the deal Lou got. If the market is that cool on wing players there's a chance Hood can't get a very nice deal in FA. Hood on a bargain deal is a nice proposition. Glad I don't have to forecast the market there.

I'm surprised people think this is a shocking take. Why do you guys think Favs is on the market to begin with? He thinks he's a starter and he's too expensive at a position the Jazz already have covered.

The stats say Fournier is a better player right now. They are the same age. Fournier definitely has a worse cast around him. It won't hurt my feelings if you can argue your point logically, bruh. You think I'm wrong then prove it with your words and ideas.

Evan is a better player in a worse situation. How much better is up for debate, but saying hood is better is just ignoring reality. Hood might (not a given either) have a higher ceiling, but he also has a higher chance of injury/DNP or injury/ineffective. Your points are all also valid. I'm more...
