What would you be happy to give Hood right now ... given the range of possibilities for his performance this year ?? If he wanted to take something like 15 per i'd be pretty happy with that ??
 
Somewhere in between 4/60 and 4/80 would be the range. I think 4/70 would get it done.

Good deal? Honestly I just think it depends on if he was healthy long-term. I don't think there is a lot of middle ground on it... I think either it will be a home run for us or a regrettable contract.

I think we should make a good effort... but if he goes Nerlens on us then just pass.
 
If he would take 15 per, take it and run.

I think the players understand that values have come back down to earth. The whole Nerlens deal has been a great help to teams like Utah with multiple players who are up for a new contract.

You would think, but players are unreasonable... this is not a new occurrence. I think he could point to Tim Hardaway, Allen Crabbe, etc. and say I'm better than those guys... and if he has a great healthy year he could go 25+ per year. I think it will be 4/75-85 on second thought, which might be too rich for the organization given last year's production.

agree .. like so many scenarios this year there's just such a gulf between the best and worst scenario

If he has a great healthy year, obviously all bets are off. I'd go so far as to say he'd be dumb not to test the market in that scenario. However, I'm looking at this as Utah extending him early in the season. His previous health is definitely a big factor here. If Utah is going to wait and see what kind of year he has, then this thread is kind of pointless, as the results will determine which direction Hood/the FO decides to go.

Hardaway is really the only applicable example here, though. Crabbe was signed 2 seasons ago before the salary cap came up significantly short, and was traded away as a bad contract.

Also, even if you ignore the Nerlens situation due to playing a different position, Hood saw what happened to George Hill, who declined a huge offer and then ended up playing for a ****ty team for less money. You have to believe his agent wants to avoid being in that situation just as much as he wants to try and max his value.

but is he willing to risk having another injury riddled year like last year and potentially having his value plummett ??
