Interesting Hood stat

When Gobert is back, I think Rodney should get most of the PNR responsibilities honestly. Even more than Mitch and Rubio. I think he has the right tempo, kind of like Ingles, to open up some space for Gobert.

Plus, Hayward and Jingles proved that the offense runs just fine when the wings initiate. Still need the ball movement and finding open shots, but our wings can shoulder a little more of the load.

Hood's destiny is to take Jamal Crawford's throne of being the best scoring 6th man in the NBA.

I think the Jazz basically have to bite the bullet and match w/e offer he gets. The scoring/shooting Hood provides is too valuable to let him go. I wish he would use his skills to set others up more, but the guy has the Mamba Mentality of when he is hot he sees this

Paying him makes me nervous. If he stays relatively healthy I think he gets a big offer. He's not the type that I think will go out and look for the absolute maximum offer, so he might negotiate with us and if we give him something fair he sticks around. I think he is comfortable here.

A 4/80 deal is good if he's healthy. He may get more than that... if he's not consistently healthy I think 4/60, 4/80, 4/100... they all suck... kind of an all or nothing deal.

The lift he gets on his jumper is part of the problem for me. It's great, but leaves him exposed to guys getting underneath him (he doesn't get enough calls). Also, if he is nicked up I feel like the lack of lift makes him miss.
 
The only player shooting better than Rod with as many per game attempts at the "above the break 3" is Klay.

I think we need to get out of the Ricky Rubio business for many of the reasons outlined in the thread. We don't need a traditional pg in this system and he's just not going to fit... his flaws outweigh his pluses. Sucks to kind of sell low on a guy, but I also don't want to keep wasting time trying to make something work that just isn't there.
 
I've paid very close attention to Hood's shot this year. I've notice when he gathers himself and does not rush his release, his accuracy is amazing. You can almost tell when a shot will go in just based on how he takes the shot. When he rushes his release, he misses a lot of shots. He is tall/long enough and gets high enough that he won't get blocked often, so the need to rush does not exist for the most part.

I agree. Hood is far surperior when he has time to control the release. When he is pinching them off quickly or they just explode towards the rim, things get messy.
 
Talk to me about Hood when he makes it through the season without another ankle/hamstring/knee/foot/back/calf injury and he's not ******** his pants.

He is probably getting the max from Sacramento.

They would need to clear about 14M in space to do that and they have Hield and Bojan at the 2 who they like quite a bit.

So they need to offload Koufos and Temple to make that deal (Temple may not opt in... it will be close, but he seems to like it there). They'd need to take back no players in that deal... they have a roster crunch.

They have done dumber things for sure but I don't think Joerger has much pull and I don't see them clearing space and giving up young players or picks to do so just to make an offer on a RFA... which could just get matched.

I think they are 70 million next year going to RFA. Hood's max is only 25 million.

NVM, I see now that Koufus and temple are player ,not team options.
 
The teams I most worry about a huge offer for Hood are Dallas, Philly, Atlanta, and Indiana (if Thad Young opts out).

I assumed both would opt in (temple may not). I also added in around 5M for their first round pick.

They can easily get there though, but would have to offload something of value and are already down a 2019 pick.

If he gets maxed I'm out btw.

Out of those I'd think Atlanta may be the only one I'd be worried about. Indiana especially is going through an Oladipo explosion and will mostly likely want to round out the roster at other positions.

One of Dallas or Atlanta should end up with Doncic - making Rodney somewhat redundant. I’m not sure that his market will be more than KCP or Danilo Gallinari. Maybe, but I have a feeling his injury history and tighter cap space will depress his market.

Hood would be great to partner with Doncic, so I'm not sure that is going to rule anyone out.

I would think teams would be more prudent, but teams seem to look past injury issues when they are in FA sometimes. Philly likely goes after Avery Bradley first, but then I think KCP and Hood would be the next target. This of course assumes that they don't get one of the pipe dream guys like lebron or paul george.

I don't know what FA will be interested in Dallas' money and one of those teams likely serves as a salary dumping grounds... and then another team may have space.

I do not think he gets maxed. If I had to guess I think 4/80 is the offer he gets. If he gets something less than that I think it is a good deal... if he stays healthy... if not then any deal he gets is bad. The key with any deal is that he needs to still be tradeable. If he becomes parsons or Gallo it will really hinder us.
 
Lack of seeming consistency is due to his lack of getting to the line. Harden had 21 or something like that on 17 shots and 10 of his points came from the line. Was like 5/16. If Hood goes 5/16, he's got 14 points 'cause he just doesn't get to the line to make up for a bad shooting night.
