Where Does Hood End Up?

[infection]

Yeah, but he is a RFA free agent. He is someone you cant just lose for nothing. You can do that w/ Favors. If the Jazz arent 100% committed to Hood, you have to trade him, and it seems like that is the case.

We shall see... I think Hood holds enough value to us that we won’t like the packages we get back, regardless of whether we match him this summer or not.

Pretty much every Jazz writer thinks it's a pretty strong likelihood Hood is traded.

I don’t doubt that’s what they think, and perhaps have gotten the impression that the Jazz are ready to move on, but that impression is only one side of the coin. A deal out there that they feel they get value with is the other, and I’m not seeing it, regardless of what the reporters think. They didn’t trade him for Mirotic, so that shows you what they’re looking at on a return. I know, I know, the reporters have said “there’s league wide interest.”

Hood for Juancho Hernangómez... Who says no?

Oh man that made me scrunch my face... seems pretty fair. Denver can’t re-sign Hood though... they need to move off of salary. I guess if it was a rental for them the cost isn’t a good deal.

Anytime you can trade with Denver you just do it if you are DL... good things will happen.

Faried+Juancho+1st protected for Hood+Favors... they clear Faried for next year so they can sign Hood....

They still won’t. They are declining jokics option to give him a max and keep him out of UFA next year. Will cause all sorts of issues salary wise. They need to clear Faried just to do that and avoid LT hell next year.

They still might do it... they re-signed plumlee knowing this was coming. They are so dumb sometimes.

I really like that one though... I think they might do it... they do stupid stuff all the time... the plumlee nurkic trade was flat awful... then they compound it by re-signing him to a huge contract.

This is low key dumb for Denver so I think they would absolutely do it.

I think Handlogten's Heros may have nailed it in the trade discussion thread last night. 76ers seem like a good fit. And they have assets to offer.

They are also a big market team with a lot of options.

Hood doesn’t change any of their options though. His cap hold is lower than the Bayless salary and they could add a marquee free agent and re-sign him.

But why are you giving up a first to get him when you have top pick of every UFA on the market?

They will probably just give up two 2nd rounders to get Tyreke Evans, who is better than Hood, then play the free agency game w/ the stars.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The team who is really going to want Hood is the team who cant attract big time free agents so they need that RFA tag.

Detroit makes the most sense, but they have their own cap issues.

They don’t have their top pick... one of those FA has to pick them. Having Hood RFA rights is valuable. Sure they could pass on the trade possibly not make the playoffs and offer Hood in the summer but unless they get stupid we would match.

Once LBJ and PG pass up on philly what other top tier UFA they getting. They will be in the mix for KCP and Bradley no doubt but those guys may say no.

They have max space and Ben Simmons/Joel Embiid and are in a large TV market. They will have a large selection.

They have an offer that is about as good as what anyone else is going to offer, a young rookie contract who is talented but under-performing and a 2nd round throw in. No one is giving up a rookie contract playing beyond expectations for Hood.

I honestly think the only first rounder on the market for Hood is Cleveland's, but they are trying to do so many other things first.

If Stanley had one more year on his deal I’d be okay with that or if they put in Kennard... though I’m not a huge fan.

I'm not a huge Stanley fan either, but he is a guy who can play some 4 and he has talent. They arent going to throw in Kennard, thats just a ridiculous ask. Maybe they get desperate enough to do Kennard for Hood w/ no Johnson, but I even doubt that.

Hood isnt netting us some massive haul. It's going to be something very on the margins unless it's some blockbuster salary dump by the other team ala Clips/Detroit trade.

I meant they send Kennard we send Hood... not Kennard and Johnson.

I remember talking Stanley with you a while ago and you said he is already playing some 4 because he plays with a combo 4... something like that. I do generally believe that guys that are playing the 3 that should be playing the 4 can be utilized differently and it changes their outlook completely... I think his shooting is so bad that it won't move the needle.

I'd rather combine Hood with some cap relief for a first... that is a pretty reasonable ask in my mind. If not I'd just keep him.
