There is a growing belief in league personnel circles that Utah could move swingman Rodney Hood befo

Fultz is going to go down in history as one of the worst #1 picks ever. And Philly traded up for him! Philly could have had ANYONE else in a deep, deep draft and they missed horribly. That's the kind of move that costs GM's their job.

Well dont ever mention how good our development and coaching is. Opportunity to get the #1 pick for 20c on the dollar and trust our staff to get his shot back.

I think Philly would like to move on and save face if possible. Hood and 2019 first or a few 2nds.

OMG. Hood and a #1? Our development staff couldn't do anything with players like Burke and Lyles. They haven't made any strides with Rubio. They aren't magicians, despite what DL wants us all to believe. While I agree some franchises have terrible track records of developing players, I don't think that can be said of Brown in Philly (Simmons and Embiid have developed, just like we can cite Gobert and Mitchell). His recent quote was they couldn't even begin to address Fultz' shooting (and he had never seen anything like it) until they work on other aspects of his game. His shot was never "there" to begin with as a pro, so it's not a question of just getting it back.

We already have a primary ball handler; his name is Donovan Mitchell. What we need to pair with him is a 3&D player. That's not Rubio and it certainly wouldn't be Fultz.
 
Hood and Rubio (or any given expiring like Favors) for Hill and their first.

Maybe Joerger and that franchise might actually do that?

(I know)
 
It's not very surprising. It's been clear since early in the season that paying Hood and/or Favors this offseason would be a mistake and that the Jazz would be better off acquiring some kind assets for them instead of letting them walk in free agency. It's become even more clear as the season has progressed. Both of them seem to be great guys and it sucks things didn't work out. But that's the NBA sometimes.
 
I like the trade for porter. I think the wizard's can re-sign hood for a lot less than porter.

Not to mention his cap hold is like 7 mil and they could stretch manhimi and have some money to go after a free agent.

If the jazz could get mirotic and porter they would have some amazing 3 pt shooting to surround Mitchell and gobert.

Only place lacking would be the 2. Ingles played some there last year but I would prefer a guard in the draft

Was his shot broken in college? (i dont follow college bball much and have no idea what kind of player fultz was)
If so, why would he go #1? And iirc he was the consensus #1 pick.

His shot was good. Dude was fantastic... seemingly got wherever he wanted and did so smoothly.

It’s a mental thing, which means he could get through it and be fine or never figure it out. Whoever Drummond worked with needs to be talking to Fultz.

Yeah, no way we can get him with Hood. He's certainly not a sure thing and I was never sold on him as a consensus #1, but he's clearly still a very high upside player.

If we could we should have done it yesterday.
 
How sad Rodney "glass bones" Hood's days in Utah seem numbered. I know he would be loyal to us but his inconsistencies and injuries would cost this franchise too much if they kept him vs getting some value for him via a trade
