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

I am very interested in Mirotic, Parker, Oubre (wanted him over Lyles and still think he has great potential as a 2 way player), Unprotected Lottery picks and hope to get lucky, some interest in Kemba, and probably other players.

I have little to no interest in trading for late 1st round picks. Those are worth very little. I am also not interested in older players, unless its a good fit and they are really good, but even then nobody over 29.
 
The worst thing about Hood is that he isnt positionaly versatile on defense. He is too weak/not physical to guard bigger wings and he has mental lapses/isnt quick enough to get into 2's. Offensively I think he still has a lot of room to grow and is a starter, but I'm guessing the Jazz just arent impressed w/ his defensive effort and commitment.

Really? Interesting. Who do you think is most likely to be traded of hood, burks, or favors?

I think Hood and Favors are both 100% going to be traded and likely in the same deal.

Who knows on Burks. I'm sure they are trying to an extent, but it's probably not a priority.
 
Hood doesnt bring enough anything else to be worth the money he seeks. Good shooter that has his moments, and pretty good clutch player....the end. Insignificant in the win/loss column, Jazz won't even miss him.

Yeah good shooters who play well in the PNR are just complete non-factors....

I mean, yes, Hood has his flaws, but to say he is insignificant in win/losses? What?

If Burks doesnt get moved, Hood is gone and we have no need to win. We should play Burks 30mins a game for the rest of the season, let him finally get some consistent minutes, see what he can do, then move him in the offseason.

I agree both of those guys get traded. I also am almost positive JJ gets traded or at least waived I guess. I think they will try to trade Burks but they can wait until the off season.
 
Cy, I'm only an expert on my opinion. Hood can't/doesn't pass so while I can't deny that he can be part of a successful Pnr it isn't as one of the two main moving parts. I believe we will get someone better for the team when offensive and defensive value are considered (over Hood), simply because Hood occasionally is a sweet shootin lefty. Hood at $20m per will kill the team who pays it.
