that article says Hood's contract has a team option so if picked up he's a restricted free agent next year .. that's not right ??
These are Rockets fans we’re talking about.

Are you talking about this?: "Hood is still currently on his rookie deal playing off the extensions of that contract. He will earn $2.4 million this season and has a $3.5 million fifth-year club option as well. Hood is also a restricted free agent next season as well"
He has no idea what he is talking about. Playing off an extension? He is a RFA at the end of this season, period. He seems to be confusing that with playing under a qualifying offer

DL hasn't made any significant in-season trades (unless you count Mack). And prior to last year, when the Jazz finally went on a spending "binge" by signing JJ and trading for Fat Boris and George Hill, he constantly repeated the mantra that the Jazz wanted to maintain financial flexibility so they could be players in free agency. And then, every summer, he would lament that the players were overpriced.
I'll be surprised if anything significant happens. DL LOVES to accumulate draft picks - and then generally waste them. It's likely Utah gives away Hood and Favors for future seconds and then DL sits on his hands this summer, wanting another year of landing in the lottery to attempt a secondary rebuild under his watch, since the first essentially only netted Exum with all the losing and extra picks. Everyone else could have been acquired with Utah's own picks.

That looks nothing like a LoPo trade. My trades are hopeful, not ridiculously idiotic.

Five draft picks wasted to end up with Ricky Rubio as the PG.
I said "generally" and to further qualify that, I said we could have acquired everyone but Exum with Utah's existing picks. Utah could have still made the playoffs (by signing decent FA's) and had picks in the 20's for Hood and Gobert. What effect would that have made on Hayward to be a perennial playoff team? And as the best player on the team, perhaps an all-star for a couple of seasons before last. Unless Exum turns out to be a stud, the rebuild was a fail.
Notice I also said "in-season" trades. The trade for the pick that became Mitchell was not "in-season." Maybe more careful reading before posting. To date, the ONLY in-season trade has been acquiring Mack and getting No-Neck, Pleiss and assorted junk for Kanter.
I expect and HOPE DL will make some significant moves. But his track record shows he's more concerned with having a ton of cap space for free agency - and then not using any of it, except for players he finds at the Dollar Store.

Didn't read anything you said cuz DL drafted Rudy and Donovan so if your take isn't DL is an upper tier user of first round picks then your take is doodoo.

Yes, I'll give him Gobert and now Mitchell.
But if you credit him for successes, you have to also acknowledge his failures: Burke, Lyles, wasted lottery pick on Hill (by not having him agree to an extension as terms of the trade), Exum (still TBD), no significant rotation players later in the draft. No "gems" for bringing in nearly 100 players every summer for workouts. Good gawd, you'd expect Idaho/SLC to be able to field a decent squad with that level of player analysis. Instead, they been the WORST D/G League team since Lindsey has been GM.
And losing Hayward for nothing. He alienated him with his culture of losing, further adding to the disrespect Hayward felt during his restricted free agency. Now the RFA was on KOC, but creating a playoff team was on Lindsey. He purposely let Utah lose by not signing free agents (Utah was around 28th in payroll for 3 yrs running, IINM). Despite his mantra of "don't skip steps," he really did. Jazz were never bad enough to have top draft picks, except for one year. If you do a rebuild, do it right! Reportedly, Hayward asked for a trade last summer. Instead of getting nothing, could Utah have gotten anywhere near what Indiana did for George?
Again, I'm hoping DL will make some significant trades. I'm just saying his track record is to hesitate because he dislikes the risks and then he covers his tracks by saying the cost was too high, or they explored all the options and liked their own guys better.
So I won't be surprised if nothing happens.

I'll take the field. He could really end up almost anywhere. His contract is easily absorbed by any team in the league and he'll have some appeal to both playoff contenders and bad teams just looking to acquire young talent. It just depends on who gives us the best offer.

culture of losing ?? You mean a team that went from winning 23 games to 38 to 42 to 51 ?? That kind of culture of losing ?? k
And it was clear that Hayward didn't ask for a trade, in fact threw a little hissy fit demanding to know whether the Jazz were trying to trade him. DL did everything to try to build a perennial 55 win team and was duped by a duplicitous ungrateful sociopathic two faced ****.
