Extend Hood ?

Somewhere in between 4/60 and 4/80 would be the range. I think 4/70 would get it done.

Good deal? Honestly I just think it depends on if he was healthy long-term. I don't think there is a lot of middle ground on it... I think either it will be a home run for us or a regrettable contract.

I think we should make a good effort... but if he goes Nerlens on us then just pass.

agree .. like so many scenarios this year there's just such a gulf between the best and worst scenario

You would think, but players are unreasonable... this is not a new occurrence. I think he could point to Tim Hardaway, Allen Crabbe, etc. and say I'm better than those guys... and if he has a great healthy year he could go 25+ per year. I think it will be 4/75-85 on second thought, which might be too rich for the organization given last year's production.

If he has a great healthy year, obviously all bets are off. I'd go so far as to say he'd be dumb not to test the market in that scenario. However, I'm looking at this as Utah extending him early in the season. His previous health is definitely a big factor here. If Utah is going to wait and see what kind of year he has, then this thread is kind of pointless, as the results will determine which direction Hood/the FO decides to go.

Hardaway is really the only applicable example here, though. Crabbe was signed 2 seasons ago before the salary cap came up significantly short, and was traded away as a bad contract.

Also, even if you ignore the Nerlens situation due to playing a different position, Hood saw what happened to George Hill, who declined a huge offer and then ended up playing for a ****ty team for less money. You have to believe his agent wants to avoid being in that situation just as much as he wants to try and max his value.

but is he willing to risk having another injury riddled year like last year and potentially having his value plummett ??
 
being an agent would suck right now. IT is sucha huge gamble one way or the other.

IF he signs now and plays very well will he regret signing for less or does he wait and regress or the market dries up even more.

With Gordon Hayward gone, the Jazz face an interesting decision – should they lock up Rodney Hood now or wait and see what the market thinks next July?

Sources close to the situation said recently that Hood and his camp are very open to an extension. While Hood is expected to play a bigger role sans Hayward, there is a window over the next two months to lock Hood into a deal that might make more sense for the Jazz today than waiting until next July.

The prevailing thought is something similar to what Evan Turner got from Portland (four-years $70 million) would lock in Hood for the next four years.

The question for the Jazz is do they bite now on a player that’s missed 58 games over the past three seasons, or do they risk Hood improving on his 12.7 points per game and 37.1 percent three-point average?

There seems to be at least a willingness on Hood’s side to get an early extension done; we’ll see if the Jazz feels the same way.

At $17.5 per. It's skirting the price I'd like to pay, but it's better than getting into a bidding war for him. And because he plays below the rim, I'm betting his contract will remain tradable.
