Extensions, baby!

Yeah, its always a possibility. Its also possible for Hood that those teams target someone else first, get them, then Hood is left with no suitor. That will inevitably happen with some of this years RFAs.

I think 10-12 per for Exum is fair and potentially a great contract for the Jazz.
Not sure why Hood could demand more than 15-17 per year. I guess in an expanded role (SF vs catch and shoot guy) he might blow up. In Hood's case he has had an extra year to develop.
But those offers show commitment to them - and also recognition by both of them that they have yet to fulfill their potential.

With Exum I can see this happen, but barring a major injury, someone will make a huge offer to Hood. He's a wing with decent size who can shoot and will get a featured role on the Jazz this season.
Hood's range is huge.
Could have breakout year and be a monster (think that is in the cards)
Or he could have another year of injuries which in turn lead to the same inconsistent play yet again.

Is this a subtle jab regarding FO and Hayward
It's more a realization of the fact that if we want a bargain contract on our hands, we have to take chances. The 29 other teams are not going to sit by and let us sign our own free agents for below market value.

If Hood just stays the way he has been for his first three years, I don't see any reality where a team like the Nets do not offer him at least 4/80.

Of course, it's not like we will have space to chase FA. If someone offers him 4/52 I wish him luck and tell him goodbye.

Hoods inyerview gor me excited today. He seemed to be very self aware. He talked about taking too many off balance shots and working on his handle. The kid seems like he is his own biggest critic. I would bet on him having a big year.
When is the extension deadline for both?
If we can get that massive trade exception in a sign and trade from Boston then I'd feel good giving them extensions in the same price range that Cy mentioned.
Hood 4/60
Exum 4/40
If we can't get that exception then I would be nervous jumping the gun though. Hood is a career 41% shooter who has only been healthy for one year. Exum is still an unknown. Without Hayward the teams future is a question mark. We have to find a way to put a couple star players around Rudy. As of right now our cap space over the next few years is one of our few ways to do it.
