Perhaps the Jazz are simply performing due diligence on Hood, as all teams do with all players at this time of year. But if the team is truly open to moving Hood, all 29 opposing teams should be pulling out all the stops to be the team that successfully trades for him.

Does this guy even watch Jazz games? He is trying hard to justify his opinion that Hood isn't that bad on defense, but this is nonsense:

"At this point last season, the Jazz were outscoring opponents by 7.8 points per 100 possessions with Hood on court, the team’s third-best net rating. This year, in only 85 fewer minutes, Utah is being outscored by 3.6 per 100 with Hood on court, nearly three points worse than any other Jazz player with at least 700 minutes.

"As always, context is king. Last season over the same stretch, Hood shared the floor with defensive stopper Rudy Gobert for 899 minutes. This season, due to shifting roles, Hood has played only 254 minutes with Gobert. This almost certainly accounts for the fact that the Jazz is allowing a team-worst 107.7 per 100 after limiting opponents to 103 during Hood’s minutes in the same segment of 2016-17."

So the reason the Jazz is allowing 107.7 per 100 with Hood on the floor is because Mitchell replaced Hood in the starting lineup? Poor Hood just isn't getting enough playing time with Gobert, because his starting role went to DM. Well, damn, maybe if Gobert hadn't missed 26 games from injury and if Hood hadn't missed 15 games from whatever, perhaps Rodney could have spent more time playing with Gobert. Of course, Hood did start the first 12 games of the season with Gobert....
 
Don't know if this has been mentioned, but would you do Hood and JJ for Crowder and Osman. Money is barely off in trade machine, however, I think the Cavs could throw in an exception. Crowder has played horrible there, but was great as a system player in Boston. Cheaper than resigning Hood (who has balled out lately but often looks like a rich man's CJ Miles...) Cedi has a lot of upside. JJ deserves a championship chance and this could be it.

I probably would have. I’ve liked Crowder since his early days in Boston destroying us and got really excited temporarily when it looked like we may land him in the summer, but at this point I’m thinking just roll with Royce.

I know the guy can score, but here are my questions about Hood
Click to expand...

My guesses:
- does he play good enough defense to stay on the floor in the playoffs?: Yes
- can he stay healthy enough to rationalize a $15+ per year deal?: Probably
- will he facilitate the offense enough to keep us ticking?: Probably/maybe
- is he okay coming off the bench for probably the whole contract?: Probably not​

Yet the poll did not include his most likely destination.

You see the choice titled "Field" do you not?

Ya bitch *** I made this poll 2 weeks ago and it includes 4 of the 5 teams reported by Tony Jones yesterday that had interest in Hood.

I think Rodney Hood is a 20 point per game 6th man with upside. With a new contract and a defined role, I think he’s going to be very, very good next year. Just not sure what the number value is on that.

Agree. We made a mistake asking him to become Benedict. Hes a sniper from deep and thats what he should be focusing on.
