Locke has been quick to point out recently that the bucks are roughly 10-20ish since trading for mcw last year. Although Parker could have an impact on that

I don't understand the trade of Knight either but the Bucks have now added into the mix Jabari Parker and Greg Monroe. They have a good team and a surprisingly good coach.
 
Bucks effed up their chemistry and will miss the playoffs this year #hottake. Removing good vets like Zaza, Dudley, and Illyasova (and Knight if you want to count him) for flawed players like MCW and Monroe will prove to be a bad deal long term.

Hood is better than Parker. I understood the love for Jabari, but I worry he will never be in good enough shape to have a long career. He's also now had two serious injuries... one in hs and one last year. I would not trade Hood for Parket straight up which I think might be crazy, but i see great things with Hood.

The thing that is impressive about Hood to me is that he can get good shots when he wants to almost all the time. Gordon took a big step in this last year, but hasn't looked great at it this year. Hood does it deliberately and in a variety of ways. Great in pick and roll and on the drive. He has been better finishing at the rim this year too.

the player he most reminds me of is Brandon Roy. Think Hood could be a better scorer and Roy the better passer.
 
I actually think that Hood's floor is Jeff Hornacek. Put him on a bad 76r's team, he could be first option and all-star, but ultimately that isn't the best use of his game. He's the type of steady hand that, on a solid team, wins playoff games and can stop and start runs. Hopefully he is more, but a taller more athletic Jeff Hornacek certainly doesn't suck.
 
"The bad news, experts agree, is that there's no such thing as a full recovery from an ACL injury. But the good news is that doctors have been doing a better job of getting patients prepared for reconstructive surgery and have made the surgery as minimally invasive as possible. The result is that athletes can come out of the process nearly as strong as they were before their injuries."

Anyone that thinks Rodney Hood is as good or going be a better player then Parker should STOP WATCHING BASKETBALL NOW. this has to be the dumbest thread I have ever read here. Even more dumb then a lot of those idiot trade ideas. Just wow if you think they are close to being the same player. Jazz fans never cease to amaze me. That's why I come here. For comedy relief

This is so funny. Hood couldn't handle being the man so he transferred to Duke to play with a guy who could handle it. Yet you think he would be an allstar... LOL Dude stop watching hoops cuz your lack of knowledge is disrespectful to the game that I love

The thing that excites me the most about Hood is that I have no idea what his ceiling is. He has no serious deficiencies, and a whole lot of strengths. And he seems to have the work effort needed to really bring out the strengths even more. I see the Blazers version of Wes Matthews as being his floor. I can see him being an "almost all star". I can also totally seem him becoming a legit all star. I can also see him becoming a DOMINANT all star. I just have no idea how good he can be, at this point.

You don't see it? Dude is unafraid, and has very few real holes in his game. He will take it into the tall pines, drill it from outside, and makes it look easy. That type of coolness and smoothness isn't natural, Kobe had to work on it for years when he got into the league and it was painful to watch. Hood does it like it ain't no thing. If he was in a larger media market, he would be a sensation. Being "nasty" doesn't mean you are an a-hole like Cousins, it means you are cold blooded, which Hood is.

Earlier you said something so comical and showed your lack of iq but now Hood can do something thatKOBE took years to perfect.. Dude go watch soccer cuz basketball is to complicated for your small brain
 
I realize these are small sample sizes for both players but here is a comparison of Jabari's results last season vs Rodney's results so far this season.

I just think Parker is going to have to get serious about his fitness level. He could become Carmelo or he could flame out because he can't stay healthy. He has too much bad weight weighing on his knees.

Hood is a hard worker. Guy lives basketball. If he can avoid the foot issues he had last year he has a chance to be special.
