He was clearly fouled on the play he was upset about and he's definitely not the first player to ever be ejected from a game. Come on now, you're grasping at straws here to paint him in a bad light.

I want to see more of O'neal. I think he may already be better than Hood and Burks.

Pure energy guy and he has a very nice corner 3 shot. I like him.
He’s at least better than them at bringing something to the game without scoring.

Yep he's far better than either defensively.

Scoring 30 points in 1st half and then scoring 0 for the 2nd half is the definition of streaky and inconsistent. Hood is good for a bench scorer on a good team, that's what he is. If Hood is your 2nd or 3rd scorer, your team isn't going anywhere. Unfortunately he will be commanding 15-20 million a year (he probably thinks he's worth more) and that's just not a good investment. Someone mentioned JR Smith and his contract is exactly viewed as a poisonous contract.
I'm not sure if Hood is much better than Gerald Green, who was sitting at home a week ago; or Wayne Ellington, who is a career journeyman on basically a minimum contract.
On a sidenote, i absolutely think Jazz should tank this year and draft one of the top six players, hopefully Doncic where Quinn will be able to hide his weekness. Doncic is already near Hayward level at age 18. If we get Mirotic or any stretch 4, look at our roster vs Rockets (top 3 team in the west), it's eerily the same. The talent level is there, all we are missing is a superstar.
Without Harden:
Pass First PG: Chris Paul vs Ricky Rubio
Dynamic SG: Eric Gordon vs Donovan Mitchell
Elite 3-and-D SF: Trevor Ariza vs Joe Ingles
Stretch 4 PF: Ryan Anderson vs Nikola Mirotic
Rim Protect C: Clint Capela vs Rudy Gobert
Bench:
Another Elite 3-and-D SF: PJ Tucker vs Thabo
Instant Offense: Gerald Green vs Hood or Burks
Good Passing Big Man: Nene vs JJohnson
Dirty Work Big Man: Tarik Black vs Ekpe Udoh
Another 3-and-D wing: LRMAM vs Royce O'Neal
As you see, all we are missing is a superstar - who used to be Hayward. But we can easily get another superstar wing in this draft - Doncic / Bagley / Michael Porter Jr. At age 18, Doncic has already won EuroBasket (named to All-EuroBasket team) and Euroleague MVP of the month while playing at Real Madrid, which is one of the top teams in Europe. There really isn't any other way to get superstar players since Utah isn't a desired free agent destination.
Also, you can see what role players with Hood's talent level should be playing at. Definitely not an end game player who waves your best player away and take a contested 3.

Hood is hurting the team far more than he's helping it this year. His shot selection has been horrible, he's shooting the ball way too much, he doesn't get to the FT line, he isn't very good at creating for others, and he's abysmal on defense. To sum it up, when he's on the floor both sides of the ball suffer. The offense stagnates because when the ball touches his hands because the majority of the time he's going to go into iso and take a bad shot. And the defense suffers because he can't defend. Oftentimes he doesn't even show effort. In the 4th qtr vs Miami he was literally sagging all the way under the rim and leaving three point shooters wide open.
He could be a benefit to the team if he took good shots within the offense and gave an effort on defense.
