Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

I like this... but don't forget about Thabo.

I'm still not sure how much impact a 34 year old coming off of an MCL surgery is going to have.

Count me in as a fan of the trade. Mostly because we dumped $10 million dollars, upgraded our defense, got rid of a disgruntled player, and we got the guy that broke Hayward...

Help with JJs buyout?

Ah. Makes sense. Guess I hadn’t processed the full financials of the deal.

Also, we traded:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but december offers a good simple size of who Rodney Hood is:
15 games. He missed the first 5 and played the last 10. Of the ones he played:
In 5 he shot 42-85 49%
In 5 he shot 19-65 29% (5-29 17% from 2)
2 free throws, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover per game.

So, of all games available, Hood basically misses 33%, is hot in 33%, and is cold in 33%.
I wouldn't pay Hood as much as he expects to get, that's for sure.

We don't pay $17+ Million for this:

Also, we traded:

Vietnam was no joke, man.

I think Crowders personality will mesh very well with Gobert and Ingles personality.

Of all of the players on the Jazz, Hood was the only one who had the potential to resent Mitchell's rising fame. I sometimes felt that Hood pressed too much on offense in trying to outshine DM. My memory isn't trustworthy, but I can't think of a single game where both Hood and DM shined.

@ Miami

And then Hood went and decided he wanted to be the hero that game and bricked on a dumb shot.

But instead we pay $7.5 million for 2.5 years for this:

While I like what Crowder provides on defence on offence he is nowhere near Hood. Kind of disappointed but understand why Jazz did it. Wish Rodney all the best.
