Rodney Hood Refuses to Enter Game in Garbage Time

Hood probably went from thinking he was going to get close to a max contract this off season to sitting the bench in the playoffs and wondering if he was going to get a MLE contract this off season.

Yep. I imagine he and his agent were comp'ing Otto Porter's deal. Then he gets demoted in Utah to coming off the bench and they likely asked for a trade. He goes to Cleveland and is starting again, then gets demoted to the bench. And then finds himself completely out of the rotation. He'll be lucky to get an MLE deal. His recourse is probably to sign a 1yr deal to try to rebuild his value.

He apparently doesn't do well when pressured in a contract year. Maybe he'd be better to settle for a lower contract for a few years, something really modest. Prove his worth and regain his confidence.
 
He was expected to be Utah's number one guy this year. I imagine that must have been a pretty good high for him.
And at the first chance for him to actually do it, he was in the bathroom and Mitchell started for him at the last minute.

Sounds like a thing Hood should be mad at everyone else for again.
