As the trade deadline inches closer...

Much like us with Gordon, San Antonio has to trade Kawhi before risking losing him for nothing. However, I think San Antonio would have to crash out of the playoffs in pretty ugly fashion for them to consider trading Kawhi.

Sounds great if only it was that easy.

Yep. DL needs assets to work deals next summer and two current assets will be gone by then, so trading them for serviceable players now will give him something of value for future deals, even if they don't help the team.

If Favors and Hood are still here on February 9th, it is because DL couldn't find a trade partner that gave him anything more valuable than the cap space he gains for letting them walk -- which is a pretty low bar.

I think they’d just unload all their old guys and reboot before trading him - assuming he’s healthy and not dealing with major issues.

They can extend him this offseason... if he doesn't take the extension then you look to move him if you feel you have too. I think this report is... really speculative.
 
Here is a recent article speculating where Hood might fit best with a contender: https://hoopshabit.com/2018/01/23/utah-jazz-3-contenders-that-should-trade-for-rodney-hood/

3. OKC - lol
2. Minnesota - lol - they would trade us the OKC pick back for Hood.

1. Cleveland - they trade us Osman and a future 1st. Now that caught my eye. What if Cleveland traded us Osman and an unprotected 2021 first round pick or the chance at a pick swap in coming drafts. If Cleveland wants to win now AND maximize current draft picks, they could look to deal an asset from way down the road. They could end up with DeAndre Jordan and Hood. That could be pretty substantial for them to keep LBJ after this season.

We might hate waiting on that 1st, but knowing Cleveland's past history, the pick could be #1... At the very least, we could groom Osman in the short term instead of paying Hood a fortune this summer.

I would probably pull the trigger on the Minnesota trade. We could use that Pick for Niko or someone else who fits the new Spida/Eiffel Tower building blocks.

Cleveland as well. A first for Rodney Hood would probably be fair value.

I wish Minnesota would trade us the 1st and Shabazz for Hood. That would be decent, even if Shabazz decided to leave.
