Extend Hood ?

Those aren't cons though... more talent producing is a problem that is easily solved... only cons are if he can't stay healthy and if he isn't consistent.

Cons in that it could seriously effect what he can make from the Jazz and possible the open market. My point is it might be better for him to sign a 3 year extension now before the money dries up?
 
I felt like rudy gobert was our top defender and anchor on defense. Maybe you have heard of him

Yeah but Hayward was guarding the top perimeter player it seems. Was responding to him having energy to do both.

Rudy Gobert is my religion... u know this.
 
Okay I see... my bad

Hayward was rotated on defense on the Jazz. He rarely had sole responsibility of the other team's top player, and when he did, he knew he was backed by Gobert. He is actually the best option for guarding anyone 6'5" or taller on the Celtics. That is a harder life than what was expected from him here. The good news for him is that the Eastern conference is filled with vast amounts of suck, so it may not matter.

The last part is unfortunately the part that matter most. East Lebron, Giannis, DeRozan... West KD, Kwahi, PG3, Jimmy Butler, Thompson, Wiggins Ugh...
 
Gary Harris just signed for 4yr/84mil with 74mil guaranteed (team and individual bonus clauses worth the remaining $10 million)

Definitely a comp that Hood's camp will use

The Jazz will do well to get Hood for $70M. I'm looking at other comps in the league...

-- Khris Middleton signed for 5 years and $70M.
-- Evan Fournier is signed for 5 years and $85M.
-- Tim Hardaway Jr. signed for 4 years and $72M.

Hood could get an offer around $80M with a 4th year player option, even if the cap is flat. I was hoping the Jazz could extend him for 4/$65M.

BTW, I think Hood can easily average 18 ppg playing off the Rubio/Gobert pick-and-roll with Ingles and Johnson spacing the floor.
