I don't think we should include Hood in any draft day trades unless we are moving up to the top-5. Call me a homer all you want, but if it's only to move up 3-5 spots, it's not worth it.

In general I am not crazy about moving up with two exceptions - Russell and Hezonja. Part of it is I like several people that are projected to be there for us to pick at 12 and the other thing is, I don't really think most of the prospect ahead are worth what it would take for us to move and get them. For example here's the prices I'd be willing to pay for the players projected ahead of us... lets go with DX mock:

1. Karl Towns PF/C - not happening, it would take one of our core guys and I don't see us starting over(Would you trade Favors + 12 for him?)
2. Jahlil Okafor C - not happening, it would take one of our core guys... and I don't really like him that much
3. D'Angelo Russell PG/SG - same, I think... But I think I would give up hood for him for sure + #12 + 2 additional picks and I still don't think it gets us there.
4. Justise Winslow SF - I like him but I wouldn't trade what it would take to get there
5. Willie Cauley-Stein C - not interested in trading up for him
6. Emmanuel Mudiay PG - not interested in trading up for him
7. Mario Hezonja SG/SF - #12 + 2 firsts + second?
8. Frank Kaminsky PF - not interested in trading up for him
9. Kristaps Porzingis PF - 12 + 1 first
10. Stanley Johnson SF - 12 + 1 first
11. Myles Turner C - I wouldn't trade up for him

I'm not sure Hood's value is as high as it should be. He was really good at the end of the year. He also improved on defense tremendously. I remember watching summer league thinking this guy was going to get lit up by everyone. I'm not sure he's a plus defender but he's not bad. He has a high care factor.

I do wonder if he holds up... the foot stuff scares me. I'd love to get a guy like SJ in part as Hood insurance.

So you don't think his value is high enough in the regard that in a trade #12 & Hood for #7 or #8, it would be an even deal?
 
I don't know if I'm buying all the Cameron Payne hype. He isn't much bigger than Burke, a little quicker, but his numbers are a near carbon copy of Burke's at Michigan's.
He got to the free throw line once more per 40 minutes than Burke did, at the expense of a higher turnover rate.

I would be willing to trade up for Mudiay if he fell to #5 or #6 and the price was right.

How much would you be willing to give up for him at 6?

#12 + the picks we have from GSW, OKC.

#12 and Hood, possibly.

I think we overvalue the picks we have, it is nice to have extra firsts, but in reality the GSW pick is going to be in the 25-30 range and the OKC pick is going to end up being two second-round picks. We have found some nice talent in the latter part of the first-round recently though.

I would trade Hood in a deal for Towns, Russell, Okafor, Mudiay, and maybe Hezonja.

Ummm.... you sure we're talking about the same Cameron Payne?
 
I'm going to be totally honest, I did not watch one Murray St. game this year.

I really have no idea if Cameron Payne is going to be good or not.
