Hood is the reason 3.0 (Thanks for reading)

His fg% is a career low but his 39.6% three point percentage is a career best.

Sort of paradoxical.

Not sure how I feel. He’s def not a 1 or 2 option on a championship team and likely not a third imo.

That said , there’s not a lot of money to go around this summer. And shooting is really important. I wonder if we could get him on a 3 year/30M deal. Too much? Ridiculously hopeful?

We're not rooting against him. He's just not delivering and is about to get a massive payday from somebody.

Not at the rate he's producing. Nobody is giving a bench rotation player, a guy with a negative VORP, a ****** defensive rating in a system that's been howled about, a crap ts%, and offers nothing other than streak shooting a massive payday. If they do then it's great for the Jazz as it soaks up salary cap somewhere else. I hope the guy gets $20 million from somebody else. He's not going to, but hope and being a fan are one in the same.

He's only worth $10.
 
Maybe Orlando trades the pick to get rid of Biyombo (many think this is impossible otherwise) and replace him with Favors. Gordon at PF next to Favors at C could really work.

only takes on a-hole and someone will miss out on their top target... I see no scenario, outside of a major injury, where he gets less than 15M a year. Youngish wings get paid... Hardaway Jr., Bazemore, Crabbe... OP Jr. is a tier above those guys for sure and he was a no brainer max contract.

We can replace what Rod brings to the table for half the price imo... if we can get an asset too then awesome.
 
At the beginning of the season Hood didn't sign the extension that was offered. Does anyone know how much as offered?

It was an interesting year for him to prove his value without Gordon. I think that his value is being established more and more. Johnny Bryant focused on him all off season and it hasn't paid off to date. He is absolutely a streaky shooter.

In spite of that, I think some of ya'll need to step away from the cliff's edge. I am confident that the Jazz will help him improve even if his value has not improved much from last year to this year.

There aren't many options that can avg 17 points per game at the SG spot. Most of them are getting over $17 million/yr. If this season spending is down during the FA run then we may be able to have him back for $15.5 or so.

I looked over FA and the only other option that may be more compelling is to send that type of money to sign Avery Bradley. He is averaging 15.7 ppg this year and is a lock down defender. But is Avery Bradley the type of guy we would want next to Mitchell? Does he stretch the floor enough? I think that should be the question surrounding EVERY acquisition. Is this the type of player we want playing next to Mitchell? Hood may be that player more than Bradley because he can stretch the floor... at least when he is 'on'.

I could see if they didn't have new management maybe... I think they would be more likely to trade Gordon, Fournier, Payton, etc. (at a premium in Gordon's case) and do a complete tear down.

I don't think they are desperate to get off of Biyombo's money... they don't really have a cap crunch coming and they have other moveable contracts that would not require an asset.

Guys like Will Barton, KCP, Wayne Ellington, Pat Conaughton, Joe Harris, will be available and some will be cheaper. Not direct replacements, but all could replace some of what Rod brings and all, except KCP, will likely be much cheaper. In the bargain basement bin you could sign Belinelli, Seth Curry, James Ennis.

There are also some flyer guys that may have something McCaw, Rashad Vaughn, Hezonja.

He's not irreplaceable. I like that he can get volume threes, but the inconsistent combined with the injuries are not worth the premium we will have to pay.
