No way lmao. His defense wasnt bad in Memphis at all. We dont win without him, it's pretty cut and dry in that game. I dont think there is much of an argument there against it.
Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

Lol. I disagree 100%. His defense was so obviously bad and he provided nothing other than some points. Someone else could get those points. He wasn’t all that efficient.
He wasn't. Between all the missed games and the inconsistencies, he wasn't a positive factor for the majority of games (more than half) Jazz played during his time with the team.
I'd say he was a positive factor for 25-30 games each season.
He would have been making Curry-like money, per capita, had the Jazz extended him.
He's a very efficient three point shooter. When he plays. His numbers are good in that area, which is, like you said, all he offers.
I might be wrong, but I bet we'll like having Crowder here.

ALways sorta felt like Crowder was destined to be on the Jazz. I'll miss Rodney - will never forget that game against the Lakers two years ago when he was like 8/8 for 3s in the first half - kobe spent the rest of the game glued to him even at the cost of wide open layups

It was lacking hood when we beat Toronto in Toronto, golden state by 30, and he barely played when we beat San Antonio in San Antonio where he was 2-5 from he field and a negative 2 in plus minus.
We are 10-5 this season when hood doesn’t play.
That’s quite a bit better than our overall record.

He was handed the feature role this year and didn't "blow up." His ceiling isn't much higher than it is now. Why would you assume that guaranteed money and a more intensely scrutinized role would be just what the doctor ordered for him? He's Chandler Parsons on a good day, and those aren't every day.
Most players dont blow up in their 4th year. It's usually a year of struggle in a bigger role, then you have the better season when you have learned from that experience.
All I know is that Jazz fans are extremely impatient and fickle with players. Just like people freaked about about Hayward's bad year in this 4th season, or when people freaked out about Rubio starting the year off slow, it seems fans rarely want to think about context.
Hood was expected to take the lead role after all the dysfunction and injuries a half season in. **** outta here. This one can definitely bite us.

Well yeah. But it's not like the Jazz wouldn't want him for the rest of this season, but it doesn't work like that. When he's gone he's gone. It's pretty clear that they didn't think his RFA status worked in their favor and got what they could.
