Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

They even have the same lingo now .. if you don't already know Mitchell tweets out "Let's go" before every game.

Thinking of Hood's situation though, I don't think he'll get the same opportunity of attacking the PnR as he did here.

He better be able to hit those shots whenever LeBron finds him. Potential weak mentality players can get chewed and spat out on James' teams.

Tristan / Nance
Love / Green
Lebron / Osman
Hood / Clarkson
Hill / Calderon

It's a decent team, still not sure that's a Championship winning team. Chemistry is everything in the NBA and they'll need to form that chemistry fast.

Looking at that roster it seems like Hood will be a key player and he is getting thrown into the fire pit straight away.

So Hood was upset when Jazz fans booed him
What's going to happen when Cavs fans boo him
What's going to happen when Lebron gets in his face for playing bad

Probably for the best though. We tried to put him in Hayward's role and he failed.

THANK YOU to Utah for three and a half incredible years. Ive grown so much in this city as an athlete and as a man. Shoutout to all my teammates, coaches, and fans for an experience I will never forget. Now it's time to get after it for The Land

Lue said they are still going to start JR Smith. Also I assume Korver will get more SF minutes than Osman right? I am guessing Clarkson gets the backup PG?

They have a lot of role players that they dont have enough minutes for.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I think DL was like "WTF you gave the FRP to LA... that was supposed to come here you knobs."

Should have held out for Osman over Rose. Would’ve been nice getting a young asset back as well.

They needed the Jazz on board to get Hill and were looking to move off IT and Crowder. I think they would have blinked.

I actually think Hood's pull ups Fromm set screen were kind of a low-key strength of his. At the Cavs I think he only becomes a spot up shooter. And how much are the Cavs going to tolerate Rodney's quirks?

Those quirks are no longer the Jazz's problem, but I thought it was interesting to think about nonetheless.

"With Rodney Hood and Joe Johnson off the court (1.153 minutes or the equivalent of 24 full games) the team's offensive rating is 112.6 and their defensive rating is 105.2. The Rockets lead the league with a +8.37 differential, followed by the Raptors at +7.99. Golden State is currently third with a +7.27 differential"

IT's defense was so bad that I think Hill may be a bigger upgrade over Hood. They just need to be good enough to take down Boston that's all I hope for.

Yeah totally forgot about JR Smith.. then I guess you're right Clarkson would be the PG of the 2nd unit.
