Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

[jjscap]

This is a bad trade! I really don't like it! People think Boston Crowder when they think Crowder. This is not what Crowder is nowadays. He's been trash all around - offense, defense, shooting, even rebounding..

All 15 players on the CAVs are under-performing, not only Crowder. That's an opportunity because he's undervalued. Playing with a good coach instead of Lue or well, Lebron, he'll prove he's good value on a cheap contract.

you people are ****ing morons. Every single person who thinks JJ is going to play for Sac should be forced to delete their account

Oh excuse me, you ****ing barnacle.

I agree with that. If you can't see that then you no clue at all how the NBA even works.

Also, this trade probably means waiving Thabo or trading him is basically a given in free agency. Right?

I say No.
Crowder and Thabo both log valuable minutes at PF next year. I think we've fully moved to a 4-out-1-in system

I like it, I think.

Hood is the better player WHEN he plays, as long as he plays well. But, his future contract aside, Hood has missed something like a third of his career to a multitude of, um, injuries? To top that off, he doesn't always show up when he does play.

Crowder is a great system player who plays his *** off and provides spacing. His advanced stats in his last year in Boston were comparable to Hayward's (different roles of course).

Crowder is absolutely better than 25 good games of Hood, at any price.

I'm really excited to see what Jae can do, and I heartily welcome him to the family.

I don't see any reason to unless somebody was willing to give up an asset. There's the saying "you can't have enough wings"

You don't want vet wings on your team who arent playing when they want to be playing.

Donovan's safety net is gone. They are giving him the keys and his own carabiner key ring for his Jetta.

No way he put Ingles to the bench. Ingles shooting is too important in the starting lineup.

Spacing wont change between the two. Crowder isnt a guy you leave open from 3, so their shooting doesnt change much. Either way you can keep ingles starting but Crowder is going to cut back some of his minutes and a little bit of his ball handling. Ingles was playing too much and trying to do too much and got worn down.

Crowder has had one good shooting year. Spacing changes a lot, plus the whole actually making the shot thing.

Also the Jazz have won 7 games in a row, they arent changing the starting lineup

*unless a favors trade happens*

No one leaves him open in Cleveland and dares him to shoot. That is the only thing that hurts spacing, like what players do to Rubio.

I agree, they are not know. But he is a guy that will push him for that spot this year or next.
