Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

[Jazzta]

The same I felt before - bad trade, where we traded for PG who doesn't fit with our system and our most important player. And we gave up a first to a team that had been begging teams to take Rubio off their hands for the previous year. Unless... you think this 7 games sample where Rubio is shooting 55% from 3 and scoring over 20 points a game will continue for the rest of his contract and beyond. I don't, this is a hot streak... just like he had in the beginning of the season... and he will revert to the mean sooner or later.

Would you like your crow broiled, grilled or deep fried sir?

Stand back everyone, this is the time for NAOS and Saint Cry to show everyone how smart they think they are. What ****ing dorks.

Cy just likes to argue but he knows his stuff and at least makes the argument interesting.

NAOS has to take advantage of people that will still interact with him, its getting slim pickings for him. He is entertaining at least.

It's a bet that Hood will get overpaid and Crowder can return to being a positive asset on a great contract.

My only problem is I assumed the Jazz could get more (a decent first-rounder), but my assumption was obviously off.

I guess if this means Favors is resigned, I am grudgingly OK with the trade.

so what position does Crowder play, i thought SF so having Crowder and Oneil come off the bench to bully people will be fun to watch.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think that price range is reasonable for his performance and I'm not sure why the Jazz would be scared of that. I like his versatility on offense a lot

It is if he is your starting 2-guard. He isnt that on Utah.

I agree, but Ingles is very good. He also costs quite a bit more. Dollar for dollar, it's close.

Either way, glad to move on from Hood. He will probably miss the next 20 games due to jet lag.

I am bummed we didnt get more from him but it was time to move one.

I think Hood has something to prove and will do okay for a little bit but I am glad we dont have to see him hurt all the time. He seems like he cant play through little injuries that every player in the NBA has. Even if he comes out and plays nicked up he plays pretty poorly unless 100% healthy.

I wish him all the best though. He seems like a really nice guy.

Probably backup 4, with some 3. Curious to see who gets more minutes between him and O'Neil.

 

[Grimmetal]

Did I really just skim through "Ingles is much better than Crowder?"
I was afraid to come in here...

 

[karl malone]

Crowder's personality/style of play should mesh perfectly with DM, Gobert, Ingles, etc. My guess is it's 1 of the main reasons (along with contract/versatility) DL targeted him.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Does Burks get back into the rotation with Hood out, or does Royce (and eventually Exum) get all the backup 2 minutes?

 

[RRJazz]

Crowder is moving from the Cavs locker room to the Jazz locker room. Talk about changing hell for heaven. Also, from Lue to Snyder. He must be giddy right now.

It's more that I don't see how having Crowder is gonna improve the quality on the court compared to paying Hood
