Would also have to renounce rights on everyone.

This it is doable if we move AB and renounce the non-guaranteed guys. Jerebko and Udoh are good values... Thabo if healthy. I don't think we are big players in FA. I think we look at lower tier MLE guys.
 
I have mixed feelings about this trade for a few reasons:

1. Hood requested a trade because it hurt his feelings when he got booed. **** the fans that booed him, straight up. Weak, assholes. But the fact that this shook him this much is telling. The guy is a head case and his streakiness only makes this more evident. But still, stupid fans made the Jazz look bad.

2. How are going to replace his 17 ppg? Crowder will not provide the fire power Hood, although inconsistently, provided is going to hurt a team that already struggles to score. Hood and JJ have saved this teams *** many times. I fear the playoffs may not happen this year.

3. I like Crowder and think he will return to BOS form with the Jazz. He's a great addition on a good contract. At least we got a piece that will contribute this year.

4. More O'Neal please.

All in all, I loved Hood. I'm sad to see him go. But it was obviously time to turn the page. Unfortunately, I think it's at the detriment of our playoff hopes.

We only have to replace 20 pts every third game or so...

For real though I think we get better defensively and will move the ball a little better with JJ and rod off the floor... so the system will replace some of that offense. It will bog down though sometimes.
 
The Jazz have always been about security and good contracts. So even though Crowder is sucking this year, they will hope Quin can coach him up to at least something close to what Brad Stevens was able to do.

There was likely a 1% chance of Hood walking for nothing. There is very little money for FA this year, which is why sweet Lou took a deal for 8 m a year. Utah likely could have signed Hood pretty cheaply. All things considered, this trade has the possibility of being good or slightly bad, but not some disaster.

If nothing else, Utah traded for the guy who broke Haywood's ankle. So that's a plus.

All it takes is one team. Philly, Dallas, and Atlanta were threats to pay him big.

1. A head case? That’s a little hyperbolic. He’s got a different psychological makeup, and not necessarily even one that’s abnormal (even for sports), but headcase is so far off-base.

2. I think the style both Hood and JJ played meant we had to take the ball out of other peoples’ hands. I’m not convinced the scoring will be a big issue. I feel the same about Udoh and Favors — I think we’d be better off with Udoh even though Favors how more overall talent.

3. He’ll be a good value deal, for sure, if only we could get Patrick Beverley.

4. For sure, but I think he loses minutes here. Next year, though.

He took kind of a lot of shots to get those points (he wasn’t all that efficient)

So in answer to your question, simply have other players take the shots hood was taking. Could work out even better if more efficient players are now taking the field goal attempts that hood was previously.

Ehh, it will be difficult. We dont win the Memphis game without Hood's offense. The Pelicans game might have even been a struggle without Hood. There will be nights were you cant tell he is gone, but there will definitely be games where he is missed.
