Jazz any closer to knowing their 2019 roster configuration?

I would do Hood for a first round pick in the 10-20 range. I don't think teams in that range would do it though.

Hood to Philly for their pick (not the LA pick) could work. Hood to Indiana for their pick. Hood to NO for their pick, though they may try and drop some salary in that deal because they are going into luxury tax hell.

I am not 100% sure I would do those deals and I'm not sure those teams would either. If Hood played 70-75 games a year I think he's a great fit with DM and Rudy. I wouldn't rush into it and the Jazz know what his contract demands are because they have negotiated already.

And couldn't come to an agreement, which means there was a significant difference in valuation. I like Hood, but he's injured way too much (frail build?) and I think he and his agent are thinking Porter money - or close to it.

I'd trade Rodney and go with Burks as the starting SG. Or Jazz go for a big SF and slide Ingles to SG.

What's apparent to me are:
1. Gobert and Favors should NOT be on the court together. Well, I guess against this year's version of the Pelicans with DMC and Unibrow. But that's about it.
2. Mitchell gives Utah maximum value at PG. Or call him a play-making 2. Whatever the case, he's the penetrator we all hoped Dante would become.

So make decisions around the franchise players.
*Get a PF who can shoot the 3. A rich man's Jerebko or a young man's Joe Johnson.
*Send Rubio to the bench. Start Mitchell and whoever wants to be in Utah at the right price. That could be Hood. It might be Dante. It might be Burks. Could even be Lebron based on his love for the young king, DM (just kidding).
*Consider going after a big SF (and utilizing Ingles as a 6th man).

I think it's wild anyone wants to trade Rodney. Only way I would consider it if the Jazz are going super risky and trying to get a guy like Jabari Parker. A pick in the 10-20 range likely isnt worth it.
