Locked On Jazz 10/16/17 Hood RFA Notes

[stitches]

No but I would want that much if we went scorched earth to clear space.

That's the thing - for it to be worth clearing that much space, the player we are getting must be damn worth it. And those players are usually not 10-12-15M level players. You need high upside/max type of player in order to make this worth it.

So renouncing Exum and/or trading Burks and waiving a bunch of non-guaranteed vets is scorching the earth?

Next tell us how Rubio has no shot in Quin's offense

lol. ^The voice of a cornered animal who just got bitch slapped^

It's kind of like anything could happen and remaining flexible is an advantage.


But please, keep telling us how you know how everything between now and 2018 FA will pan out and that flexibility on Hood is irrelevant just like Rubio in Quin's offense (then he scores back to back 20 point games).

My bad for some reason I was looking at Joe Johnson's instead of Exums

lol

hisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. (Wimper).

fixed

Pretty obvious that Hood and his agent want a number... and that the number is too far north of what Hood has proven to this point.

IMO He probably wanted something similar to what Harris got and if that's the case I can understand why DL would decide to wait it out.

And renouncing Neto, Favors, Joe Johnson... combined with giving up on Exum (should do that now if that is where we are headed), plus whatever asset we used to give Burks away.

Dropping down to 5 players... That is pretty much scorched earth. Renouncing all of those guys means they won't be back except for potentially Neto.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I think I would have gone for that if I was DL... or something close to it. If he stays healthy and takes a decent step forward I think he gets that deal.

I think we may have wanted team options or a steeper discount because of health concerns... which are legit.

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

I think it is a reason but it's much lower on the list than health and consistency.

Bingo.

Hood was likely holding out for more than Utah wanted to pay and Utah wasn't ready to give it to him. Which kind of falls in line with TJ saying they wanted to wait and see if he could stay healthy.

The reason Locke gave has a element of truth to it, but if Utah had the chance to re-sign Hood at a decent price, it would be silly to risk having to match a huge contract in order to preserve cap space that isn't likely to be a factor anyway.

If he does get that deal then we can just match anyway right? (I'm thinking he would be restricted but I could be wrong)
If so, then what benefit would there be to extending early? Seems like there would only be downside. (He gets hurt or plays like crap and we regret the extension)
