Iggy will gladly entertain offers and then re-sign with Ws. I think he just wants to make sure the Ws give him a fair offer and value him. In the end I bet he takes a discount to stay with the team and keep winning.

No, we have something else to go on.
Also I didnt define Hood by his playoff performance. I said I hope he cant play worse than that. I implied he would be better than that. That hopefully is his lowest point performance. Just like I hoped Hayward would improve over his ****ty playoffs as a 21 year old.

You implied more than just that, hun. You chose to write castigating remarks about some games in Rod's career and not others. The implication is that those are somehow defining. This is basic psychology. Rod was hurt, too, btw.

When he wasn't playing on one leg he was fantastic. Hood is the guy that's ready to burst onto the scene and start getting a lot of attention provided he can keep his knee right. The dude is silky smooth and has no fear.

I like it. He was awesome two years ago. Decent last year. We know he has the chops to be really good though.
He was playing well this season until he got hurt. Even never seemed right after that injury mid season. He did regress at a lot of things this season though which was not encouraging (even when healthy). Part of that was due to running the ball more through Hayward and Hill. Hood health is a huge concern though, just as much or more so than Favors. The rigor of the season seems too much for him.
What is best case scenario for Hood? Big season 20+ points? Then he gets a max offer from a team like Brooklyn or someone else. Do we match a max or near max offer for him.
Do we hope he has some struggles next season so his contract is reasonable?
Do we have room for him Hayward and Gobert to have max contracts? Is that a team to win it all?
I am in favor of trading Hood if we can get a solid player in return. If not I guess we just see what we got and hope he stays healthy and we can see what we got in him and make a good decision about re-signing him.
I implied that he sucked in the playoffs as well, which is a fact.
You tried to make a strawman argument with me and make what I said look silly by saying I was defining him by that. I did not define him by that. I think Hood will be a solid player if healthy. That is a big if though. It is hard to predict what he will do next season before our roster is set. If the roster is about the same I expect Hood to average 16-17 points per game and shoot about .400 from three.
I see no chance of him being the most improved player in the league unless he becomes the focal point of our offense, which means Hayward is gone. But maybe with just Hill gone he will get more looks and get to 18 ppg, depending on who the replacement PG is.
Gobert jumped up his scoring quite a bit and got no consideration. Hood would have to jump up to 19.5 points per game to make a similar scoring jump to what Gobert did. Although Gobert became a monster all over the court and again got almost no consideration.

The best case scenario is definitely a breakout season and then figure it out from there.

do you know what a strawman argument is? It doesn't seem like you do.
You made an argument against something you made up as my argument to make your argument look stronger.
