Rodney Hood Refuses to Enter Game in Garbage Time

Rodney believes he’s a starter, he’s not, and he believes obviously he shouldn’t be a garbage time guy. Rodney has gotten in his own way. I like the guy, I feel bad for him, but you get what you give. The list of guys who thought the grass would be greener on the other side and it turned out not being that way is long when it comes to this franchise.
 
Wow. What a fall from grace for Hood. He's not helping himself at all. Good decision by DL to move on from him and at least get something in return when he did. I doubted how prudent that decision was, but like with most things it seems like DL has had much better information and judgement... And Hood was set to make 50-60M... I have no idea who would give him that money now.
 
In Hood defense, the Cavs with Lebron would be one of the toughest places to find your grove.

No training
No structure
No role

Regardless he'll probably lose $8-10M/yr on what Utah offered in his extension talks.
 
I think the contract year is really messing with him... dude seems so anxious. I feel bad for him... someone should take a chance on him. The skills are still there just the financial pressure is really affecting him imo.

I think he may still get the MLE.

Players have looked much worse playing along LBJ this year. Not sure if it’s coaching, ball watching, or just them not being good.

I had hoped this stint had humbled him and maybe we sign him to a bargain deal as our sixth man... it’s clear he’s not yet sufficiently humble.

He’s gone from around 15M a year - to surely at least the mid level - to maybe the mid level- to hopefully the mid level but maybe a one year make good deal.

Rough year... hopefully he looks in the mirror.

I wonder if he has some sort of mental health problem. To me, Rodneys problem has always been between the ears.
