A healthy Hood is way way better than Clarkson. The issue is he can't stay healthy. I don't mind that if he is just a 20 mpg type guy on a team. Jazz could split the MLE between him and Dunn and greatly improve the team over over-paying Clarkson.

To be fair, Jazz were working on Portis, Mirotic, and Bojan well before it was allowed. So maybe not all hope is lost.

Agree that we did work last year but I am not sure that has always been the case. DL is a lay the groundwork and wait for the phone to ring type of guy.

So they each get 4.5M? Cuz they likely getting more than that... Hood opted out of $6M. Dunn projects to get more than that too... I mean if we can get those guys to do that maybe we can get JC to take $5M a year no?

I dont think this is true about DL or any GM in the league. In fact I would say the evidence is clear the other way with DL. The fact that most make believe trades on message boards dont happen is not a reason to think GM's are sitting on their hands. He has done things that have not worked out (as does every GM) but I think he and the Jazz FO are very active.
 
I don't understand why Hood would decline his $6 million option, especially coming off of an injury. Seems like a dumb move.

He literally said that Denver called him on the DM trade. He laid the ground work and they called him. I think he's active but that he doesn't push like some do. I have my reasons to believe this is how he operates. The Conley trade hung out there forever and then fell flat on deadline day for example. We gave a fair offer and they shopped it for a week or so before declining to move him at the deadline... we had no other deal to pivot to because he waited too long.

I think it comes from him being laser focused on one player or prospect and then waiting on that one thing to work. He sold picks before and said there weren't guys they liked... he locks in early on guys... its why Locke has been able to predict picks in the past. I don't think he is the aggressor in trade deals.
