I'm going to guess Crowder becomes that stretch 4 we wanted.
How so? Hood wanted out. He wanted to be a starter and was hoping to get a big contract. While I agree that "when he plays," Hood can be a great player, he's injury and illness prone. Plus the uncertainty of what he'd be offered. While a lot of teams may not have cap room, teams like Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago and a few others will have significant cap room. And let's face it, the big stars aren't going to any of those. So big contracts (let's say in the $18m-$20m range) could very well be out there for Hood and Favors as the "next-tier down" FA's.If we don't get a pick in this deal or at least a pick swap, terrible trade.
Favors insurance? I like Crowder and think DRose gets bought out. Really hoping for some pick swap potential this year or next. I’d rather have risked getting nothing for Rodney than come out of this with just Jae Crowder tbh.So Jae is our stretch 4, right?
