Where Does Hood End Up?

Where Does Hood End Up?

Bulls are so bad I gotta think they're reluctant to part with a first in any deal. Plus, not sure DL would be enticed to part with Hood for a 1st-round pick that will probably be lotto protected for at least 2-3 years. Could be wrong, though.

It's laughable that Chicago wants Hood and here we may even let him walk.

I really doubt the Jazz would let him walk, but it has to be scary that a team like Chicago is showing interest enough to be mentioned in a top 3. They are one of the teams with cap-space to offer him a contract above 12 million.
 
With interest being tepid (as it kind of seems) I'd just keep him. His FA market will look a lot like the trade market does. I always thought 4/60 was kind of his floor, but it may very well be 4/40ish. We can use him off the bench and still play him starter like minutes.

If you got him on a 4/40-50ish deal he's a great trade asset... didn't see it as possible, but the FA market seems to be more barren than I thought initially and he has not lit the world on fire.

If the Jazz can get a decent return I'd like Hood to go to OKC I'm rooting for them to make a splash in the playoffs.

And that's the last place the Jazz should want to trade him. If PG ****s OKC and leaves, you dont want them having the option of that insurance policy.
 
Honestly, would you trade Hood and Burks for Jabari Parker right now? I would.... Think about it for second:

- The Bucks offered Jabari $18 million per year for just 3 years and he said no and chose to take his busted knee into RFA.
- What happens if the Bucks don't budge on that? Parker wants more or if he wants more than 3 years?
- If we offered Parker $25 per year for 4 years the first day of free agency, would the Bucks match considering having to re-sign Middleton, Brogdon, Bledsoe and others soon? Many reports say they might not match.

So, if we were to trade Hood and Burks to Chicago for expirings and their 2nd rounder (projected top 35-38), it could mean that we are able to enter the Parker sweepstakes. Shedding Burks could lead us to Parker contention.

Do I think Parker is our missing piece? No. Do I think he's worth the gamble over bringing back Hood and paying Burks next year? Absolutely.

I don't know how many times I can say this, but what's our game plan here? We valued Hood > Mirotic, we will likely retain Hood through the deadline, but then not match if he gets a higher offer from a team like Chicago. I don't get it.

It might be really nice to have that down the line when money starts becoming an issue. I'm all for any future firsts, personally. As long as they don't default to second rounders I would be in.

This isn't true... Tony Jones mentioned Bulls wanted a pick more than Hood, so that was on their end not ours.

It just sucks cause the 3 main interested teams in Hood arent really in a position to deal their picks.

Detroit and OKC both wont be able their 2019 pick.

Bulls have two first round picks, but why would they deal one of them to us when they could have just take Hood and expiring filler for Mirotic instead of taking on Asik? If they dealt to us, it would be a future 1st and I'm not interested in ANY of their players (beyond the untouchable Lauri).

I do like Detroit 3 wing players, Kennard/Bullock/Johnson, to varying levels.

OKC has Abrines, who I dont really like, but he can at least replace Hood's shooting.

So to me, with limited information, the best trades from those 3 teams would be centered around Reggie Bullock or Alex Abrines, and you hope you can talk them into future first instead of 2nd rounders.

I'd do Kennard for Hood straight up... enough years on the cheap deal to make that work. Not sure they'd do that.

Abrines is meh... I'm only doing T-Ferg if OKC wants Hood.

Outside of a Bulls deal where we dump AB I'm not sure they have anything they would offer that we would be interested in.

If these are the options I would think we'd do well to just keep him. He might have more value in a sign and trade this offseason than this garbage.

I would also think Hood plus some salary relief or plus our second round pick would get us a late first rounder.
 
I would think if the return was really this bad that you could call Philly and say your second round pick you have from BKN this year and Korkmaz for Hood and they'd do it all day.

I'd take that over this poop.
