that article says Hood's contract has a team option so if picked up he's a restricted free agent next year .. that's not right ??

Are you talking about this?: "Hood is still currently on his rookie deal playing off the extensions of that contract. He will earn $2.4 million this season and has a $3.5 million fifth-year club option as well. Hood is also a restricted free agent next season as well"

He has no idea what he is talking about. Playing off an extension? He is a RFA at the end of this season, period. He seems to be confusing that with playing under a qualifying offer

I think it was KOC’s MO which carried over into DL’s first off-season. In any case, I can see him not pulling the trigger because of not liking a return, and certainly possible we let him walk if we don’t like an offer sheet he gets.

DL hasn't made any significant in-season trades (unless you count Mack). And prior to last year, when the Jazz finally went on a spending "binge" by signing JJ and trading for Fat Boris and George Hill, he constantly repeated the mantra that the Jazz wanted to maintain financial flexibility so they could be players in free agency. And then, every summer, he would lament that the players were overpriced.

I'll be surprised if anything significant happens. DL LOVES to accumulate draft picks - and then generally waste them. It's likely Utah gives away Hood and Favors for future seconds and then DL sits on his hands this summer, wanting another year of landing in the lottery to attempt a secondary rebuild under his watch, since the first essentially only netted Exum with all the losing and extra picks. Everyone else could have been acquired with Utah's own picks.

let's revisit this post in a few weeks.

@Saint Cy
Five draft picks wasted to end up with Ricky Rubio as the PG.
I said "generally" and to further qualify that, I said we could have acquired everyone but Exum with Utah's existing picks. Utah could have still made the playoffs (by signing decent FA's) and had picks in the 20's for Hood and Gobert. What effect would that have made on Hayward to be a perennial playoff team? And as the best player on the team, perhaps an all-star for a couple of seasons before last. Unless Exum turns out to be a stud, the rebuild was a fail.

Notice I also said "in-season" trades. The trade for the pick that became Mitchell was not "in-season." Maybe more careful reading before posting. To date, the ONLY in-season trade has been acquiring Mack and getting No-Neck, Pleiss and assorted junk for Kanter.

I expect and HOPE DL will make some significant moves. But his track record shows he's more concerned with having a ton of cap space for free agency - and then not using any of it, except for players he finds at the Dollar Store.
