Where Does Hood End Up?

[Ron Mexico]

Here's your 2018-2019 contender:

Exum / Neto
Mitchell / Ingles
Kawhi / Thabo
Mirotic / Jerebko
Gobert / Udoh

One can only dream. That is an incredible lineup. I think we could compete assuming Exum is healthy playing good defense again and can shoot even a decent percentage from three. If Exum is playing well then we would be incredible. 0 chance of it but wow that would be great. The defense would be amazing.

Time to trade for him, before he plays well and shows he is healthy.

So now im torn...trade for Bender or just hope the jazz draft. Džanan Musa

 

[Gameface]

sociopathic? lol wow

 

[infection]

Yeah, Leonard straight up isn't getting traded (and we're not the team with the assets to pull it off anyway).

If only we still had George Hill to send back to San Antonio. Or if we had a time machine and helped KOC make the obvious choice.

Can you imagine Rodney and Jabbari both on the jazz?

The training staff overtime budget would have to be increased.

Bender is also a great tank move.

All of this assumes Phoenix is ready ENOUGH to trade him for a much more productive player that's not as young and is coming up on RFA. I'd say there is potential for both sides to look like fools longterm, which says to me that it's worth looking into (a bit of a silly idea, I know).

Juan Hernangomez is the odd man out with the glut of PFs in Denver. I wonder if they would move him for cheap. I would give them a 2nd for him. I am not sure what the trade would be for him. There is not much they would want from us and visa versa. I guess Barton would be nice but he is a UFA and I doubt they want to give him up right now.

I don't think it's a silly idea.. I just can't really see "it" in Bender. I don't know I haven't seen a lot of him though.

I'd imagine they'd like to attach Hernangomez to a deal to get off money next year, like Faried or Chandler.

EDIT: If they were to move him I mean.

 

[LoPo]

Why.

I'm not that high on Bender. Hood is a proven starter in the NBA. Rubio is too. Dudley does not do anything for us that O'Neal, Ingles and Thabo will provide next year. I would rather have the savings of Monroe than Dudley.

I agree and I would be interested. Really like him... the mono thing screwed up his year. Might be able to get him for taking on the Arthur deal too... and they do need to get off of some money.
