I think we need to pull the bandaid now. We are heading for a catastrophic path to the deadline.

Trade JoeJ and Hood to Cleveland for Frye, Osman and their pick (not the Brooklyn pick). Yes, we only get Osman and a late first for Hood but we move on.

Then trade Favors and Burks to Atlanta for expirings.

Just clean house, pick up Osman, get a late 1st, and open up cap room for summer we can play with.

This is just terrible. For one, Hood doesn't move the needle for the Cavs. They need defense all around but especially on the back end. They have shooters, they have creators, they have PNR players.

Secondly, no reason for Atlanta to do that. Seriously taking Burks contract for Favors bird rights? They can use their cap space for a much better salary dump if desired.

Third, seems like probably the worst case scenario package for the Jazz for Favors and Hood no? Why do we need cap room for the summer to play with? To offer glass knees Jabari a max contract?
 
I may be on an island here but I think there's a lot more value in KEEPING Hood than others may think. Let's say between Hood and Dante you get them signed for total 20-25 million, you could still strike in 2019 FA assuming Jazz don't take any guaranteed 2019 money on via trade or 2018 FA.
 
I think Hood is going to sign an offer sheet from another team that is larger than most people think this offseason. I don't think he's worth to the Jazz nearly what he's going to get paid.

#1 - if you don't think Cleveland would want Rodney, you dont know basketball. He is an improvement over most of their bench and a guy they can re-sign should LBJ leave.

#2 - Atlanta is on record saying they would trade expirings for a 2nd rounder and value. So we add our 2nd.

#3 - if you don't understand how cap space can help, poor you.

I think completely opposite. Very few teams with space and lots of wing FAs

Somebody doesn't watch the Cavs.

So they're taking on 11 million next year for Favors bird rights and a 2nd?

Oh I'm fully aware of how cap space works. You just have no plan of what to do with that cap space that's the problem. Your idea literally the other day was to DUMP Burks (bad salary) just to take ON bad salary.
 
So you are saying that Hood doesn't help the Cavs? Hell, he probably starts for them. JR has been terrible.

Yes, they take on Burks because the Hawks want Favors and a 2nd. Burks has lost Quin's confidence not everybody else's too. He is low risk high reward for a team that isnt a free agent hot spot.

I suggested we dump Burks, take back a worse salary AND pick up an asset. You left out that convenient nugget of course.

We either clear space without using future assets OR take a bad contract to get a good asset.

Looking at our cap projections... I am not sure if we really want to get into FA this year, but if we do... moving Rodney allows for that to happen. I know his cap hold is low, but the second he signs an offer sheet that is his new cap hold.

If we move Rodney without long-term money we can actually get $20-25M in space to work with by moving Ricky or AB for 5-7M less in salary and waiving all the unguaranteed guys. But what it really does is makes us taking on salary to get a young player or draft pick possible. Signing Rod and either taking on salary or using the full MLE would put us as a tax team or very close to it.

I still think 2019 makes more sense to be FA players, but if you can get a first for Rod and sign Will Barton or someone like that with the MLE I don't think we are worse off... I think Rod gets $15-20M a year and is no longer a good value and likely in over his head in the role we'd have for him.

Moving Hood creates some good options for us... get value for him and move forward.
 
Sure wish the Jazz didn't have Rubio and had back OKC's 1st round pick. They'd be armed right now to be able to make a great deal. A lot of teams are seeking additional first round picks and there's not many to be had.

2019 is definitely the year to hit FA. Opening up 2018 FA space makes no sense when 2019 looks to be wide open for the Jazz.
