Where Does Hood End Up?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

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.

Nothing you said was true.

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


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.

If you take Kennard I'd imagine (for one I dont think they would, but if they did...) you'd have to take back one of their less favorable contracts, like Leueur or Galloway. They aren't going to give up 3 years at the rookie scale on their most recent draft pick.

Jazz want a first round pick for hood.

We don't know that. Detroit is in win now mode. If they think Hood is the answer to win more now than Kennard will the next two years, you go with Hood. They don't have as much time to wait for development.

I would tend to agree there... I kind of like Galloway... hell no to Leuer. I think they stretch him this offseason.

If we can't find absolutely anything else I guess I'd do Stanley Johnson and a couple seconds... I hope we aren't that desperate to move on from Hood though.

They were able to do the Blake deal because the owner was probably behind it. It was "win now" as much as it was a business decision to try and sell tickets.

Hood isnt going to sell tickets. It's only going to cost you a lot of money next year and you are giving up your last remaining sort of high level asset to do so.

Once again, we don't know how much Hood is going to cost. With the lack of sellers, there is a chance that Detroit keeps Hood for a bargain. Hood is currently making around $2.5 per year. Considering his injury history, he might panic and accept some $10 million a year deal. Well, Hood at $10 per year would be a bargain for a guy who can spread the floor for Drummond and Griffen.

Kennard is still an unproven. Detroit wants to win now.

If Chicago has enough interest to be named as a top 3 team interested in Hood, then Hood has enough buyers in the free agent market to get overpaid to the point of not being affordable for the Pistons.

True. Hypothetically, Detroit could trade Kennard for Hood then Chicago signs Hood to an offer sheet this summer. And that offer sheet could be more than Detroit wants to pay.

HOWEVER, getting Hood right now for Kennard allows for Detroit to set their own value for Hood. They get to see if he fits well with Blake and Drummond. We all know he is ready to contribute more right now than Kennard. So Detroit gets the benefit of this season and the ability to match any offer.

And your hypothetical is all based on Chicago wanting and offering more than what Detroit is willing to pay. If Hood fits and fits right now, the price might not matter. It's not like Detroit is signing a great player in free agency or drafting a great player considering their draft history.

Yes, the team who has one of the worst attendance numbers in the NBA doesnt care about paying tens of millions in luxury tax for a middling playoff team.

If Hood & our 2nd round pick would've been enough to get Mirotic and we didn't do it--that would make me very disappointed.
