Teams can buy a second round pick for much less than 11M and that is just real dollars not cap space.

Teams are going to need to dump space during FA and it will cost more than a second rounder to move 11.5M.

AB isn’t good... a team could convince themselves they could fix him but he isn’t that young that there is a lot of upside.

You might be able to get Marco and Muscala for AB and a second... but muscala has a 5M P.O. that he likely exercises.
 
Apologies if discussed before:

A podcast I was listening to yesterday (not sure which, maybe Ringer w/ KOC), mentioned that one reason we may be seeing RFA names being shopped at the deadline is less because their teams actually want to trade, and more because they want better estimates of what the summer FA landscape might look like (Aaron Gordon was particularly named).

My guess is this doesn't apply to Rodney, but if DL can't find anything he likes for Rodney, I suppose this is a side-effect of apparently openly shopping him.

I disagree. Keep Hood... he may get a much lower offer than anticipated. There is enough noise about FA money drying up its worth the gamble unless someone comes with a good trade.

Replace ABs minutes with Hood and we are better.

I see where you're coming from. His 30 point game last night awesome, don't get me wrong. I just wish he was more consistent. I don't know if Rodney even likes it here or not. I personally believe if he doesn't mesh well with Mitchell, Gobert and company soon,(like next year or so) then we should dump him. It will be a fun rest of the season though!
 
I think Rodney Hood is a 20 point per game 6th man with upside. With a new contract and a defined role, I think he’s going to be very, very good next year. Just not sure what the number value is on that.

Ya me too. The issue is efficiency. If he is taking 20 shots to get those 20 points, not getting to the line, not getting assists, not getting rebounds, and not playing good defense while making over 15 million per year then his 20 points are garbage.

Yep. I think Hood is an ideal release-valve option to space the floor and make a play late in the shot clock. The Jazz should just keep him under team control and kick the can down the road.
 
I know the guy can score, but here are my questions about Hood:

- does he play good enough defense to stay on the floor in the playoffs?
- can he stay healthy enough to rationalize a $15+ per year deal?
- will he facilitate the offense enough to keep us ticking?
- is he okay coming off the bench for probably the whole contract?

IF the answer to all those is yes, then we need to keep him
