Rodney Hood a Blazer

Boston can't acquire AD until the summer, when Jimmy Butler will be a free agent.

 

Has Harkless or Layman ever scored 30 in a game?

 

We didn't really trade away any assets that we would use for an Otto Porter Jr. trade.

 

Yeah. Exactly my point.

I can’t see acquiring both, though. I still feel like this move was made as a precursor to balance the roster out. I guess we have 4 days to find out! It’ll be more exciting than this Super Bowel!

 

I don't understand. Precursor to balancing the roster?

I think this trade makes it more likely that we make another trade. We have 6 bench players deserving of minutes now (Seth, Rodney, ET, Jake, Zach, Meyers). I think means it's more likely we're going to consolidate two rotation players for one to clear minutes for Hood.

 

Yes, i know and have felt all along that he likely won't be dealt till the off season unless they get an offer that blows them away.

 

I pray he isn't traded. It will push Laker fans off to no end.

 

Yeah. Exactly. A “precursor” before another move. We’re in agreement.

 

Dedication? I'll bet you've been aching to make a video like this for months.

Ah I was confused because you said you couldn't see us acquiring both but you think it's a precursor before another move, which that would be.

 

Yeah. I mean, I can’t see us getting Porter AND Hood, but the move seems to me like we went for the cheaper Hood, and will now follow up with another deal to balance the roster.

 

I'm just catching up on all of this. This trade didn't move my needle to a crazy degree, but it's still a solid addition for the rest of the season. Hood, while no Messiah, can be a contributing factor for us, whilst Baldwin and Steaksauce were not. The 2nd round picks are meh. You want to keep as many assets as you can, but, it's not hard to pick up a couple of 2nd round picks at a later date, if you need one.

 

This reminds me of the Afflalo trade, although I doubt we gave up someone of Barton's quality here. Same purpose behind the trade though: Bring in experienced wing help for the playoffs with a goal of hoping to make a bump up into the next round of the playoffs at least.

 

More important info:
Wade and Sauce are ending contracts, so if we decided we wanted either of them back, we'll have an opportunity this coming offseason.

Also, a great deal for Cleveland. They traded an expiring for 2 expirings + 2 2nd rounders.

 

Doesn’t say we offered anything though..

 

It's just taking Lowe's article and repeating it

 

Hood is 8 months removed from starting in the finals and playing a great game.

 

Haven't seen it posted earlier, but Hood has played 65% of his time at SF this year. i don't see why he can't start there for us. He's long and 6'8.

Also, we've needed a lefty shooter for a while now
