Hood: This is a Place I Want to Stay

[e_blazer]

I'm rooting for the Blazers to find a way to keep Rodney Hood after this season. Sounds like the feeling is mutual:

Love it. Dame Culture is a real thing.

Maybe we can actually turn the corner on the FA market with articles like this?

Make it world news! Even Sir Charles picks us to "make it out of the West"

Curry would be my priority to keep then Kanter.. Hood really hasn’t been that noticeable lately. He started off nice for us then sorta slowly disappearing since.

I’m glad he’s liking it here and it shows how the organization is well liked but I wouldn’t care one bit if he didn’t come back

Wow, really?

Hood is a talented ball player that actually gives us height at one of the guard positions.

I would be very sad if we couldn't find a way to keep him. It's a sweet icing on the cake that he wants to stay.

I agree. Out of the 3 FA, Hood is the one that is the lowest priority. Curry -> Kanter -> Hood

I don't think I'd offer him more than the $3.5M (or what ever his current salary * 120% is). Most definitely would not use the Tax MLE to keep him around. I think we can get a better player for that money.

It would be awesome if they could keep all 3, let alone 1

Barkley is buying the team from Jody Allen and moving the franchise to Alabama?

Unless Evan Turner invites Meyers Leonard over to his house for a swim party and a truck happens to fall off of the cliff above and into the pool at exactly the right time, that's not happening.

This reminds me of 2016 when everyone wanted to keep our overachieving team together and we overpaid for Moe and Nards. I think Curry is the priority, having 3 guards who drain 3s is game changing. I think Skal/Zach/Cheap FA can hold down the fort at Center for 3/4 of a season until Nurk comes back so I wouldn’t overpay for Kanter, even if we could. Hood is streaky but seems to be a good teammate, I wouldn’t mind him back but I don’t think it would be impossible to replace him either.

Curry didnt look good at first either. Keep in mind one guy has had 82 games to figure the team out. Another has had 30 something games.

LaMarcus Aldridge says really wants to come back.

 

[Jade Falcon]

SIGN HIM OLSHEY!!!

 

[Natebishop3]

There's just really not any money. I think maybe we could sign Hood for the MLE, but Kanter is gone for sure and I'm not sure about Curry.

I'd say Curry is gone for sure and I'm not sure about Kanter.

These three have been huge for us. If we want to keep that success, then we either need to find a way to resign them, or find someone of equal skill who wants to play here. But money would still be a problem there too.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Turner has to go to make room.

 

[Natebishop3]

Kanter is going to command more than $5 million per year. Maybe double that. He's not going to take our MLE.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Hood/curry can do what turner does but better. Ive liked what ive seen of hoods post game when he has posted up.

And unfortunately it's Turner that we have under contract next season.

Curry is a more sought after commodity in todays nba though. Who do you think okc would rather have? Kanter or curry?

We need to attach a pick and trade him to a team with cap space. Hello chicago.

 

[Blazers Roy]

Would you trade Turner+ our 1st to a salary dump team? if it means we can keep those 3 then we should do it.
(I didn't check if it's realistic or not in terms of numbers).

 

[Blazers Roy]

lol Orion we wrote the same thing...

We should absolutely do it.

This. Play Layman in Turner's place. Or one of our new bloods.

 

[Blazers Roy]

What if we could get the NEXT Anfernee Simons dough?!

 

[julius]

He just has to go period.

Only so many roster spots and we already have one.

I know a guy who went OFF from 3 in the last game of the regular season…
