    No one expects him to have such a high usage rate.

    We expect him to hit open threes, play defense, and show and go to the rack.

    Why would we expect him to have a higher usage rate than the guy he's replacing?

    Yeah and I think the Woj line about Hood was the first clue. And good for Hood. He deserves to get paid. I think we’ll be ok too. I think Simons is a more dynamic scorer than Curry was, so we may not need another bucket getter like Hood as much. But man, we’re putting a lot on Simons shoulders. They must feel real confident in him.

    I think the point was that since his usage rate here will be significantly less than it was in Atlanta, his production will be as well.

    I never even said he would have an high usage rate.

    I simply said, he won't have as high of a usage rate than he has had so far in his career, so his raw numbers will suffer. It's a simple observation. You don't even disagree so I don't understand what the problem is here.

    Maybe it's just me, but I wasn't all that impressed with Hood.

    His 10.9 PER agrees with you, but he did step up in the playoffs so that’s probably inflated his value and the perception. I wanted him back, but that’s because there weren’t really better options to fill his role on the market. Bazemore is a fine replacement.

    Don't disagree there. It's just when I look at a player, I look at the whole year. Not just a couple games.

    See: Meyers.

    I wonder if maybe you need to try a different font or something. Somehow every (completely reasonable) thing you post today is getting (inexplicably) misconstrued by someone (myself included).

    Yeah they are both meh imo, I think the reaction shows just how tired of ET the Blazer fanbase was.

    Hood was a solid player with the Jazz, so I wouldn’t say it was a couple games.

    I would sign a veteran PG and put Simons at SG. I would not trust Simons to run the offense at this point.

    ET is a class act...great locker room leader...awesome dude! Wish him great success in Atlanta...that team is going to be really good! He'll be a great influence on all their young rookies which I'm sure was a big selling point from our side! I like ET! He just didn't fit here that well. I think he's happy to play in a different system for his skill set.....he hates the 3pt shot

    Crabbe and Turner on the Hawks for one more year. There has to be a way we can trade them Meyers so they have a complete set of scrubs.
