Rodney Hood a blazer long term?

Rodney is a keeper

Yep, he is staying. He has a player option. After that injury he won't find better

the question as mentioned in the article has more to do with a possible extension than whether or not he’s going to be here next year.

I don't see the Blazers extending him until they see how he returns from injury. Those achilles are no joke.

I could see him getting a 2 year extension with a team option second year...

I think that alone will probably make him a bench player for the rest of his career...if we keep Ariza, starting, Rodney goes back to being a 6 man

 

[Scalma]

I think an extension would be smart for both sides. Portland assumes the risk of an Achilles injury and locks up hood at a bargain, and hood sacrifices aav for long term security.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Just when he was playing at his best, this goes and happens. I so wish that he could be the same player he was this past year before his injury but it’s just not going to happen.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

I wouldn't extend him at any price. Very possible his career is over. When he contributes above a minimum salary player then you extend him.

Look at Wes, Brand, Jennings, Kobe... these guys had huge declines, and all were vastly superior to Hood before injury. The injury may put Hood out of the league.

There's just about no upside to Blazers extending him.

2 year extension along the same lines for money.

Pretty funny reading through these posts and how negative some posters were with acquiring Hood.

Hood, being a tall jump shooter, seems like he may adapt to the injury better than some

 

[Tince]

While totally illegal, I would not be surprised if there was a wink wink agreement when he signed his deal last summer that we would make up for the discount in a future deal. Obviously I have zero proof of that.

Yea definitely but before the injury he was. Achilles ruptures always kill players. Unless your Dominique Wilkins of course. But that’s rare

Thank you. He’s done. He might be still somewhat serviceable but I doubt he’ll ever be the same. Hood has always had consistency issues then found a nice role with us but I’m sure this Achilles injury will do him in

How does the loss of revenue this year affect contracts in coming years?

There's all kinds of uncertainty everywhere in our economy. I'm waffling on re-upping my warehouse lease, or seeing if I can get a better deal elsewhere.

If I were coming off an Achilles injury, I'd absolutely take the sure thing.

What if they had promised him an extension as incentive to sign that deal? Are they now morally obligated to do it?

Well, they were "morally obligated" not to make such a promise in the first place seeing that it would violate the CBA, so if they did in fact make such a promise, I imagine that moral obligation is not high on their list of concerns.

It is a great deal for Hood to personally lock up long term money he can.

Conversely, I'd say it is a bad deal for the Blazers to commit additional money to him.

My opinion is all the fans here that want to lock him up are being emotional and sentimental; while disregarding risk-reward benefit.

Off topic; business I work for is asking for rent abatement where we are a long term lessee and landlords are very open to modifications. Where we own buildings we are getting loans restructured, lower interest and no principle payments for many months.

Some version of that probably happened. It was theorized on here after he took that bargain of a contract last summer. Idk about morally obligated, but it still makes sense. They’ll even get him for less.

 

[damianlillard]

I would love for Hood to come back. Although it will be hard for him to come back to where he was playing at before his injuries I think we should have him play in a Ray Allen/Kyle korver/Reddick role off the bench. Have him primarily focus on shooting 3s in the corner and around screens. I honestly do not like the idea of him starting over Ariza. Ariza need to play next to the starters more than Hood does. And Ariza defense is so much better. They should split minutes evenly though as Ariza is aging

I think your probably right. I mean christ, just look at your handle. Fan favorite wings with ankle problems are kind of a thing we've experienced before.

I asked the owners of the place we leased (he's new) and he said no deal.

My lease expires at the end of the month, and I don't want to deal with moving. Aren't many options right now. So I'm re-upping.

But fuck that asshole. I've been in that spot for 10 years. Prick raised my rent and wanted a 2 year lease.

Eh, anyway, the new lease may be a real bargain in 6 months if inflation starts flying through the roof. I've almost always felt the threat of inflation is overblown in years past, but jesus the government is going to have to print a LOT of money to get us out of this mess.

I honestly don't remember many people being negative about acquiring him. I think some were worried about him having some of the same flaws as C.J. (not that efficient, inconsistent outside shooter, mediocre defender, a bit of a ball stopper) and wondering how that'd fit, while also hoping he'd improve on those flaws. I'm pretty confident now in saying that he improved on all of them.

Did you read this thread from the beginning? If Hood was as good as McCollum we would be in even better shape also.

We didn't pay any April 1st rent. A few weeks later landlord became very talkitive and very open to modifications. If you are paying on time I don't think that happens.

Now if you have lease in your personal name I wouldn't want to risk dinging credit.

Look i understand people are dealing with issues. But landlords are not getting breaks from paying their mortgages. If they do get a break they will have to make it up eventually. Opening up dialogue and still paying on time can happen.

My uncle who owns a few houses in the Denver area said his mortgage company is giving him the option to postpone payment of April and May to the back end of his mortgage. So if his mortgage term ended in December of 2020 then he'd pay April and May of 2020 in January and February of 2021.

So that allows him to let his renters not pay for those months.
