Hornets Meet With Rodney Hood


Recommended Posts

Steve Kyler: OKC, Bobcats, Cavs and Lakers among teams that met with Rodney Hood Twitter @stevekylerNBA

I know a lot of people are interested in the Hornets taking Hood or Hairston with their first round pick and it seems as though the team is doing their due dilignece.

Last year Hood averaged 16.1 points per game (on 46% shooting), 3.9 rebounds per game, 2.1 assists per game, and shot a very impressive 42% from behind the arc. Hood had a career high 30 points against ECU last year on 8-10 shooting (80%) a long with shooting a perfect 12-12 from the free throw line.

DraftExpress currently has Rodney Hood going 22nd overall to the Memphis Grizzlies (two picks before the Charlotte Hornets).

Update from Bonnell

Rick Bonnell: I'm told Bobcats met with Duke's Rodney Hood last night, so they're obviously planning for possibility they get Detroit's pick.

Rick Bonnell: I get the sense from Duke's Rodney Hood there's a lot of mutual interest between him and the Bobcats. Bobcats met with Hood last night. He said they stuck out as being particularly knowledgeable about his game. Bobcats front office talked to Hood about how much more effective he was when he earned trips to the foul line. That's a big Clifford thing.

hell no another kemba

 

I don't know if this is a troll post or not. They are nothing alike and Hood has 7 inches on Kemba. 

 

the duke "system" obviously cost Hood some money this year but once he gets with a coach that can properly utilize him I could see him being a very solid player. Running from baseline to baseline chucking threes doesn't really highlight a player like Hood's abilities to pro scouts. I'd love the pick if he's there when we are on the clock. He'd fit a big need.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
    • I think google is confusing signing bonus with guaranteed money. If you get a guarantee of say $10 million, it doesn’t matter if the signing bonus is $5 or $8 million, it’s the $10 million number that affects the cap, as the signing bonus is always just a portion of the guaranteed money anyways. And again, I’ll admit I’m not 100% sure about it, but I’m pretty sure it is the case.
