Cause he only averages 2-3 rebounds per game. And we can probably get the same production out of J Jackson.
Vlade should trade target a SF that can defend the toughest wing, rebound solidly and stretch the floor.
I think the backup PG spot is where they should add some scoring. Napier is still out there.

Please back up your hyperbole with real stats and facts. Hood was averaging 17ppg for the Jazz for 3 years.
Hood would also be the best perimeter defender on the Kings. That’s based on pure stats.
Mentioning Jackson as a starter is comical. Because he had a couple decent scoring games in a Summer League. He Sucks. He wouldn’t be a third option on a decent team. He will be out of the league within a couple years.
Jackson will Never, Ever come close to averaging 17ppg for a whole season.
Hood is not amazing. But, he would be the Best SF the Kings have had in a decade. Including, Rudy Gay.
Signing a young prospect to battle Jackson for the starting spot makes zero sense.
Since the Kings are so great at developing these types of players. Spurs, Dubs, yes. Kings, not so much.
Are we looking at the same Rodney Hood? Funny how the playoffs start and Rodney forgot his big boy pants. And no not just with the Cav's. Numbers don't lie.

Smart doesn't back down and doesn't need to score to impact a game. Give me that guy 10 times out of 10.

This table shows Rodney Hood's on/off stats. The big number is the percentile he's in for each stat. You guys see a trend in there? He's getting progressively worse.
If I told you that Hood was going to show up and score 17ppg with 39% from three, most everyone would be happy. That's what he put up in half a season with Utah this last year. Those numbers got him a -8.9 on/off which put him in the 13th percentile in the league.

Jabari parker - not good
https://cleaningtheglass.com/stats/player/2834/onoff
Marcus Smart - better

Buddy Hield - MVP!!!

Ok so obviously the stats can be swayed by whether you start or not and they can be swayed by the other guys you play with but it's pretty telling to me when many of these "big numbers" guys people want seem to have their teams all get better once they leave the floor. If we were trying to pick guys like that up for the bench, it would be alright. But if we are picking them up to start or play a lot of minutes, those numbers aren't going to change a whole lot.
The stats are more effective for Smart, Parker and Hood because they all played for decent to playoff teams. Hield's numbers are over inflated because the Kings starters were so bad most the time that the only place to go from there was up. Smart, Parker and Hood played in good rotations so their numbers are a bit more accurate as far as determining their value on the court.

This is one of the most logical posts in terms of offers. If we are (actually) interested offer a similar deal to A. Bradley, bit aim maybe for a longer term such as 3 yrs.
Players really like to say look, so-n-so got so much money, thats how much I want. Look at Capela, he's like S. Adams got 100 mil.

While I'm dredging the dregs of leftover FA, how going after another Jabari, and also a Celtic Bird... Jabari Bird. RFA who the Celts probably can't afford to resign. Especially if they resign Smart.
Having a nice summer league and showed flashes last season with the Celts. But he's behind Smart, Rozier, Tatum, Brown, Hayward... etc etc etc.
OK, I'm gonna take a break from this now.
