World News – USA – Rodney Hood returns to the Trail Blazers with a new deal

Rodney Hood returns to the Trail Blazers with a new deal originally posted on NBC Sports Northwest

It was only three days ago that Trail Blazer’s veteran wing Rodney Hood turned down his player option and became a free agent.

But now Hood will get more money and stay with the team he made a home with.

The Trail Blazer and Hood have reportedly agreed on a two-year contract for $ 21 million with a player option next season, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Hood was set to 6. 03 million the next season he had not turned down his player option for this year.

Now he’s getting around 10. 5 million and with that he will see a 57% raise.

Back in April, during Hood’s Achilles rehab process, he discussed the plan to stay with the Trail Blazers.

All I know is that I’ll be wearing a Portland Trail Blazer uniform next year. As for the contract, it will evolve on its own in due course, but I expect to be wearing a Portland Trail Blazer uniform next year. I want to be here in Portland again.

Now that Hood has had nearly a year to rehabilitate himself from his torn left Achilles, the Trail Blazers will try to get the 28-year-old back on the field and continue to contribute on both ends.

In his shortened season last year, Hood averaged 11. 0 points and 3. 4 rebounds only played 21 games.

And since the Blazer Hoods restored bird rights, they’re still sticking to their 9. 3 million mid-level exception, as ESPN’s Bobby Marks explains:

Now with Hood and the new additions from Robert Covington and Enes Kater, the blazers still have their MLE and BAE to further strengthen their roster.

The Lakers reportedly got a lot better on the wing early on in the free hand, but that might allow the Warriors to do the same.
