The Portland Trail Blazers have acquired Rodney Hood for Nik Stauskas, Wade Baldwin and two future second round picks.
Hood had the ability to veto trade after signing the one-year qualifying offer with the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers acquired Hood from the Utah Jazz before the 2018 trade deadline.

Yep, Hood makes the Blazers better (and longer) for this season and the playoffs. Hood should be reinvigorated as well. But assuming they lose in the first round again, they just gave up two 2rp's for a three month rental. Unless he can teach Lillard how to split a double team this move seems a little short sighted. I mean, while a slight upgrade, I don't see Hood winning them even one more game.
If POR now trades all their depth at SF for AD I'll take it all back!
