According to cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon, Cleveland Cavaliers restricted free agent Rodney Hood may have held contract discussions with the Houston Rockets.
“There’s been reports of some discussions between the Kings and Rodney, and maybe the Rockets and Rodney…”
The Sacramento Kings’ interest in Hood has been long known and, after the Kings missed out on Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach Lavine in free agency, Hood now seems to be their top target. The Rockets’ interest in Hood, however, comes as a surprise.
For the un-indoctrinated, the Rockets — led by 2017-2018 MVP James Harden and future Hall-of-Famer Chris Paul — finished last season with the league’s top record (65-17).
