INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Rodney Hood would like to re-introduce himself to Cleveland.
Why? Because he plans on staying here a while.
Hood accepted the Cavs' one-year, $3.4 million qualifying offer on Sept. 9, following a summer of not getting the money he wanted in a contract from either Cleveland or the eight teams he said expressed interest.
All of that followed a disastrous 2018 playoff run for Hood personally, who plummeted from coach Tyronn Lue's starting lineup to out of the rotation all together while the Cavs made it to the Finals -- which probably did damage to Hood's market value.
