Portland agrees to deal with Cleveland for Rodney Hood

The Portland Trail Blazers agreed to a trade to acquire Cleveland Cavaliers forward Rodney Hood on Sunday, league sources tell ESPN.

The Blazers will send the Cavaliers a second-round pick in 2021 and 2023 along with the expiring contracts of guards Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin, sources said.

Hood had to agree to the trade, because his signing of a one-year, $3.4M qualifying offer last summer with Cleveland granted him veto rights. He'll lose his Bird Rights in summer free agency, but his enthusiasm for joining the Blazers on a playoff push allowed for his approval of the deal, league sources said.
