Warriors Trade Rumors: 3 players the Warriors are targeting ahead of the trade deadline

#2 Rodney Hood

Golden State Warriors v Cleveland Cavaliers

Rodney Hood has been one of the Cavaliers' best performers this season, although the 26-year-old will become a free agent this summer. Due to this, Sam Amico is reporting that a number of teams are interested in acquiring Hood, and the Warriors are among the interested parties:

Hood’s cap-friendly contract of around $3.4 million also expires at season’s end. It should be noted, though, that Hood is playing on a qualifying offer and can, therefore, veto a trade.The Los Angeles Clippers are at least one team keeping an eye on Hood. I’ve recently heard of interest from the Pelicans, Sacramento Kings, Toronto Raptors and, yes, Golden State Warriors, too.

Hood has played 44 times for the Cavs this season, averaging 12.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Hood is unlikely to veto a trade to a team that are the overwhelming favourites to win another Championship this season, and shooting guard could be a good fit until at least the summer.
