During his tenure with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the price of Rodney Hood stock drastically dropped. So much so that the Portland Trail Blazers managed to trade two non-rotation players for him. So much so that The Ringer released a video in April titled “The NBA Fans Support Group: When Believing in a Player Goes Wrong,” which led in with Chris Ryan not being able to shake his support for Hood.
Hood’s stock plummet ended during his brief stint with the Blazers last year. A strong showing in the Western Conference Semifinals, as well as a rejuvenated passion for the game and a guaranteed starting spot for Portland in the upcoming season, led to a modest increase in its price.
