4. Rodney Hood, Cleveland Cavaliers

Rodney Hood isn’t typically thought of as a 3-point archer, and it’s not hard to understand why. His 36 percent shooting from beyond the arc hovers just below the league average, and his 36.8 percent shooting from deep for his career is simply above-average.

However, considering he’s taken 4.8 attempts per game during his four and a half years in the league, it’s a shot he’s comfortable with. Currently wasting away on the worst team in the league, it’d be no surprise for the Cleveland Cavaliers to start listening to offers as Feb. 7 inches closer.

According to The Athletic‘s Shams Charania, Hood is already garnering interest from a few teams. His no-trade clause could complicate matters, but more than likely, a trade to any playoff team — Charania specifically mentioned the New Orleans Pelicans, Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City Thunder as teams looking for wing help — would sit just fine with him.

His $3.5 million salary is incredibly easy to move, and he’s got more to offer a playoff team than standstill shooting, averaging 12.4 points per game. Don’t be surprised to see teams start circling the wagons for Hood soon.
