Rodney Hood has been one of the Cavs most consistent performers since joining the team just over a year ago, and Shams Charania of The Athletic is reporting that the 26-year-old is currently attracting interest from around the league:

Shooting guard Rodney Hood is garnering interest from several teams, and has a no-trade clause on the one-year, $3.4 million qualifying offer he signed with the Cavaliers before the season. Teams such as New Orleans, Oklahoma City and Milwaukee have looked into wing help. For a Cavaliers team with heavy salaries throughout the roster, Hood has emerged as a targeted piece.

Hood has played 40 times for the Cavs this season, averaging 12.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Just like Burks, Hood will become a free agent this summer, so the Cavs are in a position where they need to either trade Hood now or face the prospect of losing him for free during the offseason.
