A team source said Hood, 25, remained in the team’s plans — a strong indication the team would match an offer he gets elsewhere. They could also use the aforementioned mid-level exception to sign him. In the past two days, restricted free agents Marcus Smart (four-year, $52 million with Boston) and Montrezl Harrell (two years, $12 million with the Clippers) signed new deals with their old teams.
