Wasn't anyone in the world giving up a first-rounder for Hood, much less a decent player on a decent contract and a first-rounder. I think they sold low too, but they want to stay relevant, and Crowder clearly can help them do that (see his two games back since getting traded).

Hood's gonna cost 20 million this summer if he plays anything like he's capable of, even in this market. Utah knew it wasn't resigning him, so they got something rather than nothing. Don't forget Utah also got off Joe Johnson's money in that deal as well.
