I can't wait for the crying that's going to go on tomorrow on this forum when someone awesome is available at #12....

That's good to hear. Please tell me how an all star is less valuable than a bench guy.

1) Being an all-star means jack****. It's a popularity contest.

2) Hill is a starter.

3) Regardless of who comes here, Hayward is our best player.

4) Teague needs the ball in his hand to do something, Hill doesn't.

5) For Teague to be at his best, our best player gets the ball a lot less.

6) Hill is a better shooter, defender, and can actually play multiple positions.

7) The identity of this team is our defense. Hill improves it, Teague compromises it.

Hill plays better off the ball and Teague has to have the ball in his hands. I think this will be a better fit with Hayward and Hood than Teague.

I don't know man. Hood and Hayward didn't make the playoffs. They weren't all stars. Teague was. Talent wins. GS had the best team. LeBron was the best player. Go with talent.

I get the fit argument...if you are contending. We aren't. We aren't very good. We haven't been to the playoffs in a long time.

This is a "let's go make some money" move. It's not a try to win a title move. It's a Utah Jazz move. Increase profits.

We will probably make the playoffs with Hill. Hill is a very good player. The Millers will make a lot of money off this move.

It's not a bad move. Not at all. But, it's not a great move either. It is what we do. Tank, but not all the way. Let Millsap and Kanter leave...not for Harden, but for some second round picks. Get a good player...but not the allstar.

You know this guy, right?
 
Hill is a good player. While I was looking forward to the suspense of the draft, Hill should be good for the Jazz.

sigh.

/conversation over.

It's like when someone says "the spirit told me"....

****, if that's the truth, no intelligent conversation is to be had.

Hill was the safe choice. That is why we made it. Hill is more profitable than Teague. Hill does a lot at a cheaper price.

Someone has to pay for the failed motor park out in Tooele. Looks like the fans just did with the Hill over Teague trade.


Let me put it this way:

With Teague, we have a legitimate All Star to build around. A guy who has led his team to 60+ wins. And if Exum pans out, we are great.

With Hill, we are probably a solid 6-8 seed. BUT, we still need Exum to be a superstar for this team to go anywhere.

Big difference.
