George Hill coming to Utah

the summer of 2017 has the greatest free agent PG crop of all time.. Yet the Jazz are paying a premium (lottery pick) for a rental one year early --- That's totally what just happened here..

and apparent;y the lowly 76ers are the one that ran the price up/created some need to pull the trigger on this deal before the draft.. LOL


Should've just paid Rondo for 1 season.

Surely the 12th pick is not THAT high a price. I think if we manage to retain him, it's a damn good deal.

And I like Rondo, but he's a headcase. And Hill is better anyway.

Interested to hear how the 76ers ran the price up this far for Hill.. This move is absurd..

Lindsey got bamboozled, Trey Burke style.

His assist numbers have always been poor. I actually did not realize how poor they are.

Well ya. Like others said, it's not a no-brainer. We gave up a good asset for a possible one year rental. That would not be ideal. But, since he's an aging player, I think we have more of a chance at signing him long-term to a reasonable contract if we end up with a legit playoffs team.

I guess we'll see how things go down. But I am excited about this trade.

Fair enough. I'm ok with the trade.
 
I just don't see how this moves the needle at all for the Jazz. Giving up a #12 for a one-year rental of a player who's pretty good is not a good move.

If anything, they should've waited to agree to this until tomorrow night, when they saw who was still available at #12. Also makes me think something else is in the works, potentially for Trey Burke.
 
Atlanta only got the 12th pick for teague, pretty interesting to think about. Well I love the move. A lot of people on Twitter love it. There's lots of teams selling their picks in the draft and we increased our depth without losing anyone.

Oh and to your second point is there a chance in hell that the jazz could have a good playoff team this coming season and keep the #12 pick without getting hill? Could the jazz get a free agent this summer?

I don't know. It's late lottery, so any prospect we would have drafted could not have helped us significantly for another year or two. I don't wanna keep rolling the dice with a "championship or nothing" mentality. I want to improve our current core to become a good team that can beat anyone on any given night. Just a team I enjoy watching, and one that is respected around the league.

first and foremost I;m a fan of basketball, secondly I'm a fan of competition, thirdly I'm an even keeled bettor who doesn't take into account favoritism..

Believe what you want tho.

Not trying to convince ya of anything.

these silly team allegiances are akin to housewives rooting for their favorite actors in day-time soaps, the way I see it. Thats certainly reflected on this forum. Thats the sell in team sports, thats what generates ticket sales and merchandise sales, they prey on consumers want/need to feel apart of a team,


The Cavs just played unreal basketball in the finals and mos tpeople I know are still calling LeBron a bitch.. thats precisely what I'm talking about. I appreciate the game and the minor details.

That 40pt game from Kyrie was greater than any Allen Iverson performance I can recall. I'm still in shock of how it all played out.

George Hill is an okay player. Better suited coming off a bench. Bit of a chucker. It is a move but not a playoff MAKING MOVE.

A chucker that hit .400 from three is what? I agree he is suited to come off the bench on a good team. Hopefully Exum works hard and improves and takes the starting spot and Hill is the combo guard coming off the bench that we need.
