Rubio traded to Jazz

[Bawse Dawg]

I am gonna miss Hill because he had a killer instinct and was a leader for the team. Dude had ice in his veins. I like Rubio but fun isn't killer instinct. Wish Hill would have signed the good deal we gave him.

I never got that impression from Hill.

That's great. We better be starting Joe Johnson over Favors then. Because our shooting will be a joke otherwise.

That's pretty doable. I like that we have good versatility in our roster.

Ricky will learn to love him when he's getting 5 assists a game just off of lobs to Rudy

I think this is a (serious) mistake. The grade for the offseason is an A if Gordon stays and an F if he leaves.

If Hayward re-signs, great. But I'm pretty sure Hill is a Timberwolf now.

Doubt the wolves want to pay him what he wants.

They bowed out of Hill, who is a proven winner and perfect fit with the Jazz because they didnt want to get in a bidding war with San Antonio (and whoever else may have wanted Hill).

Of course they will paint it as a pure basketball decision, but it signals financial doubt.

Hill is still a free agent. They bowed out of a 1st round pick next year. That is all.

Dude says that based off of one 3-word tweet from two years ago.

They're grown men; this is a non-issue.

I agree, let's get a little context. These are grown men, and NBA professionals not little kids

 

[fishonjazz]

I would bet you every dollar I could ever make for the rest of my life the Jazz wouldn't sign Hill without having Hayward in tow. That makes absolutely no sense.

That package deal, by the way, the one that was one of the few certain advantages in negotiations? They just lost that.

Hill is still a free agent

If the Wolves are smart they'll use that cap space to pay for a bench that contributes something each game.

This is a chess move... put Ricky in practice with Gobert everyday... watch the chip grow bigger until he becomes a mix of Mutombo/Shaq/KD and is winning games by himself and no one will look him in the eye.

We might as well open the Kiss Hayward Goodbye thread. What an unmitigated disaster! I absolutely hate this. And we gave them a first round pick for the pleasure of clearing space for them. WOW!

C'mon. You're not this stupid.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Couple things... no team has as much information as us on Hill's toe... go ahead and say it's just a toe... it could be a legit issue going forward. Foot problems kill careers.

DL has a good idea of what Hayward is doing... if this was the death knell in him leaving then he wouldn't do it.

DL is not perfect, but I do trust him... gonna be a long couple weeks.

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

********, plain and simple. Are there other factors? Sure, but money is a huge factor here.

Nope. I'll bet they still go after Hill. If they can re-sign him, they can still flip Rubio at the deadline and avoid the tax.

This is just DL being proactive with an insurance policy on missing Hill. `

Does it get tiring being wrong all the time? I'm guessing it would.
