I was super wrong on this. Really felt like the whole Rubio thing was some kind of elaborate smokescreen.

Too bad Jazz didn't make this deal at the deadline last year. Swapping Rubio for Mack in the playoffs with Hill getting injured would have been great. Probably doesn't change any outcomes. . . but still.

Yes, but I think the idea was to still keep Hill...and by extension, convince Hayward to stay. Hill is likely still overvaluing himself- and may have kept his price high after hearing Hayward wanted him in the team. Jazz had zero leverage. They'll have to appeal to GH's common sense (does he really believe Hill is worth what Gordon or Rudy will be making?).
Still hoping there's one more move to be made before Monday.

Great points. I agree that I hope there's more moves yet to come. So far. . . DL went out and aggressively added two guys he really wanted in the draft AND Ricky Rubio before he lost his cap space asset. Gotta say that I'm happy with his moves for the 2nd year in a row. Bring back Hayward and Jingles and I'm really happy. Make a bold move for an upgrade beyond that and DL is a genius.

This board is hilarious. All the complaining in this thread about not using the cap space(because the Jazz are cheap), and then they use the cap space, and the reason they did was to save money.
Apparently the Jazz are cheap no matter what they do.

I'm curious to see what Hill ends up getting. Think he has likely misjudged the market is pretty high at this point. If he comes back at a reasonable cost, I'd extend him and then possibly flip one of Rubio or Exum for a bigger move elsewhere. Still like Hill, but was never comfortable with giving him $20+ million per year. This move makes it so the Jazz don't feel pressured to make a bad deal. I'm very happy about that. Rubio is a solid NBA starter. Great get for a middling asset at best.

And when Hayward stays because of my friend's song you can thank me again.

Yep, this takes them out of a position of desperation, but still allows them to sign him if the price is right.
of course this can't be verified but having Hill, and of course with JJ and Diaw, this past season in a way the Jazz learned how to win.
This is akin to Lebron heading out to Miami to learn how to win.
So in a sense no regrets on trading for Hill even he does not re-sign with the Jazz this coming playoffs.
