do NOT bring back George Hill

The irony of adding Dwill though is that he is 100% more injury prone than Hill.

It'd only be ironic if I were saying not to sign Hill because he's injury prone, which I'm not. However, I still don't know that it'd be all that ironic if someone had that opinion as they may prefer a $10M Deron who's "injury prone" to a $25M Hill who's "injury prone."

George Hill is the perfect fit. Let's just hope there isnt anyone willing to give him a max contract.

this... and that he plays more than 57% of the season. 2 of the last 3 seasons, he has failed to do so.

they're definitely both injury prone. Williams has played in 30 more games than hill has over the past 3 seasons though (almost an extra half a season).

Not really. Dwill has a longer injury history. You took a sample of the last 3 years, which happen to be the only two years Hill has had an injury problems.

George Hill sitting out to be healthy for the playoffs is the right thing to do. IMO home court is overrated. We don't match up well with the Clips either way so we have our work cut out for us. Hopefully Favs is right because that would make a big difference. In the bigger scheme of things - I hope we don't bring him back unless he takes considerably south of 20M. That has nothing to do with him sitting out last night. It has to do with his overall career performance and his health issues this year. Since his hot start this year, his play has leveled out to be what one expects George Hill to be. A nice solid point guard who fits our system well but nothing special. And certainly not the 3rd piece of the all important puzzle.

Bottom line is if we don't have Hill, Clippers pulverize us in the first round HCA or not. In the playoffs Mack and Exum would wet the bed and not get a single call vs Chrissy.
So I think Hill could have gone these last few games but the risk far outweighs the reward. Do I like our chances without HCA even with Hill? No, but having him is priority #1.

I would still give hill 4 years 80 million. Still think he gets more though. Hope the jazz don't give him what he wants and will likely get. (Something closer to 4 years 120 million I think)

Only Sixers and Nets would offer that type of dough. But Sixers are snakebit with all their injured youngsters, I doubt they'd take a chance on Hill. Nets are dumb enough to do it. Does Hill want to spend the last 4 years of his career in a living hell? I bet the Spurs get him for 3/36. Hill's agent is delusional.

But last 3 years are most germane. An injury for DWill at age 26 seems almost irrelevant. Although Hill's injuries seem to be more flukey versus chronic.

No. Dwill and Hill are African American, not German.

4 years @ 20 million for hill? He's about to turn 31 in may... that would make him 35 at the end of the contract. he cant even stay healthy now, let alone when he's past the age that many NBA players have retired by.

Most PG's performance falls off a cliff at 31. Whoever gives CP3 a megamax will regret it, for example.

If he does come back i would think there's every reason to expect close to a full season out of him. It's not like he's had a succession of soft tissue injuries. Deron you just know he's not gonna play more than 20 games before he gets some random strained calf type injury.

a player's injury history 10 years ago when they were 20 years old isn't really relevant to TODAY cy. The past 3 years paints a pretty good picture of currency.
