If anybody thinks George Hill was acquired as a stopgap option until we understood what Dante Exum is (like, Daladumb here... who later reversed his position like a mother****er and then reversed back while denying he reversed in the first place), then they're dumb af.
Hill and his agent mis-read the market. It dried -- fast and severely. He took his one generational-money contract rather than playing on a one-year deal. That was the best of his available options. I wish him well.
He probably declined his extension from the jazz because he wanted to wait for Hayward's decision and thought the Jazz FO would just handle both players in good time. That was a bad choice on multiple levels, but it probably made some sense at the time.
Hill was great for us last year as long has he wasn't battling injuries (which had no precedent and weren't career-altering in the long-run). Great player. He gave us our best shot at making a run and keeping Hayward.
...but never mind the facts of history. Let's be bitchmade like Dala****.
