What's new

George Hill coming to Utah

I love the player we got and I LOVE the fit! What gives me pause is the contract status. And we don't really know what the FO is thinking about it. Here's how I'd summarize my feelings about it depending on what FO is thinking:
-If they are thinking of him as a 1 year rental I don't like it at all.
-if they are thinking of resigning him after next season/giving him good enough contract to stay/overpaying long-term - I hate it because we have better players to keep and that contract might be hindrance to it.
-If they have a plan to restructure and extend the contract so they'd give him more money now for less in the future, I think this is a solid deal. High level back up PG for ~10M would be pretty good deal starting next year.

Nice breakdown. Wondering what the contract status is like as well. We at least can enjoy good PG play and I do think that gets this squad to the 50-win mark
 
Yes, but we would still have to pay them.
Thanks for the answer. I had no idea.

They are cheap so I could see it happening.
 
Once you respond to this I'll give ya an answer

Lets say they signed Rondo with those moves.

Rondo - Exum - Jamal Murray(#3) - Mack
Hood - Burks - Jamal Murray(#3)
Barnes - Burks/Hood -Taurean Prince (#16) - Ingles
Favors - Lyles - FA
Gobert - Poeltl(#12) - Withey

.. That to me is viable as ****.

I hate Rondo's shooting and this team needs it.

Sir,

Is the maxing Barnes part of your original post a cogent position or just a "let me throw this in here to see if they're paying attention" type thing? Please advise.
 
I don't really like the trade at first glance.... But I do like hill and we will be better next year now and win many games.
Looking forward to next season!

Hill is a stud and a perfect fit next to Hood/Hayward and probably Exum in a lot of lineups.
