After reading the Twitter account of Tony I feel good as it seems like Hill wants to be where he is "appreciated":

"Hill's agent said they would've looked at Utah next season in free agency regardless. He loves Snyder, has close relationship with Hayward"
"Just spoke to G Hill's agent: Although on one year deal, the hope is Hill will be in Utah long term"

If the Jazz saw something in the mini-camps that they wanted more than hill, that they had a reasonable shot at then I'm sure they would have gone for it. Just because they found something they like better than what they saw doesn't mean the mini-camps were a farce. Get serious.
PKM made fun of PGAB so PGAB left. Now PGAB is apparently back. You could say he is akin to a divorced housewife coming back to retrieve some day-time soap dvd's.
I think relationships matter. I think it allows both sides to go into a transaction with eyes open and a sense of historical purview. As far as the mini-camps go, the NBA landscape is a dynamic one and far from being static. Why would a franchise NOT prepare for all possible scenarios?
I don't know what the Jazz feel about Neto but at the end of the day I support their decisions until I don't.
Hill hitting that age where guys often start to go downhill. If he does sign long term I hope he can still be a decent player.

George Hill was actually the much better player than Teague. Purely on defensive ability. According to nbamath.com/nba-individual-seasons/ and Bleacher Report

Folks... how would you be disappointed by this trade? We lost 14 games by 5 points or less and the MAIN reason we lost statistically speaking was defense in the fourth quarter - injuries - point guard play. We have a stud in Exum who is unproven and a bunch of 2nd string/3rd string guards. We otherwise are desperate for veteran presence in a league owned by Vet experience. We have plenty of youth. Besides, everyone has been wanting us to trade into the 20s because the talent just isn't there in a 'weak' draft.
Is there a better stopper at the point position in the league than George Hill who isn't an all star and who can shoot? Wade Baldwin MIGHT be that guy in 3 years. But we want to win NOW. At least I do.
Name me 1 other point guard in the league that is known for defense, plays in a system, and that was attainable. Walt Perrin has said about 1000 times almost no rookies come into the league playing defense. This locks the position down and fills our most glaring hole! I suspect if we had George Hill last year, we win 7 of those 14 games... in spite of the ref job we always get.
LOVE IT! Oh yeah, and he WANTS to be here and Gordon and DL wanted him here too.
GREAT TRADE...
The only thing I would have done to add to it was to include Trey Burke and a swap for the 21st pick as part of the deal. But I suspect something like that is in the works anyways. BRASUPPORT!

I don't like this trade, I'm serious. The 12th draft pick was the consolation prize for not making the playoffs and they throw it away so easily for a player that will be an unrestricted free agent next season.
I remember that few posters wanted the trade for Teague in February, calling it just a "loan" for 1,5 season...now suddenly almost everyone glad to trade for a player with a similar contract situation and lose a first round draft pick.
That is why I said the batch is not to great. I think some people are overhyping Hill though. He is really more of a two guard. Averaging 3 assists a game does not scream point guard.

Since it sounds like Exum will come off the bench and have minute restrictions to start the season, it'll be nice to have Hill to get the Jazz off to a good start. But it still seems to me that Teague, #12 and Hill are not equal value.

Just once, just once before I die I'd like to see a trade where the Jazz come out on top. Like, Lakers-style on top where we get a quality player for garbage.
It's like there's only two trades the Jazz ever make. They either trade picks for an underwhelming players or get involved in 3-team deals to help another team while we get picks or garbage.
