George Hill coming to Utah

How many PGs averaged 12 pts/3 Assts/40% 3 Pt%?

How many #12 picks play more than one year in the league? Because George Hill only has one year left on his contract. #12 for George Hill is just plain bad business.

Geoge Hill has one year left on his contract for 8 million. This is a win now move by the Jazz and it is a really good one.


So they listened to teh vocal fans who were complaining at the end of season? Jerry used to say if you start listening to the fans you'll soon be sitting with them.
 
George Hill is most likely better than any player we would get in this draft, he fits a need, and he can play with all of our players. I'm ecstatic. Great trade.
 
G Hill has one year left at $8 Million, right?
I believe so.

I've advocated trading for George Hill in the past, but trading a lottery pick for an expiring contact is crazy risky. DL better be sure we'll retain him long term.

Also, the last time a team traded away a lottery pick for George Hill ended up regretting it big time (Leonard).

Whatever. I always thought Hill would be a good fit here.

Interesting move... I'll be all for it if we're also getting a late 1st back.

this is great, he is indeed near the end of his prime, but as long as he doesn't mind a mentors role, he can help Exum learn the NBA game and get us into the playoffs at the same time. Also, the Jazz needed to figure out how to get into the 90th percentile salery wise without overpaying a player on a multi year contract. This takes care of this for a year, and next year Gordo will opt out and need to be re-upped for more. All in all, a good move.

Oh, and historically, the 12th pick sucks. Usually.
 
This would have to be a good trade beyond just getting hill for the jazz to pull the trigger this early. The draft picks tend to go up in value during the draft.

George Hill is a great fit here, but what we paid was straight stupid (unless we get something back). George Hill played 34mpg and only got 3apg and 12ppg. Is he the model for Exum?

We are in win now mode. Awesome. What can we win now?
