George Hill coming to Utah

[LoPo]

The 76ers were involved in trade discussions for both George Hill and Jeff Teague up until the very last minute. In the market for vet PG.

Interesting that we got Hill.

Maybe we trade Hill and other pieces for Ben Simmons. How awesome would that be?

I think this trade helps the Jazz and believe that the Jazz will make the playoffs next year. If they don't, then the season will have been a complete disaster. For the record and for reference, I did not believe the Jazz would make the playoffs last year.

Draft picks for sale! By my count that's picks 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, & 21 on the market https://t.co/Wk8FKlimOo

So sounds like DL could get a pick if he really wants to.

 

[Ron Mexico]

vehemently disagree.

Did you watch the western conference playoffs and think "the Jazz are one piece away from being contenders" ??

Where the **** did I say anything about contenders? Your losing it kid. Or did you respond to the wrong thread or log onto the wrong account?

Welcome back.

Class act as always.

Enlighten me. How is Hill better? Or is that the best response there is?

You have to look at what I bolded. I was not commenting on the Hill v. Teague.

I was talking about your Hood/Hayward v. Teague argument. While you are factual in your statement you also leave you very relevant facts that add context. Jazz suffered huge injuries to 4 of their top 6 players. Not ingles or Burke mind you but Exum, Gobert, Burks and Favors.

ignoring that for the sake of making your argument look good only damages it.

Hey if you are still on the "max Harrison Barnes" train why did you delete all of your posts in the earlier thread?

I'll take the #3 and #16 for Hayward, Max Harrison Barnes, run the offense thru Hood. And I wouldn't do this deal for 12.. There'd still be $$ to sign Conley or another max player.

The end result of next season is the same ---- the Jazz lose.. except the team is much younger 3 new rookies to develop and they'll have a btter chance to land a top pick in a better draft.. and they wont be on the hook to pay Hayward 30,000,000..

I have patience though.. To me this move signals the Jazz are choosing to take baby steps.. When I gamble, I like to go big (like the D-Will to NJ trade)

This trade is Tyson Chandler to the Knicks status IMO.

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 ****.

If the chemistry isn't right thats not a bad scenario (other than for ticket sales) theyll end up inone of the strongest lottery's in recent memory, and there's plenty of cap flexibility still..

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.

Yeah and we didn't trade those picks away for a reason.

Someone traded the Gobert pick away iirc

Why would I ever respond seriously to a post that says the Jazz should max Harrison Barnes?

 

[MilesDeep]

Awesome trade for Utah! Utah has plenty of talent already that just needs maturation without drafting another maybe good enough to be starter in 3-4 years at #12, stop whining you brood of idiots. Hill is very smart, a great three point shooter, and plays very strong defense. It does necessitate moving of Burke and Mack, which I'm sure DL will do. Also, there can't possibly be one person that still thinks we need to max Harrison Barnes, who was never worth that money, but especially after his disappearing act on the big stage.

The gamblers are all butt hurt they don't get to play scratch-to-win in the draft this year.

Here guys, scratch your monitor to see what you get.
