He does it now and we know he can do it.

You never know what a draft pick can really do in the NBA. I've listened to too much hype over the years.

We don't really know how hill will perform with the jazz imo. We have ideas in our minds of what he will do here but it doesn't always come out in real life that way. (Most all of jazzfanz thought big al was going to be awesome..... Remember the wet bandit lol)

I havent gone thru this whole thread, but I like the trade. We need a vet PG so bad, and Hill is just that. 12th pick is likely to not give us much. Curious to see who would be available at 12 tomorrow though

Genius move by Lindsey. He gets nothing for Enes and now gives away s lotto pick for one year of an aging PG? These types of players generally cost just a 2nd at the deadline.
But wait, now EVERY team will want to deal with the Jazz, thinking they too can snooker Dennis the non-menace.
Seriously, a lotto pick for a guy who likely won't be here after another season. As many have said, Mack had nearly the same numbers. He was already on the team and Jazz could take a chance at a good, young player who would cost $2M.

Ok guys. PG_AB and Stifle both hate the trade. It's officially a great trade.

Here's NBAMath's look at the Jazz's current roster in terms of TPA. I roughly cropped in Mack and Hill. In comparison to our point situation, he's bringing in 1.3158 more points per game than Mack, 1.6545 more points per game than Burke, and 1.7882 more points per game than Neto. Oh, and 2.6187 more than Exum did in 2015 (It hates rookies though)

By the way, Hayward ranks 23rd in this stat, Gobert 24th, and Favors 39th. Here's a link to the entire database (Link)

Not sure if I trust it yet, but so far I like the numbers it's spitting out.

Well, we both know I won't shut up.

And I always put out.

I will leave it at Murray will be a phenom.
I don't need you to define it... it's bigger than you.

:o how u doin? :o

Anyway, he can play combo guard. We weren't gonna get any instant NBA quality offense, or instant NBA quality defense out of the 12 spot. We get a vet with experience while not obliterating Exum/Hood minutes, effectively playing either guard spot, History with Snyder, 40% 3pt shooter last year, and lots of playoff experience.

I ain't even mad.

Mack had basically the same numbers playing mostly PG. You do realize you're comparing his numbers against a guy who plays both guard spots and even a little 3 in a small lineup? Mack defended one position, Hill can defend 3. Your comparison sucks.

But we don't need Hill as an off guard. Hood, Burks and even Hayward can play there. Will Utah compete for a championship next season? If not, DL threw away a lottery pick for a one-and-done player. Far better to get a player on a rookie salary who has a CHANCE to develop and stay in Utah...and who would come much cheaper. DL just ate up valuable cap space, which may prevent him for going after any other significant FA.

Stifle makes a good point. Haven't we seen many trades recently for good players on short contracts going for 2nd rounders and other garbage?
