George Hill coming to Utah

Remember that Derrick Rose guy? He never got over the mental weakness part. Exum could be ready by the start of the season, he could be ready by the all star break, he could take a whole 'nother year to be ready, or he could never be ready.

I feel like rose issue was more physical than mental

Didn't he miss a year then get injured in his first game back the next year or something close to that?

he took forever to come back and actually play games even tho he'd been cleared and was practicing ... very much a mental thing
 
But at least rose was fearless and aggressive pre injury.

Did we ever find out what all the particulars of the Hill trade are supposed to be? I saw the Hawks were busy scooping Dwight Howard's numb nuttery, and it renewed my interest in what the final pieces were going to be.

As said already it will be announced on the 7th. But I was looking back through old tweets and I found one from Adrian Wojnarowski that was interesting. He openly said "other pieces involved". Hmmm... I hope those pieces are coming our way.

They would likely be coming from Indiana rather than Atlanta. Atlanta already gave up enough. . .
 
I don't get the "Exum is mentally weak argument". In fact, it is quite dumb. Exum practiced everyday. Exum was aggressive in practice. And he failed.

So, because he knows he isn't very good at a certain skill, he is mentally weak? Because he'd rather win than drive to the hoop and turn the ball over, he is mentally weak?

Bull crap.

It's as valid as "he failed".

Haha

Failing and being mentally weak are two very different things. Maybe he didn't fail at all. Maybe due to the fact that he hasn't ever played against any decent competition for any amount of time his season was successful.

I have always said that his rookie year to pretend he wasn't playing. To pretend that he was some DL scrub and Exum was RS'ing. His defense was completely unexpected and the fact that he won the starting job was a huge success in my eyes. Exum was much more valuable as a rookie than I ever thought he would be.
 
Two of the biggest lies on Jazzfanz are that Exum is mentally weak and timid and that Favors plays with no Passion and Fire.

I think we can't really say much about Exum, since he was an afterthought on offense and wasn't required to do much but Favors doesn't run the floor particularly well in transition and doesn't seem to like to play in the low post offensively. If this should be interpreted as having "no Passion and Fire" I don't know, but surely doesn't look good.
