Kevin Pelton Thinks George Hill Will Get $20 Million in FA

[Handlogten's Heros]

Aren't they 3-1 without him? and what kind of success are you talking? beating the warriors in the playoffs?

right now on the books for next year(presuming the 2 1st rd picks are signed for a combined 4mil) there's like 74MM accounted for 11 players. Which leaves room for a nice raise for Hayward.

So 20 mil for George Hill plus players to fill in the rest of the roster will put the Jazz in the highest luxury tax bracket.

With Favors going off the books unrestricted and Exum and Hood due big raises the next summer it's going to get too expensive..

I'm sure the Jazz acquired Hill knnowing he was capable of earning a nice raise.a 2½X raise is too much though.. he turns 31 during the playoffs and should be asking for 4 years.


To me it's obvious the team is going over the cap but I wouldn't be looking to jump 2 feet into the highest bracket next year.

If we sign hill we move Burks or JJ in the offseason. We can move off of some money our payroll isn't set in stone. Using some our 10M this year to pay him now will get us a slight discount the next three years and add certainty for Hayward negotiations.

3-1 is nice without him but let's not pretend it was pretty and that we faced a murderers row.

Names?

Also can those guys play great defense and switch between both guard positions... what about intangibles, experience, and will they come here.

Also which one of those guys can we use our current cap space to extend and get a discount on in future years?

Extend him if possible. Figure out the other stuff later.

let me just say now that all of your questions will stump him. Hard.

Also word on the street was that Hill got into Hood and helped inspire him in the Orlando game. Hill is a grown up and vocal leader... we have been lacking that.

It's easy to think of these guys at stat robots and say we can get something better for cheaper... kind of thinking may have been one of the reasons we were able to get the guy in the first place.

This cake is great... let's throw it in the blender and rebake it.

No extending him after his best stretch of his career at age 30 is a bad move.

You have to lose someone at some point.

He was a good player before that stretch and will continue to be good. Not using our current cap space would be the worst decision. Extending favors would ensure that we lose Hill because his salary next year would double.

Also, do we feel his play drops off significantly? Sometimes having a 30 year old on the team is a good thing.

Also I missed all of those names that can replace him for less than 20M?

That point can be 2018. I'm also not including Burks as part of this cake. I think he is very likely a goner.

2017 is loaded with PGs, we could draft one.

We could sign a guy like Patty Mills or Dwill to be Exum's backup.

My plan would be to be let Hill hit FA and negotiate. If we can't get a good price then go after Mills or Dwill to backup Exum. Hell we still have this guy named Burks who can play as a backup PG. I'd also look at Lonzo Ball in the draft.

Exum replaces him along with Burks, backup PG signee or drafted player.
