So Locke was busy breaking down possible trade scenarios for Holiday and Hill yesterday. Are those the two players the jazz were trying to trade for?
Indiana may be on the verge of breaking things up. They haven't made a decision on keeping Coach Vogel, they have Paul George, Rodney Stuckey and Monta Ellis under contract beyond next season and then there is this:
Bill Simmons: Also hearing that the Lakers want to make a BIG run at Paul George with their top-3 pick plus other stuff. (Not that they’d get him…) – via Twitter BillSimmons

Hate this. Cousins is not an efficient player. At all. I used to think he could become an offensive hub but the guy is regressing. He puts up numbers kinda like Iverson did.

I already repped this idea as a under-the-radar type signing.

One thinkg i know its true is Bill Simmons never has rumor and this is most stupid ever! You cant trade top 10 player under contract for more years for picks!
TPP making too much sense around here today.

Makes sense. Teams like the Lakers who are use to success dont want to waste time on a rebuild. Just trade for a super-star and then hope that super-star makes others want to sign. Pretty straight forward formula for success for a top market.

I haven't seen much of Hill but I keep hearing Jazz fans bring him up so I looked at his career numbers and some of his film.
I came away convinced most Jazz fans have fallen down and bumped their heads. The dudes numbers are piss poor. Go look at his stats compared to Trevor Booker's and try to sell me on why it just wouldn't be better to bring back Book. Add to that the fact that we already know Booker is great for our locker room and team chemistry. Don't get me wrong, we have to get deeper. Book (if he returns) needs to be the 12th guy on our bench if we want to take that next step.
And when you say that Hill's 3 point % isn't good but he shot it well in the playoffs, we're talking 1 playoff series. It's not as if we saw Indiana go on a long playoff run with Hill dropping bombs.
This guys gonna get overpaid because some GM saw him shoot decently in 1 series against Toronto and be stuck with a guy that shoots 40% from the field and 30% from 3 point land. No ****ing thank you.

Lol dude we're the Jazz. Our biggest offseason FA signings the last five years were Randy Foye and Trevor Booker. Sometimes we have to get lucky and find a diamond in the rough. Some GM said he played himself from getting his option declined to a 4yr/$40MM contract. I doubt he'll get that much, but I'd give him a shot for 4 to 6 million. I don't think he'll get 10MM a year like that one GM said. Indiana fans say he has consistently played great defense and we could always use that to give Hayward a break from guarding the other team's best player. He was locking down Derozan in that series for pretty long stretches. Defense was the only reason he worked his way into the rotation and his offense and inconsistent shooting (18% from 3 pre-allstar break, 41% post-allstar break) and poor finishing at the rim got him benched during the regular season. Obviously he has limitations (not a playmaker or good rebounder for his size, inconsistent shooter) which is why someone like Bazemore will get much more money than him.
Carroll shot 28.6% from 3 before he worked with Quin and in his two seasons in Atlanta he shot 36.2% and 39.5%. They also both have very high motors and play great defense. He just finished his 3rd year in the NBA after transitioning from playing power forward at Arizona. If there's a chance of some Jae Crowder, Aminu, or Carroll potential I'd take a flyer on him. I feel like some team will overpay him to try and turn him into Draymond or something though.
