If the Jazz take Kevin Love in a deal with the Cavs and prevent Paul George from going to Boston, that'll feed two birds with one muffin.

This would be pretty sweet.

Now we sign and trade for Millsap before we even meet with Hayward. Now that's a team.

Why?

Let's not start with the overreactions. Word around the league is that OKC isn't going to risk losing Westbrook for nothing, and will trade him without an extension.

This move could just be DL trying to get some value for that pick in case it turns to trash.

I view this as trading Hill for Rubio. I don't really care about the pick. Hill much better fit. Cy hit nail on the head about Jefferson trade. I wanted Boozer to walk and let Millsap step up. I'm never a big fan of acquiring talent that doesn't fit just to acquire talent. I think the fit of Hill is worth $7M more per year. We lack shooting and now have 30 mins per game of someone who can't shoot (coupled with Gobert). If someone can reference the last time this franchise had any moderate success with a PG who couldn't shoot.

In a vacuum the deal is good... if it pushes Hayward out cuz he wanted his bro then it sucks. I assume DL knows what he is doing... Ricky is at least fun.

 

[dipship31]

Why would anyone agree to money before hearing other offers first? Hill has never had a huge contract in his career. This is his time to set up his family and his family's families for life.

Yep, I don't fault Hill at all for taking this route, but I am also very happy the Jazz didn't wait around.

 

[Spinoza]

Rubio is more fun, younger, and cheaper than Hill.

You don't think Lindsey has some idea how Hill is leaning or how much he wants?

You think he did this knowing Hayward would be pissed and leave if he did?

Give the front office a tiny bit of credit you guys.

Rubio lobs to Gobert. Gimme

How stupid would Gordon Hayward have to be to pass up 46 million dollars because the Jazz replaced George Hill with Ricky Rubio? He clearly didn't want Hill leaving for nothing, but he has to recognize what a positive situation it would be to play with a talented pass-first guy like Rubio, who is both younger and cheaper than Hill. 46 million solely because the Jazz have Rubio instead of Hill? That makes no sense.

 

[Shad]

Dont get too excited guys. This dude has more injuries than Hill

 

[kabenac]

Is Ingles not friends with anyone?

Jimmy Butler and Miles Plumlee.

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

If Hill really did turn down that money today I'm over him.

My man crush is officially over Mr. Hill.

Free agency hasn't started. Utah can't make any offers until tomorrow. The person who posted that is confused about the extension Hill declined months ago.

 

[Pastramiking]

I think Utah gave up a lot for a one-year rental of Hill. I hope and believe they could re-sign Hill as well in the wake of getting. The PG sellers market is really high and the PG buyers market is low as only a few teams need a PG. It is possible that Hill will not find as generous an offer as he wanted and could re-sign with Utah for a fair price. He has the ability to play off the ball and guard 2s, so he could play with Rubio.

I don't know why is everyone here is pissed about this trade..
I really don't think Rubio is much worse than Hill.
We gave up a non lottery pick for him.
Locke said today that Hill turned down a 20m/year extension a few months ago.. so Rubio is cheaper and Hill could be available around max level and I don't think he is a max level point guard
As of haywards point of view I can't imagine he is disappointed since I think Rubio could be more productive than Hill and Rubio fits our system better (thats just my opinion)
AAAAND unfortunately if all of this true and Hayward has his doubts about the Jazz, I believe DL knew of Haywards tendencies..
