Statistically he's a little above average NBA player, and man does he fail the eye test too.
He's still a positive impact guy whether you see that or not. He isn't the first option. He's still a better option than anyone on the team besides Kawhi.

And replace with who?
Kevin Durant 2.0 thread.Free agency is like Spurstalkers in a candy store.
Lol on that last one with Kawhi with the dumb face... That fool had been dragging this team with him right now and it's to the tune of Conference Finals. Keep LA and give this guy one more dude. One more cat that can say, I got this homie, and the Spurs got this done.Be careful . . .
If Hayward agrees to go Boston early enough, Hill's price comes down a bit as Utah won't bother to bring him back.
If Hill is gettable at say, 23.5 to start, they can keep Simmons, Kyle, their pick, add Milutinov, sign Hanga and a big starting at least at $4 million using all cap space plus the room exception.
You could throw a max offer at Blake Griffin after salary dumping Aldridge. Or maybe get someone like Ibaka for less money. Or use that money to go out and get a couple of decent guards. This team is going to be so thin in the backcourt as things stand next year. I'd rather pay Gordon Hayward $25 million than Aldridge $21 million. Or if Hayward starts leaning Boston's way maybe the Spurs could step in and steal Avery Bradley from the Celtics to allow them to open up the capspace needed to sign Hayward.
George Hill on a $100 million contract at 31 years old?
There a fair amount of statistical evidence to say LaMarcus is not...
PoP48 -1.0 http://www.boxscoregeeks.com/players...arcus-aldridge which is to say they estimate that replacing Aldridge with an average guy would result in a net gain of +1 pt 48 minutes to the team.
VORP 1.8 http://www.basketball-reference.com/...l#all_advanced, "A box score estimate of the points per 100 TEAM possessions that a player contributed above a replacement-level (-2.0) player", note that the theoretical replacement player is "a player who is not a normal member of a teams rotation", not an average player
Maybe y'all don't get it, the Spurs are NOT getting rid of LMA under any cir stances.

Gordon Hayward in Spurs uniform makes me vomit as well. Oh, and Ibaka in Spurs uni...
They would probably rather let Gasol go.
I wouldn't give him that at 25 years old.George Hill on a $100 million contract at 31 years old?
Yeah, I agree. Pau just didn't work. I was really excited but it was too much for him.
I hate this time of year. Everybody talking about "Let's trade Patty Mills for LeBron James, Green for Curry and Kyle Anderson for 90s Jordan."
More lateral moves for more money.
Yeah Aldridge is Mensa materialGordon Hayward in Spurs uniform makes me vomit as well. Oh, and Ibaka in Spurs uni...
He plays big minutes vs starters and is rarely injured. That is HUGE. You don't understand how grueling the NBA season is.
I'd rather pay someone big money to theoretically play 75% over 100% of the games than to play 85% and be icy hot.
You win more games with the 75% because you can play around those guys.
Well yeah, who wants that contract for a bigman who can't post James Harden up?
Nobody. That's what people don't get. STers all think that everyone wants to trade their stars for our 14th or 15th guys. Delusional
What gives me a glimmer of hope is how they got Atlanta to take a broken down Splitter for $9 million at a moment's notice. Lots of re ed GMs in the NBA.
George Hill on a $100 million contract at 31 years old?
Maybe 3/75
He is an elite 3 point shooter.
17 games post all star break, 48% fg, 43% from three
Jazz were 19 & 2 when he scored at least 19, 7th ranked point guard in PAAC (points above average created).
50% on corner threes post all star.
40% catch and sit threes.
41% on pull ups.
92% percentile pick and roll producer.
EFG % when a defender went under the screen: 91%, #1 in NBA
I think Holliday is probably better for the team with his playmaking and age, but Hill like a much better shooter. You guys want spacing for Kawhi or LMA? Hill is the guy.
Plus he softens the PR hit of stretching Parker, by bringing back a former Spur and pop's favorite player
There are lots of players who play more minutes than Aldridge. If you're falling behind in those minutes, that's not a good thing. He doesn't get injured because he plays SOFT; he doesn't fight for rebounds, post position
baseline bum bringing the cold hard truth to this thread. Gotta find some way to get rid of LaBeta this summer.
I also think you can find someone who needs more help down low, or more scoring, and can sell them on taking him. His contract is manageable compared to many of the bigs out there, and he can still go get you 20+ a night (or so we should say). I think the Spurs can argue they're building the O around Kawhi and just need to go a different direction. Lots of dumb GMs out there, only need one.
