Young ron artest? Bowen Jr?
Chalmers is still worse than Hill and would not have gotten us this much in a trade.
Lorbek will be a beast for us book it!

IM SICK SWEAR IMMA MISS MY BRO!! @George_Hill3
Glad for Hill. He gets to go home and gets to be a big part of an up-and-coming team that has a bright future.
The guy has a freakin 7'3 wing span which is longer then some centers! I like the trade and though I am sad to see Hill go I am glad that he gets to go to his hometown state.
Well said.
He can probably start next to Collison there. I hope he does well as a Pacer.
Spurs weren't going to be able to keep hill past this year anyways. George isn't really a guy you can consider a building block for the future.
Spurs probably keep TP and get a solid defensive prospect at a need position, a good Euro pick and a extra draft pick thats not guaranteed.
Great trade IMO, gonna miss Hill though. good luck playing at home.
I put on the draft thread that Bob Kemp, who's on the air right now doing live draft coverage, named sportstalk radio host of the decade by SI, loves Leonard for the Spurs.
Called Leonard "the perfect Spur" and also said he was "Bruce Bowen Jr."
Kemp has a damn good track record with this stuff and watches as much NCAA ball as anyone (doesn't watch international ball though). When Hill was drafted, Kemp talked about Hill during that night and actually had watched IUPUI more than once and said that night that Hill could play some. Didn't like him strongly, and not so much as a point, but liked him.
Kemp also loved Anderson and lobbied for him as a player of the year candidate at OKS. Really loved him for the Spurs.
this guy is the next jordan.
joking aside, it was a great trade. we've all been wanting a good perimeter defender and rebounder. this is that guy.
george hill had three years to show us something more, but i think he hit his ceiling here in SA. i'm gonna miss him, but we're not losing much since neal performed so well in his first season. i like what we've got. now if only we could get rid of bonner and rj.
Its definitely good for Hill as well. And for Indiana if he blossoms there. I'd probably say odds are against him becoming more than a 12-5 player on a consistent basis but maybe he'll surpass that.
Chalmers wouldn't have been the future either. Dude sucks.
Bad trolls are bad.
That's a matter of debate. At least Chalmers can drain his open 3s and do it in a pressure packed game. We may have been able to use him this year while Conley was mouth ing our PG.
Chalmers wouldn't have been the best Spurs player in a series that saw the Spurs get the Mavs' monkey off their back.
He also wouldn't have netted the 15th (and possibly more) overall pick in this draft.
Hill's value, be it an end, has already been more than Chalmers ever would have.
How does this help the Spurs win now or rebuild
Ummm..just read the scouting report on him..HE CANT SHOOT TO SAVE HIS LIFE..omg...glad we traded Hill..but not for this!!!!
Good Luck Hill!
Here's my last
HHhhhhhiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllll 3333333333333333333333333333333333333
Depending on what kind of player Leonard turns out to be they could definitely be better with him over hill.
Its just a proposed trade which means it hasn't gone through yet right?
He can't spread the floor aka Sprs=Fcked
Good thing about the trade: We drafted a young athletic wing who can defend and rebound.
Bad thing about the trade: Pop plans to play him at the 4.
he can defend better then hill
he is much cheaper
not going to whine if he does not get playing time because he wants a big contract next year
Hopefully this guy can be a Sam Young type. I don't care if they can't shoot, I want to go back to defensive spurs basketball.
