Hill signed to 4 year contract with SA?

[jayc23]

I am a close friend of Hill's as some of you know.. hes been kinda off the grid in past month.. but when I recently talked to my close friend who recently saw George at his labor day bash in Indy, Hill quoted as to being signed to a 4 year deal with the spurs... I've known george and the source of this info for 10+ years so im more inclined to believe this than the speculation on here... take it with a grain of salt or question my credibility but according to Ghill hes a spur for 4 years.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Fuck yeah.

If it's true, what's keeping the FO from making an announcement?

The Spurs always keep things close but I don't get why there's been no news on a signing.

James Gist

[Kori Ellis]

Though I don't doubt that he has intention to sign, I don't believe he has officially signed yet. Spurs send out a press release with each signing. He is also still listed as an unsigned draft pick on the Spurs site.

[ducks]

4 years is alot
I wonder if the spurs would have option on year 3 and 4

[Kori Ellis]

Yes, that's how rookie contracts are.

[jayc23]

George told my friend this yesturday, again whether this is an official signing or a theoretical contract, i have not confirmed... I am only telling spurs nation this info because I don't feel im betraying my friends confidence and I know people are greatly wondering about this issue... I am going to do some more digging.

Well if he agreed to sign on Friday or signed this weekend or something, maybe it will be official tomorrow. Thanks for the news.

http://www.realgm.com/src_rookiescale.php

This is the Rookie Salary Scale for 1st round draft picks for the 2008-2009 season. The teams may sign a player ranging from 80% - 120% of the scale for the position in which the player was selected, and in almost every case the player is signed for 120% of the scale value. Unsigned players count at 100% of scale for the team's salary (against the cap).

If Hill signs and Gist comes back after a year of pro experience in Europe, our future looks a bit brighter.

[ChuckD]

Standard first round pick contract, 3 years plus a team option. Hill will make around 1.35 million a year I think.

That used to be the case a couple of years back, but now, both years 3 and 4 are team options. The teams also used to have to pick up that year 4 option before year 3 even started. WTF?

[The Truth #6]

I guess no one wanted to trade with us?

not that i'm doubting you or anything, but if you really are a close friend, couldnt you just call him and confirm instead of going by what a friend of a friend says?

either way, i hope it's true

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm pretty sure Hill would be annoyed if somebody, even one of his close friends, randomly called him asking for information about his contract..athletes will be cautious enough about their surroundings once they get their big contract, it wouldn't do any good for jayc to call him and ask him about a money-related question..

[jayc23]

I run 2 businesses now... so im more than overloaded, and even some of George's good friends who have known him all of his life.. hes all over the place... and his phone is tied up constantly ... I also give him his space because everybody and their mother that has met him over the past years is knocking his door down...

I'm just trying not to be that guy.. I get most of my info from his cousins etc.. I prefer to be a friend not a groupie.. whether he becomes a star, a 7th man or a flop.. i'll be his friend to the end... see http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100376&page=2 for more info

ya in the weeks before draft camp.. we sat down and joked about what cars he would buy.. what houses he would get and where... but seriously.. when the stuff actually comes to fruition ... its over whelming... and I sure as hell am not going to be an annoying little fly on his shoulder, like alot of people are being to him right now.. I've played with him and watched him play all his life.. I believe in his ability.. and that hes going to be something more than a black beno... I don't really need to question if hes getting a contract or not.. if the spurs won't take him.. im sure LA or boston will have his number... its a matter of weeks and it won't be hearsay and conjecture.

[tlongII]

It's a good thing that you'll be his friend till the end, because I guarantee he will be a bust. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he doesn't have NBA talent.

What makes you so sure?

[mrspurs]

If its true, and i would guess it is, the FO sets different times and dates to make their claims. Then based on what Ive seen on Hills play, the Spurs got him for easy money. Spurs Style. Its only worked a handful of times with this Spurs Style. Manu,TP,Bruce,Drob and even Timmy easily could make tons more. The rest of the names basically have a revolving door. Thats where i see Hill as one of those revolving doors.

[Bruno]

Derrick Rose has signed with Chicago for more than one month and they still haven't made a press release about this signing. They are waiting to sign Ben Gordon to make a press release and a press conference with Rose, Deng and Gordon.
Spurs could have done the same thing with Hill but I doubt it. On espn and realgm trade machines, Rose salary is listed while Hill isn't. If Hill has signed with Spurs, it was only few days ago.

[MarCowMar]

I wouldn't doubt that this whole delay was due to the Spurs trying to lowball him and save a few 100k.

[Sissiborgo]

Damn i am happy that we got that guy..He will show us some good basketball this year...

[Tully365]

The Spurs targeted guard versatility this off season: Mason is a a guy most comfortable playing shooting guard who can play the point if necessary, and Hill is a guy with a 6'9" wingspan who thrived playing the 2 guard in college and showed signs of being able to play the point in pre-draft tournaments and workouts.... if you think about the Spurs' situation, it makes sense-- Parker is their youngest star and the current player who figures to be with them for the most years, even after Tim and Manu are gone, so getting a pure point guard doesn't really make sense. If a pure point guard turns out to be very good-- like Jose Calderon last year with Toronto-- he will naturally want to start at some point, and not be stuck in the depth chart behind Tony. Mason and Hill are both combo guards who can guard PGs and SGs, and who could potentially stick with the Spurs for many years alongside Parker. People here are quick to criticise the FO (despite their ridiculous level of success), but this is another example for me of how smart they are.

[howbouthemspurs]

sounds like a bunch of B.S. to me

[Solid D]

As it may have been suggested already, the Spurs could have been waiting to see what other signees would be secured and at what rate prior to agreeing to the exact amount of George's contract. Although most 1st-round picks sign for 120% of the scale, George may not be signing for the full 120% in year one. The rule is they can sign for between 80%-120% of the Rookie scale. The 26th pick Rookie scale is $838,500, so the range would be from $670,800 to $1,006,200, or a difference of $335,400.

[DPG21920]

One way or the other I just want things to get rolling. I thought Hill looked like he belonged, even when he struggled. Solid defense and his mechanics on offense looked good, shots just were not falling.

i seriously hope Hill signs with the Spurs. he sucked on offense in SL but i have faith that he can pick it up.

dude i dont think this guy is even better than beno udrih

you know when beno gave a damn about playin, he was lights out effective on the court...too bad he had to resort back to the doghouse where free clubbin and hoes was on the menu

Poor Beno got hung out to dry by TP and Pop. Since Pop couldnt teach TP how to pass the ball, he left the passing up to Beno. And since Beno wasnt gonna listen to Pop anymore. It made no sense to keep the best backup point guard the Spurs have had for TP. With Jacque and all his talent, I guess the Spurs think they are set to make another run. :lol

Can't wait till the preseason.

[MrChug]

If "Hill" is truly your friend, why are you asking idiot? You should be reporting, but since he's NOT your friend it's obvious you're just speculating because your "cousins" (who don't know him either) are reporting to you.

YOU ARE THE FUCKING WORST POSTER I HAVE EVER SEEN.

I don't know if you're some kind of retarded (no offense to retards) troll or what.

You do realize Beno was pathetic towards the end of his tenure with the Spurs. Out of all the things the Spurs did I would not fault them for getting rid of Beno. The guy was fucking rubbish out there on the court for us. Like TimVP said the only think you might be able to fault them on was not trading him sooner when his stock was higher.

[mrspurs]

Its all good Ice009......I dont take anything personal. And Im always right. Life is good. Beno is still better then Hill and Jacque.

[jayc23]

Me and George met in 1997 when we were 10 and 12 years old at a local rec league basketball gym, known as TAB.. We lived within a block of each other and the church and became close friends and played ball 12 hrs a day every day... hill was struggling at the middle school he was going to which was a rough and mediocre inner school, where fights broke out daily.. I was homeschooled at the time for the same reason, my parents moved into the inner city when I was 6 years old to help under privileged youth..

Hill homeschooled with me for a year and a half, which gave me and hill the opportunity to finish our homework very early in the day and go play ball deep into the night.. George played basketball at St. Richards a private catholic school in Indianapolis who allowed him to play even though he didn't go there... He then moved on to Frederick douglass to finish his 8th grade.. Before his freshman season, George and I traveled to UCSB campus in Cali to attend MJ flight school, where George earned recognition from MJ as one of the better young players he had ever seen.. george beat jordan in a shooting contest and was 2 time MVP of the camp for the 2 weeks there.

He went on to play his rookie season of high school at Broad Ripple High school where he made varsity, but did not play much on the senior dominated team.. My father became asst. varsity coach to Coach William Smith, who coached at broad ripple for 20+ years, and such players as Mike Woodson, Smith is now a scout for the Hawks or as of my last information on him. Smith retired from BRHS after Hill's senior year. Seehttp://spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100376&page=2 for more information on Hill's high school career.

Me and george were like brothers growing up and he comes by and visits when he has free time and is in town... I could give a shit about his contract and his money, I want him to be the player he was born to be.. I hope he has a long successful NBA career.. I could give a flying fuck if you negative tools dont believe i know Hill... I don't want a medal for knowing him. or e-respect.. I just figured somebody on here would find the information I have about him interesting.. and I guess when I searched for a spurs fan forum the night he was drafted to see what they were saying about my friend.. I felt l should humanize George to the forums against all the mid-major player, high draft pick hate.

We all wait to see what George will amount to... hes incredibly athletic and talented, its up to him to prove himself and make it at the NBA level.

Bravo, very well said. Don't let the small sample of people on here that are d-bags speak for everyone. Any and all information is appreciated and even if it is speculation, that would only make you and your info like 99.99% of everyone else on here.

[jayc23]

I put a question mark on the post because, I hadn't bothered George for the info personally, I know everybody and their mother is asking him the same damn shit everyday , and hes prolly tired of it... So I just took what one of my best friends told me as fact.. but until I see it on NBA.com or a credible press info.. I'm not going to put my foot in my mouth... because im only as good as my word and im not going to to come on here and spout random conjecture... also george saying 4 year contract is a question because he may have a 4 year contract in some way.. but obviously the spurs must have options on year 3 and 4 on a rookie contract.. I just have a very abstract number ..

[duncan228]

I think there are a lot of us that do find the info you've shared with us since draft night interesting. Please keep us posted on anything you can. I think the posters that don't believe you are just more vocal than those of us that do. But we're here, we're listening, and we appreciate you joining ST.

Thanks. I'm not trying to insult the guy but seriously I don't believe him it just pisses me off when people make up shit that is not true.

And believe once the season starts you all will see a difference in post quality.

I have started some good threads, The NBA conspiracy " fixed for lakers and celtics" and the Shaq or D Rob thread.

All this bullshit propaganda pisses me off tho you all need to get this in your heads that Greg Hill sucks.

That the spurs are making horrible decisions draft wise and free agency wise.

They waste they're draft picks on nobodies and people who likely are going to start playing for them in their 30's.

I guarantee the spurs are not going to win a championship if they don't make any drastic changes now.

Manu sucks, TD is old, TP ain't going to do shit on his own.

They can trade Manu while he is still worth something and get rid of Tony.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

George is the second coming of Tony Parker

Now if only he could just hit a shot once in awhile. :D

[DPG21920]

I really thought Hill looked good (besides the shooting). His shot looked fine, it just was not falling. He also got to the rim pretty easily and he defended well. I would not mind seeing him play.

[T Park]

George Hill will be just fine.

People are wound way too tight on him.,

[Manufan909]

Can't wait til he shuts all the fucking doubters on here with incredible play in the preseason, and maybe see some time as SG with the Manu void Pop will have to fill. If Mason, and Udoka will get the majority of those, AND Finley loses minutes like most of us want him to, someone else will need to take at least 10-15 minutes so Mason isn't playing 30 a game right off the bat.

Who knows, there might be a trade in the works.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

hill for weems :smokin

[mountainballer]

btw. guess who are the only not yet signed 2nd rounders from the 2008 draft.
it's the two Ducks, Hairston and Leunen. all others already signed with their NBA team or went to Europe. (or already were under contract with an Euro team). according to the Rockets, Leunen also is destined to Europe.
so the only unsigned draftees are Hill AND Hairston.

maybe RC has something like a signing blockade?
I mean, writers have writing blockades all the time, why shouldn't a manager have a signing blockade?

Bravo, very well said. Don't let the small sample of people on here that are d-bags speak for everyone. Any and all information is appreciated and even if it is speculation, that would only make you and your info like 99.99% of everyone else on here.

With that said, I hereby am authorized to speculate that you are officially a fckn d-bag :rolleyes

Me and George met in 1997 when we were 10 and 12 years old at a local rec league basketball gym, known as TAB.. We lived within a block of each other and the church and became close friends and played ball 12 hrs a day every day... hill was struggling at the middle school he was going to which was a rough and mediocre inner school, where fights broke out daily.. I was homeschooled at the time for the same reason, my parents moved into the inner city when I was 6 years old to help under privileged youth..

Hill homeschooled with me for a year and a half, which gave me and hill the opportunity to finish our homework very early in the day and go play ball deep into the night.. George played basketball at St. Richards a private catholic school in Indianapolis who allowed him to play even though he didn't go there... He then moved on to Frederick douglass to finish his 8th grade.. Before his freshman season, George and I traveled to UCSB campus in Cali to attend MJ flight school, where George earned recognition from MJ as one of the better young players he had ever seen.. george beat jordan in a shooting contest and was 2 time MVP of the camp for the 2 weeks there.

He went on to play his rookie season of high school at Broad Ripple High school where he made varsity, but did not play much on the senior dominated team.. My father became asst. varsity coach to Coach William Smith, who coached at broad ripple for 20+ years, and such players as Mike Woodson, Smith is now a scout for the Hawks or as of my last information on him. Smith retired from BRHS after Hill's senior year. Seehttp://spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100376&page=2 for more information on Hill's high school career.

Me and george were like brothers growing up and he comes by and visits when he has free time and is in town... I could give a shit about his contract and his money, I want him to be the player he was born to be.. I hope he has a long successful NBA career.. I could give a flying fuck if you negative tools dont believe i know Hill... I don't want a medal for knowing him. or e-respect.. I just figured somebody on here would find the information I have about him interesting.. and I guess when I searched for a spurs fan forum the night he was drafted to see what they were saying about my friend.. I felt l should humanize George to the forums against all the mid-major player, high draft pick hate.

We all wait to see what George will amount to... hes incredibly athletic and talented, its up to him to prove himself and make it at the NBA level.

Jayc, don't feel like you constantly need to keep explaining yourself to some of these posters on the board.
You made your point the first time, and I'm sure there are plenty of people here who believe you....just like there will always be the jerks who feel the need to make a negative comment each and every time.

jayc23 is da man! i like the inside info he gives on George.... just don;t get frustrated... my cousin is my country's NT soccer goalkeeper and no one believes me some times and i grew up with him as a brother... so i know about this kinda situations for you... I AM SURE Hill will thrive in the NBA and he'll be an awesome asset for us :)
