George Hill back to SPURS?

[illusioNtEk]

Make it happen RC....

George Hill
J Simmons
KL
LMA
Pau Gasol

[DJR210]

:lol

[Jdspur20]

That line up would be insane

[Kikoluna]

I wish, I always wonder how we can get him back

[Ditty]

It's been known for a while from a lot of his close friends that he wants to come back to San Antonio when his contract is up :lol

[jermaine]

My last memory of him as a Spur was him not backing fown from Kobe...

[timtonymanu]

It's been known for a while from a lot of his close friends that he wants to come back to San Antonio when his contract is up :lol

He must be wanting to play here even more since his hometown traded him to the Mormons :lol

[NASpurs]

I posted this yesterday in the Jazz trade thread:

http://www.sltrib.com/sports/4036340-155/utah-jazz-acquire-pacers-guard-george (http://www.sltrib.com/sports/4036340-155/utah-jazz-acquire-pacers-guard-george)


Bill Neff, George Hill's agent, was candid about his client's love for the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday afternoon. He was drafted by the Spurs. And even if he was traded to the Indiana Pacers from San Antonio, his intent a few years ago was to go back in free agency. He would've if the Spurs had more salary cap space.

...

[Keepin' it real]

George Hill back to SPURS?

While they're at it, bring back Blair, Ayres and Mason Jr.

[Chucho]

Why, WHY want someone back from the dark days? NOOOOOO thanks. Only pussies and assholes would even consider wanting a "PG" who can't pass, dribble or shoot. And now he looks like a fucking idiot with that Sisqo look.

All that and you didn't even bring up his most photogenic moment... ?? LOL!!

[Spur|n|Austin]

While they're at it, bring back Blair, Ayres and Mason Jr.

Because those players are all on the same level and had the same love in SA..

[JR3]

I even heard it on my he radio here in Utah that George hill would rather be in San Antonio

[UNT Eagles 2016]

While they're at it, bring back Blair, Ayres and Mason Jr.

Not Ayres. McDyess and Centerpiece, tbh.

[tholdren]

Pg in the nba who averages less than 4apg and less than 3 in the playoffs? Manu's worst PER is better than Hills Average. He can't pass, and can't score, how in the hell would he help the spurs?

I agree... and I don't think the Spurs are interested especially at 8mil. His main benefit is he can play some defense and shoot threes.

[siraulo23]

Hell no, i still have nightmares of nash destroying him

[Chucho]

If you want George Hill and Bertrans in your starting lineup, youre either a radical muslim, fucking retarded, a faggot or possibly all three.

[Obstructed_View]

Would rather have Kyle as the starting point guard. Georgie sucks.

[baseline bum]

My last memory of him as a Spur was him not backing fown from Kobe...

Most of my memories of him are of him not being able to get around screens and getting torched by guards that use them heavily.

[cjw]

Hill is fine a year from now as a backup hybrid guard to spell the new PG and Green. Can't rely on him to start well into his 30s.

I'd welcome him back at the right price.

[Obstructed_View]

Most of my memories of him are of him not being able to get around screens and getting torched by guards that use them heavily.

He had that one regular season game where he got the steal and dunk off Kobe and we all thought he was going to be a good defender. Then we saw him in the playoffs two or three times.

LOL. O_V has the most amazing memory sometimes.

Yeah it's pretty unheard of for a role player to get torched by two-time MVPs. A good signal that Hill is a scrub

[tholdren]

This one needs to be hanging from the rafters. CLASSIC

[therealtruth]

Hell no, i still have nightmares of nash destroying him

That Suns series was lost pretty much on the first few possesions when Nash destroyed him. It just gave the Suns the confidence they needed for the sweep. I really think Pop should have started TP for that series.

[Spurtacular]

I moved on from George Hill, tbh.

[urunobili]

we should pull a reverse praying dog meme TBH

[hooperflash]

Ooo-eee Poo-eee!

[tonight...you]

He must be wanting to play here even more since his hometown traded him to the Mormons :lol
Your avi is the most awesomeness thing that holds... awesome.
Point being- great avi.

[illusioNtEk]

If spurs want a chance of signing a big time FA like Durant we will need good solid roll players... and I honestly think hill can fill that spot

[Obstructed_View]

LOL. O_V has the most amazing memory sometimes.

Thank you, but that was Georgie's one real career highlight. I bet there's actually video of it out there.

[T Park]

Not sure if serious

[DMC]

George Hill, a PG with almost zero court vision who gets trapped in the corner very easily. His highlight at SA was pointing at Kobe.

No thanks.

[DMC]

It's called defense

Spurs had the best defense in the NBA last season. Their offense struggled at times. Yeah, we need to sacrifice offense for more defense because team's are playing half court games.

Like defense.. we need offense though.

[Obstructed_View]

Not sure if serious

Kyle Anderson was a better point guard than George when he was still at UCLA.

[bdictjames]

He can still be a pretty good back-up point guard in this league, I'm sure another team will pick him up (Washington???)

[DMC]

That's what we want, a PG no other team will pick up. The solid reasoning here is mind numbing.

[illusioNtEk]

Fuck you guys who flamed me..... now you want him back now right?

[RD2191]

:lol

[Chucho]

:lol

He's only getting numbers on a team who's top scorer is out. He will balance out by season's end to a little bit above average. But whatever helps you feel good about yourself,even though you're "right" for >10 games when he has been nothing but pedestrian for an entire career. Flip Murray made people believe for 1 season he was better than what history had shown us, this is Hill's "Flip Murray" season.

[DJR210]

His highlight at SA was pointing at Kobe.

:lol

[TheDoctor]

Fuck you guys who flamed me..... now you want him back now right?

It's called desperation

[Gagnrath]

Honestly a starting pg who is a little bit above average is what the spurs need. When you have an all-star PF. An MVP candidate 3 and two above average players at the 2 and 5 you don't really want a super high usage all star type point guard. You want a hard working guy a bit above average who might get voted into the all star game on his career peak year. Other wise there just won't be enough ball to go around. Or enough salary to ensure a good bench after rookie contracts.

[tholdren]

Kyle Anderson is a terrible PG. NBA PGs should average double digit assists every game now with the offensive rules and literally one good defender in the league.

[illusioNtEk]

I have a feeling he will be back... plz plz plz

[spursistan]

860991075699245056

Looks like he may have made mistake not extending with the Jazz, tbh. Splitter-level of injury proneness this season--which is alarming going forward.

Bargain deal or good luck! I don't want the Spurs to even think about potentially maxing him..

[gambit1990]

a lot of you wanted him back.

i'm good.

[Nathan89]

Pass.

[spursistan]

With his age and now his health becoming a red flag, he is not a max player even in this market-- more like 14-17 millions $, and even that is risky over 4 years..

[gambit1990]

i take livingston over hill. never wavered on that.

[NASpurs]

With Pop loving the hell out of him, it doesn't matter what we think (not like it mattered either way :lol). Pop and co. will probably go hard after him.

[spursistan]

Missing playoffs games with nagging stuff and costing your team in the process...Pass..

[Hoops Czar]

Spurs must have a secret stash of cash and know of a hidden loophole that allows them to sign a player to a max contract even if they're well over the salary cap.

[jag]

Hill even being discussed as a potential max player is sad for the NBA. Ryan Anderson getting $18-22 million is also sad.

[NASpurs]

Gee what other ways could a team clear up cap space, smart ass?

[Nathan89]

Yeah, the max for star players should be much higher.

[cjw]

Yeah, the max for star players should be much higher.

For our sake (and Cleveland's / Golden State's) we should be glad it's not.

The Aldridge max deal looks even more palatable given it was signed a summer before the huge cap jump. I do wonder with the cap plateauing if deals given out last summer will all become albatrosses and more normalcy ensuing in future years. Amazing to me that the NBA and NBAPA didn't fix contracts to each represent a percentage of the cap so they all went up as the cap rose instead of huge jumps benefiting only certain FA classes.

[tbdog]

Hill rejected a 88mil 4 year deal. Puts things in perspective.

[BSfromTX]

Looking to sign FA's will be impossible. Guys would have to give up a lot of money to play here. Spurs need to look to the draft as well as develop Murray and Bertans.

Why anyone would consider signing Paul or hill for big money when you have Murray for so cheap just doesn't make sense. Spurs would be upside down with Paul in a few years (if not immediately) and would be average at best paying hill serious money.

[kaji157]

You can also go to find an international player that would come for cheap. Teodosic and Campazzo come to mind.

He is a solid role player, that can create his own shot.. He has reached his ceiling talent wise, but still this team needs playmakers, and he can at least due that for us.

BC Tony is injured (is he done?)
and you need to pay Patty anyways.
some would rather just pay Georgie and sent Patty on his way. Georgie is a good shooter, better defender, creator, can play both on and off the ball and a legit starter quality guard until Murray is ready... (Patty is not)... need I say more?
He's also a Spur like player.

[eDizzle20]

Everything depends on Pau. If even opts in it's not even a possibility. If Pau does opt out I'm sure PATFO will meet with Hill, given how much Pop loves him.

I'm still upset at George for missing a wide open 3 pointer in game 6 against Memphis in the 2011 playoffs. He air balled it badly. I think he had trouble with the pressure and he choked on a very makeable shot. I really think if he had made the shot, the Spurs could have won that game and forced a game 7. I just didn't like his play in crunch time when he was on the Spurs. I didn't like his defense on Nash in the 2010 playoffs either. I thought his defense was very overrated by some of the posters here. I really liked George Hill as a person, but I just don't know about him as a player. I didn't like his play in crunch time. Maybe he has toughened up and improved in that area since he left, but if not, I don't think I'd want him back on the team again because I don't fully trust him in those situations.

[Spursmania]

I agree with comments on both sides of this coin. Just hope the front office makes the right decision for the team. I used to like him a lot and remember some of his great plays but I agree with some of his limitations and choking moments. Man, I am torn about this.

[SilverSpur]

He will likely be back. Pop loved him as a player and to get back the player that got you Kawhi is a bonus.
We need guards. Manu and Parker are done. We need another guard and Hill knows the system and Pop would want Hill to mentor Murray, Forbes and possibly Archidiacono.
With those four and Mills would allow us to draft a big man to replace Gasol and Aldridge. Maybe trade up in the draft for Zach Collins of Gonzaga.

He was a lot younger and that was a long bitchass time ago. He's not the best PG in the market but Spurs unlikely can get CP3 and Lowry is a worse playoff choker.

How about being upset with Patty at all the shots he missed last series against OKC, including a potential game winning 3 once Danny stole the ball after the inbounds where Manu was fouled. Everyone has a moment they blew it. Patty has been missing from 3 so far and not doing a good job of setting up offense either. And he's a worse defender.

[tholdren]

As ive said for the past 3 years .... fuck pau

Murray is the future. No GH.

[illusioNtEk]

Thanks Spurs....


Now keep Danny and try to get LeBron next year.

[GSH]

Reading a lot of these comments, I wonder if I'm the only person who watched Patty in the playoffs. :lol I'd like for the Spurs to land a top-tier PG, but that's probably not happening. If they're ready to commit to Murray and Forbes/White at the point, I guess it's okay to blow off Hill. I sure as hell wouldn't want him on some near-max deal, but I also wouldn't say I just don't want him here no matter what.

My ideal scenario is to bring in Beverley to be for Dijon/White what Speedy/Avery were for Tony. I don't know whether that would be doable at all. Send LMA/Danny to the Clips for Beverley/Jordan.

He has 2 seasons left.. Relax. He will stay..

[RD2191]

Says who? He's surrounded by shit. Even Duncan almost left to Orlando. Kawhi is a Cali boy, I could easily see him wanting to join a Cali team to be close to home.

[skulls138]

I just can't see what PATFO are doing, TBH.

Makes 0 sense.Hill was the only FA I was open for but to me it makes sense. FA talent makes everybody excited but more times than not doesnt work. It worked for GS but they were already good b4 KD. Was Cleveland a superteam? Not really, sure Kyrie is good but Love didnt do what he was supposed to do. T Thompson and Jefferson were who were good. Were building from inside out. Do we want another Aldridge?

[Ice009]

How did the talks break off with G. Hill? They were not even supposed to be talking before midnight, were they?


Says who? He's surrounded by shit. Even Duncan almost left to Orlando. Kawhi is a Cali boy, I could easily see him wanting to join a Cali team to be close to home.

Quick question to anyone that might know, your post got me thinking, does Kawhi do much training in San Antonio? It seems the past few off-seasons I have read about him training back home somewhere in California. If he does the majority of his training there, I can see him definitely wanting to move back home full-time.

[dbreiden83080]

Youre correct in that the Spurs can't take for granted that Kawhi won't look around. Can't be blind and expect he'll definitely stay if they can't find or develop another All-Star for him to play with.

There's some major differences between Kawhi and Tim though. TD looked at Orlando after 3 seasons in the NBA iirc. Weren't really roots set down in San Antonio yet. Had the ring but it was a strike year and a plodding offense, also had the major injury on his mind. Kawhi already won a ring against a superteam and was a hair away from going back to back. He'll have been in San Antonio 8 years by the time he's a FA.

And lets face it, the Spurs are damn good despite a bunch of bitches looking at Houston and OKC paper rosters and shitting their jorts. If they continue to be a top 5 club it will be hard to leave where you're comfortable. The grass ain't always greener. Succession plan from Pop to next coach will be key.

[CGD]

Hill got some terrible advice this year. Should not have passed up that jazz extension!! We're the market now?

Unlike Duncan who lived in SA in the off season right from the get go, Kawhi goes back to California every off season.

[Vic Petro]

Unlike Duncan who lived in SA in the off season right from the get go, Kawhi goes back to California every off season.

So do many other NBA players whether they're from LA or not. Besides as long as you're not in a bad weather city, I'm not sure it matters for a guy like Kawhi who isn't doing shit but rest and practice during the season.

Yall are hand-wringing over a Mills deal but you're afraid he'll want to go play with a broke down Blake Griffin at 30+ with an unmovable deal? And nobody wants to play for the Kings ever. If you've been to Sacramento you'd know why. they have the same problem the city of San Antonio has when it comes to attracting FAs.

The Lakers are a legitimate threat but they might blow their load next offseason.

[spursnatic]

Missing playoffs games with nagging stuff and costing your team in the process...Pass..Kawhi did that also..Not sure it was his own doing though..Pop kinda fucked him on that I think?

You think he's ignoring the market? To join the herd of PGs the Spurs have already rounded up?

You don't think Philly would have paid him $24 million instead of Redick? And which PGs on the Spurs roster are the good ones?

[GSH]

All the talk about Hill commanding near-max money has pretty much dried up. Obviously GM's don't read the same analysts as fans. I'm starting to think he'll be getting Mills-like money.

I can't believe there are people still thinking he's coming here, though.

[Mr. Body]

Back to the Pacers?

[sasaint]

You don't think Philly would have paid him $24 million instead of Redick? And which PGs on the Spurs roster are the good ones?

At press time, the "good ones" are unknown/tbd. I said nothing about quality just quantity. You think that the Spurs just used valuable cap space on Patty and still plan to sign GHill as, what, the 5th PG on the roster? Surely you believe that one or more of them would be moved to make room for Hill...

[sasaint]

Back to the Pacers?

When Teague bolted, that's what I thought.

It was odd that the Spurs were talking to him; then talks broke off and they signed Patty immediately.

[GSH]

It was odd that the Spurs were talking to him; then talks broke off and they signed Patty immediately.


My guess is that Hill and his agent were believing that he was due near-max money, and the talks with the Spurs never went that far. I really don't think they "broke off" at midnight, any more than I think they made a snap decision about Mills. They knew they weren't getting anywhere Hill's number, and moved on. They had their deal ready for Patty, and made a point of doing it immediately to send a message that he is wanted. It's not out of the question that they never really wanted Hill more than Patty anyway.

Like most posters on ST, I was guilty of thinking Patty had played himself off the Spurs' roster and onto another team's. Your speculation sounds pretty reasonable once you discard any preconceived idea that the Spurs and Patty were destined to part ways.

I hope you are right, and PATFO doesn't regret signing Patty when GHill signs elsewhere for $15MM.

Patty sure got some bogus advice to reject Utah's extension.

Yeah. Strange. And sad for GHill, who I really like. If we could have had him for Patty's money, that would have been fine by me, even though I really didn't want him for what I expected him to get, and I really want to see Murry promoted to the A-team.

Guy went from getting almost twice as much as Patty just got to possibly accepting a Patty-like deal. Sad. :lol

Maybe he can sign a 1 year deal or a 1+1 and opt out and be a free agent again next off-season?

[21209]

He'll likely sign with the Knicks

Hill has completely played himself here..He and his agent miscalculated his market--probably the biggest loser in this free agency..

:lmao turning down 4 ys/ $70-80 million extension from Utah thinking he was a "max PG" at 31-yo with barely any track record of it and a glass body to boot..ouch..

Ouch!!!!

[dbreiden83080]

But I guess this is what happens, when someone hands a PG that has never made an All Star Team 150 million..

:lmao No shit. I'd be inclined to feel sorry for him if he wasn't ready a multimillion dollar athlete. Like someone said before, he'll find a deal somewhere, but he's more than likely kicking himself right now.

I think he is too shell shocked to even kick himself.

[therealtruth]

He underestimated the market. More PGs that spots available.

[21209]

Missing 33 games last season plus 4 playoff games scared off a lot of teams.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Hill will always have a spot on the Spurs for the right price. PATFO loves collecting PGs.

[Darius Bieber]

Signed with the Kings for three years.

[buttsR4rebounding]

Signed with the Kings for three years.

3 years, $57 million.

Not the 4 years, $80 million he turned down, but he got paid.

Oh my fucking goodness. Wow. Fucking Patty Mills 4 years.

[Mr. Body]

882286850425077760

All y'all dumbasses thought Hill didn't know what he was doing. This board. :lol

[LaMarcus Bryant]

We're so dumb for rushing to re sign Patty

[DPG21920]

All y'all dumbasses thought Hill didn't know what he was doing. This board. :lol

Huh? He turned down 4 years, 80M fully guaranteed for 3 years, 57M with the last year only partially guaranteed. He lost money.

Still a nice pay day though.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

All y'all dumbasses thought Hill didn't know what he was doing. This board. :lol

:lmao Apparently he didn't.

Folks here were talking about scraps. :lol

Dude didn't want to stay in Utah.

[sasaint]

All y'all dumbasses thought Hill didn't know what he was doing. This board. :lol

The guy lost money and traded Utah for Sactown. Wow...

[baseline bum]

Utah is so much better a place to play than Sacramento. Hill is a fucking dumbass.

[baseline bum]

The guy lost money and traded Utah for Sactown. Wow...

Instead of playing with Rudy Gobert in one of the most beautiful cities in America he goes to California's asshole to team up with Willie Cauly-Stein. :lol

[sasaint]

Desperation makes men do strange things. Incoming news: Georgie signing a new agent.

[bic50]

Good. Really didn't want hill back on the Spurs tbh.

[elemento]

His agent is a fucking moron

Refused a 80m extension to stay in Utah just to sign with the most disgruntled franchise in the NBA for 57m/3y and last year isn't even fully guaranteed. :lol

[gambit1990]

Good. Really didn't want hill back on the Spurs tbh.

[therealtruth]

Maybe should have swallowed his pride and gone back to the Jazz to see if the deal was still on the table.

[tholdren]

Nope signed to sac

[Ice009]

They traded for Rubio, though, so I don't think that was a possibility money wise anymore, was it? I don't think Utah would have wanted him for 20M per season after Hayward left anyway, would they have?

There are zero teams besides cleveland that need a game manager at pg to win. Its gsw, boston, cle, spurs. Dont even bother having the nba outside of those 4

[spursistan]

Bump..

Looks like he has fallen off a cliff, tbh..

The Spurs lack of interest in the summer was more than justified even it was more a case of G. Hill camp being delusional..He will live to regret the day he turned down the Jazz 80 millions extension..

[phxspurfan]

Hill is the definition of a volume / big playing time on a bad team player. He would put up 10/6/2 on the Hawks or whatever

[sasaint]

No doubt he as regretted it for some time now.

[Seventyniner]

I thought he could be useful to the Spurs given his 45% 3PT in Sacramento but that appears to be an anomaly, and he hasn't been nearly good enough in other aspects of the game to accommodate a dropoff in his shooting.

Fell off what cliff? That would imply his career ever reached any heights. He has been at the bottom the whole time.

[Hoops Czar]

43 games is an anomaly but 4 isn't? I suggest Google searching the word Anomaly. Lebron is a high usage drama queen and in a lot of cases, can make the players around him look kind of useless. George Hill is no savior but he's miles better than Bryn Forbes and Paddy Mills and he's certainly better than what he's shown thus far in Cleveland.

Bryn outplayed him today and it wasnt close

[Hoops Czar]

Alexey Shved outplayed Kawhi in 2015 and it wasn't really close. Who would you rather have, Alexey Shved or Kawhi Leonard?

1 can wipe their own ass the other is a mute

[Dverde]

I miss Shved. What happened to that kid?

[K...]

I miss Shved. What happened to that kid?

Making good money in Russia.

[illusioNtEk]

Comon pop.... stop fucking around and get him back tbh....

[Mario1976]

He was horrible for Cavs why would Spurs fans want him back 🤦*♂️

[SpurSpike]

He isn't very good and doesn't he have a bad contract?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I understand he's got something like $18M guaranteed this year, and $1M next season.

[BackHome]

Pass

[cd021]

Unless he requests a buyout, not a chance this season.

[SpursDynasty85]

Ok. This is the only realistic option I would be ok with. Assuming his salary this year doesn't affect our future.

[BackHome]

One year only............
