People actually want George Hill? Why? Other than Paul George... no one is getting us close to competing next year.


Might as well stick w/ what we have.... try and trade LMA for an asset at the trade deadline to a team who is trying to contend. If not, just let him walk in the off season. There really isn't anything we can do to get us to championship level contention this offseason. We can marginally improve but doing so will mortgage future flexibility.

[rastaspur]

Patfo might just throw Murray and d white into the fire and see how they handle it. With Houston making big moves, it might be smart to reevaluate that experiment in December and not blow big money on a pg free agent

And Forbes. With Simmons and the corpse of Manu facilitating a lot of the offense. With the plan of Tony coming back mid season. It won't shock me if that happens.

[KDKSpurs24]

Don't want. Would rather play our young point guards.

[TheGreatYacht]

Is Buford the worst deal closer in history? :lol

[TimDunkem]

And Forbes. With Simmons and the corpse of Manu facilitating a lot of the offense. With the plan of Tony coming back mid season. It won't shock me if that happens.No trolling - this is increasingly looking like their plan.

[Nathan89]

Paul George and Blake Griffin are the only pieces that really move the needle now.

[Spurs9]

In b4 they actually sign Rondo.

[Hoops Czar]

In b4 he goes to Minny.

Hopefully, he does. It will prevent RC Buford from doing something very stupid.

[TheGreatYacht]

:lol George Hill is already hosting Club parties, and with Danny Green on the team, all they're missing is Dejuan Blair to get the 2011 loser band back together...

True.

The defense could be much improved going that route and offset some of the offensive hit.

I don't see any potential trades that will make the spurs a legit contender. Develop the young guys and see what the wish list or holes needed to be filled at the allstar break or after the end of the season.

If they sign a pg then I am leaning towards teodosic. Otherwise, stand pat on pg for now and let patty walk

[Robz4000]

Hopefully, he does. It will prevent RC Buford from doing something very stupid.

Same.

[gambit1990]

yeah, maybe i'll sign him. for $8 million a year. and that's after i try signing shaun livingston first.

[Laughing Gravy]

Hill lost me when he started dying his hair blonde. We dont need that kind of faggotry.

[Atl Spur]

GH3 is actually a great pickup to pair with Kawhi; he can play off the ball and hit jump shots. Health is the only concern but the way we manage minutes I think we would be just fine. The defense......crazy Hill, Simmons, Leonard all can play + defense.

As long as it doesn't come with the ST sock puppet account named after him

Do they have room for Fathead and his son? They have 2 spots to fill

[DAF86]

Depends on the price, tbh. Wouldn't like to jeopardize our chance at making a big time move in the 18/19 offseason because of George Hill, tbh.

[Play Boban]

Should I celebrate that we get an above average point guard on the wrong side of 30 tbh?

[Atl Spur]

I was born in San Antonio but have lived in Atlanta for 20+ years now, and from what I read on here is most of you don't understand these are just people. This type of small town thinking is exactly what keeps players from wanting to subject themselves to hyper criticism. Money affords pro players more than the average person but they are still just people. Who gives a fuck what this dude does in his time away from the court to enjoy life...... let him live. Some of you are just internet clowns that don't deserve to have such a great team to root for. Experience a Sacramento fans expectation year in and year out and tell me how you feel.......

[TimDunkem]

Hill still sucks.

[TimDunkem]

Also, it doesn't exactly help the Spurs when Danny chooses to go clubbing every off-season instead of learning how to dribble a basketball.

[Atl Spur]

Hill still sucks.

Mate, no offense, but I feel that I work harder than Aldridge. Why the fuck should I show him any respect????? He's getting a shit ton of money and not putting in the required effort or work in. If I was able to get a hold of him, I'd rip him to shreds mentally. I've had two weeks vacation in 10 years (I don't recommend it). Fuck that lazy ass motherfucker. He gets 4-6 months off and he can't put in the required effort for 20 million dollars (I wish I could get 4 months off of work per year so that I can train and workout, that would be awesome). Sorry, but you're way off base. Most of these NBA players are lazy shits that won the genetic lottery. A lot of them have an average work rate.

[TimDunkem]

Please. We've seen this movie before. The guy doesn't make the Spurs much better and ruins your cap situation for the next few years. PASS.

So you agree that a little criticism about Danny's yearly off-season routine is warranted? He can hardly dribble and run at the same time, ffs.

I was actually speaking towards the way people spend their off season/free time! If your free time actions affect your work performance a firing is probably in order NBA Player and/or normal Joe. No arguments here.....

Don't change the narrative. I did not start a thread about Danny Green. GH3 and how he can help the spurs is the topic at hand.

George Hill's "improvement":

2016 - 12.1ppg, 3.5apg :td

Pfft.

[Chinook]

He doesn't assist enough for me. If he were at like nine 10 assist per 36, he'd make sense. But for his number, I'd need him nearer to the 20pp36 mark.

[elemento]

That would be the typical Popovich move.

I wonder how big the meltdown will be once the Spurs give George Hill a 100m dollars contract.

[Dex]

Patfo might just throw Murray and d white into the fire and see how they handle it. With Houston making big moves, it might be smart to reevaluate that experiment in December and not blow big money on a pg free agent

Too early to fold to GSW and Houston and just concede the league to them. At the very least, the FO needs to show Kawhi that they can put a competitive squad around him, and I don't think rolling the dice with a green point guard and a rookie sets the table well.

If he becomes malcontent and bolts, the Spurs are really screwed.

[FkLA]

Who else are we getting? Even next year?

Stars don't like SA. Sad but true. That's partly why I held out hope for LMGay for so long even when the writing was on wall that he was a bitch. We just don't land coveted FAs. I mean CP3 just chose Haren and Pringles over Kawhichael and PopaGOAT ffs. Blake and PG13's names are being thrown around but this just isnt a superteam destination. Gotta go the sum of all parts route like '14 or get get lucky in the draft, tbh.

[Dex]

:lol Fuck Houston. Ain't nobody scared of them.

Hey, I agree. I don't think this trade makes them significantly scarier. They reached their final D'Antoni form with Harden running the point, and this totally changes their dynamic.

Still, the public is going to be slobbering over a team with Harden and Paul all year, and two players of their caliber isn't an easy out by any means. They'll be one to contend with in the playoffs.

[Atl Spur]

Did you forget what you just said about the off-season? :lol

I need you to keep up homie. The whole offseason thing stemmed from George Hills party post.........

[TimDunkem]

"Keep up".

Says the guy wanting retreads like Hill. :lmao

[cjw]

He doesn't assist enough for me. If he were at like nine 10 assist per 36, he'd make sense. But for his number, I'd need him nearer to the 20pp36 mark.

He was at 19+ per 36 last year and three seasons ago (he sucked a season ago, hopefully an aberration?). Utah also played at snail's pace so it's more like 20 on a team with average pace.

He is a 40%+ three point shooter each of the past two years, which is a huge plus.

[tholdren]

:lol George Hill is already hosting Club parties, and with Danny Green on the team, all they're missing is Dejuan Blair to get the 2011 loser band back together...

I don't trust contract years. Hill either needs to make guys like Green and LMA better or be a bona fide second option.

[Dex]

We really should see the writing on the wall.

We know Hill is leaving Utah. Rumors have already floated that SA and he have mutual interest. Pop loves him and needs someone he can slot into the system immediately. Spurs didn't make any of the moves required to bring in Paul, but Gasol's opt out lets them afford a cheaper option (like Hill).

Now we are days from free agency and suddenly, both the Spurs and Hill have gone silent.

Dude is going to be putting pen to pad at 12:01AM July 1st.

I second that. The whole win now is why most teams in the league are crippled with bloated contracts. If CP was in his mid to late 20's then it would make sense. See LMA, Pau (if he had opted in), Dick J, Charles smith, etc

[baseline bum]

GH3 is actually a great pickup to pair with Kawhi; he can play off the ball and hit jump shots. Health is the only concern but the way we manage minutes I think we would be just fine. The defense......crazy Hill, Simmons, Leonard all can play + defense.

The defense is my biggest worry with him. In his Spurs time I never saw someone so horrible guarding screens. It's like you merged the Parker + Gasol pick and roll defense into a single player.

[urunobili]

Don't want. I shot a better percentage than him at the Indiana State Fair in front of his family trying to win a jersey for his nephew...

[spursistan]

If they whiff on Hill or fail to get small discount out of him, PATFO are done in my book..

[apalisoc_9]

I dont want hill. If he accepts a discount. Maybe.

Otherwise, he won't be getting more than 17 per if I was coach

I was the first one to throw the idea of Leonard displeasure and I think it's a greater possibility than what people would imagine. Poop gets all the credit in this organization.

But I'd go for Blake-Jrue before I'd go for hill.

Specially since you might get jrue who is younger at a cheaper price.

[NASpurs]

I agree, but according to Windhorst, Holiday could get in $30M range from desperate, win now Pelicans. They can't afford to lose him because they'd lack adequate means to sign sufficient replacement.

Point is, whatever prominent name(s) it is you or anyone wants, everyone has to wrap their head around the money or years, if it's an aging player, being extreme. So if you say you wouldn't give them their reported market value, what you're really saying is, you don't want any of them period (not just this off season) and are content with mostly status quo.

Hill might be the one exception because they're more than likely his first choice and his market is difficult to predict.

----------------------------------------

How about Hayward and Millsap?

[TimDunkem]

I'd love Hayward and either Millsap or Griffin (assuming he could stay healthy).

Doubtful any of those guys want to play here, however...

Edit: The Spurs would also likely have to get rid of LMA and Green or Parker. And we all know the Spurs won't move the latter. :lol

[daslicer]

Don't want him since he's going to command over 100 plus mil on the open market and he's in his 30's. I'm not a fan of paying max contracts to PG's in their 30's. That's the position that experiences the quickest decline once the 30's hit.

[Hoops Czar]

George Hill isn't taking no pay cut. He's 31 and this will probably have his very last opportunity to cash in. He's going to try and get every dime that he possibly can from any team that's willng to bid for his services.

[timtonymanu]

Always said he was the most realistic option to come here. Yuck though because he's so damn injury prone.

[therealtruth]

He's good kryptonite for Chris Paul and that's it.

I think that the salary mentioned there was towards Simmons.

[Joseph Kony]

I think that the salary mentioned there was towards Simmons.
You're right, although i think that may be a low number. I know there is a restriction on how much he can be offered by i would imagine some team will offer it to him and spurs will probably match it

[DPG21920]

You're right, although i think that may be a low number. I know there is a restriction on how much he can be offered by i would imagine some team will offer it to him and spurs will probably match it

He's subject to Gilbert Arenas Rule so 8M or so sounds about right.

[Joseph Kony]

I could have sworn the max he could get was like 10-12 million per? if that's the case i definitely see someone offering it to him and him taking it, being that this is his first chance to get a real contract

[GSH]

He's subject to Gilbert Arenas Rule so 8M or so sounds about right.

Is it that low for Simmons? Well they'll match that, unless they really have a whale on the line. If someone tenders an offer, the Spurs only have a couple of days to match or pass, right?

[sasaint]

Would be the death offense as well

Maybe not a bad offense at all if you replace "X" with a very good offensive-minded PF. Hmm...Bertans?

I liked GH back in the day. But I never thought it was a great idea for him to come back. I hope he proves me wrong.

[Taking it to the Hole]

No one is coming to the Spurs this offseason. PATFO are going to give overpay Pau on a long term contract. They are going to roll with a sophomore and rookie point guard until TP heals, Green won't be traded, and they are keeping a disgruntled Aldridge. They probably will lose Simmons, Mills, and Lee in free agency. Oh, and Manu will come back for one more year taking more than the vet minimum as salary and eating whatever left we have of our cap space. So this is shaping up to be a typical Spurs summer.

[Chucho]

Spurs also don't have to subject him to Arenas (leaving a potential ballon overpayment when Kawhi is due his supermax which wouldn't be wise)... they can choose to pay him with cap if they have it i believe... the question is will they have it. maybe their big FA signing is JSimms.

[Chucho]

No one is coming to the Spurs this offseason. PATFO are going to give overpay Pau on a long term contract. They are going to roll with a sophomore and rookie point guard until TP heals, Green won't be traded, and they are keeping a disgruntled Aldridge. They probably will lose Simmons, Mills, and Lee in free agency. Oh, and Manu will come back for one more year taking more than the vet minimum as salary and eating whatever left we have of our cap space. So this is shaping up to be a typical Spurs summer.

And they will still finish second in the West, around 60 games, and people will still bitch and complain because we didnt sign a CP3 or Sisqo Hill who wouldnt have improved us much more than what we would have won without them.

:lol you are being cynical.

[Leetonidas]

The spurs have actually made pretty solid moves every summer for the last few years. Too many people are expecting a home run.

[steeledl]

We already were close, if not there. No reason the things that were working in game 1 wouldn't continue to work. It's not like we shot 90% or something. We could've played even better.

You obviously believe we are a lot closer to competing with the Warriors over a 7 game series than I or most NBA fans. From where I stand, we'd have got game 1 and maybe one more. It wouldnt have been a close series. Obviously I'd rather you be right.

Hoping more than expecting. There has never been such a disparity in the top team and the 2nd best team and a home run is what we needed to close the gap. Given that landscape, I just want to resign Simmons and roll this roster out next year. Get as much as you can for LMA during the season and go from there. I know everyone wants to win now but that isn't really a realistic option for the upcoming year.

Paul George is probably the only guy I would have went for the home run with and then prayed we could resign him.

[Taking it to the Hole]

:lol you are being cynical.

I know that I am but cynicism often contains truth in it. I never really expected Paul to sign with us but did not think he would sign with our division rivals. That puts us at a significant disadvantage in our matchups with them. I almost would prefer we stay pat because when the Spurs make big moves in a hurry, it usually backfires on us. Right now, maybe we can improve our team enough to contend with the Warriors but I just don't see us beating them in a seven game series. Kawhi needs help and LMA needs to step up because he was supposed to be the second star to carry our team to the Finals.

Fu k dude lol what a dismal outlook and probably 60 percent chance of the whole thing happening.

The Schwami is that you?

[alpha_HaZE]

I don't trust contract years. Hill either needs to make guys like Green and LMA better or be a bona fide second option.


Hill will be an upgrade, because of his length, size and, athleticism. He scored with high efficiency (top 10 in the league) and was playing at his best when playing off the ball. With Kawhi's high usage percentage (Kobe Level's) and LMA needing more touches, GH3 is the perfect player to fill that position. No one that understands basket-ball is surprised CP3 chose the Rockets and not us.

If we were to compete against the Rockets, the Warriors, and the Cavs, we need a point guard that can defend guys like CP3, Harden, Steph, and Kyrie. George Hill helps us do just that. Defense at 1, with Tony and Patty being average defenders, was a huge liability for us.

George Hill is familiar with our System and the City, owns a house at San Antonio, and trains at the Spurs facility every summer! I wouldn't be surprised if he signs with the Spurs!

TP's best defense has always been his offense. His ability to force other PG's to defend and use energy. That's an important part of the strategy against a guy like Steph. Force him to wear out his legs defending then he won't have the lift for his shots.

I think the Spurs have enough talent when Kawhi is healthy yet I think it's smart to get him help so he doesn't have the weight of the team on his ankles. TP showed flashes of that in the playoffs when healthy.

The issue with Aldridge is he's not really a competitor (lack of heart). He's guy who prefers to win with talent. The Spurs need a guy who can bring both.

Agreed, but two things; one he is not nearly as good as he used to be in O, and two; more and more teams expose his defense during the last few critical possessions in close games.

I agree Tony will be very useful against the warriors if we meet them again in the playoffs, especially if he is rested and has fresh legs.

Damn, son.

I gotta ask you, did you type out that post while simultaneously holding a gun to your head?

That's a depressed outlook. Made me sad :grim:

[DAF86]

Could he be had for like 10 or 15 mil per year? That's the only way I accept him. I actually think he would do great for us, just not on a star role and he's probably gonna command star money. It just isn't worth it.

If he could be had on a Danny Green type contract, he would be ideal. He's the type of player we need to compete with GS: long for his position and solid at both end of the floor without any glaring flaw.

[gambit1990]

yeah, welcome back home... to indiana.

[TimDunkem]

I just don't see George Hill giving up 10-15 mill a year.

Curry won't be guarding Parker. Klay will. And we've seen how length on the perimeter (i.e. Thabo Sefolosha) has neutered Parker in the past.

[gambit1990]

same. tbh, i'd wanna pay him $8 to $12.

yep.

these past playoffs... if tony allen was healthy and i'm grizzlies, i don't put him on kawhi... i'd put him on parker. let conley guard green and he'd save more energy.

[FkLA]

Utah acquiring Rubio. Minny emerging as the favorite to sign Lowry. The stars are aligning for GH3's return. :wow

agree, but you can never plan out injuries, and GS has been pretty lucky the last few seasons with injuries unlike a lot of teams tbh...it's their time

[Big Empty]

Hill at 19m compared to CP3 at 35/40m is a bargain. Hill/Simmons/Leonard/Aldridge/Gasol is a stout line up. This is assuming we unload Green. Our bench would be a big question mark though. A ton of young talent that cant shoot.

I don't see how the LMGay situation is salvageable. That bridge was burned.

Don't want. Would rather play our young point guards.

Gasol should NOT be starting... Have u seen his defense and energy??

This is why we need Rose on a cheap deal, to lead the bench, de facto taking over Manu's role.

George Hill's "improvement":

2017 - 16.9ppg, 4.2apg :tu

He's on pace for a down year, and at 31.... he's looking at a lot of down years from here on out

Dude turned down a great extension offer from the Jazz and ended up in one of the worst organizations in sports on a worse deal. It's understandable he'd be salty. Fox will be taking over at PG before the all star break too.

Not the brightest guy around, tbh. From the bleached hair, to turning down $88M, to spending his summers in the SA club scene...

Now he's a 31yr old stuck in Sacramento with Fox and Mason breathing down his neck.

Agreed that Hill doesn't come across as the sharpest tool in the box..He's got completely ruined by his agent..It was hilarious miscalculation of the state of market and and his own pedigree and reputation around the league on their part..

Meanwhile, It so far looks like the Spurs may have dodged a bullet by not committing big money to these +30yo PGs (Paul, Lowry, Hill)..They are already either breaking down, declining or stinking it up after signing the cheque..
