Re: Spurs really close to a deal?..
:lol Just because Hill might be able to score 20 PPG one day does not mean TP is on the table. They have nothing to do with each other.

Re: Spurs really close to a deal?..
the more likely scenario is that hill is on his way out and the spurs need a backup to replace him.

Re: Spurs really close to a deal?..
Oh I'm not saying TP is on the table. I'm saying it's not THAT far-fetched with how well Hill is playing. Hill seems to be an able replacement.
Most of the rumours all focus on Manu (out of the big 3) due to his contract. But TP being a part of the deal does make some sense as well.
If the Spurs trade up Tony for a star big man like Bosh (a Texas native), that's a pretty great deal considering they'll have Hill. And Tony's locked into his contract so the Raptors would have some longevity.
Far-fetched I agree but it does make some sense.

I think Hill could be 20 points a night, he is pretty efficient and he's very fast.
Hill definitely has the tools to do that, be a 20 point player. I agree.
Man if you guys got Hill and Blair you would be TOO sick. lol.

Don't tease me man. You know the Lakers suck at PG...a great defender and good offense Hill would be a god send :lol

Re: Spurs really close to a deal?..
The more likely scenario is that Pop is committed to moving Hill into the starting SG spot so he will need a back up PG.
Maybe, Dorrell Wright and Carlos Arroyo?

Pop loves Hill, but the Spurs don't think he's a point guard. So I don't think they'd trade their starting point guard unless they we were getting a starting point guard back.

I personally love Hill at PG but hate him at SG. Don't quite understand Pop sometimes but he has 4 rings I suppose. :lol

You must not watch a lot of Spurs games. He isn't a very good PG at all. He has flashes, but not much there in terms of PG skills.
-
Re: Spurs really close to a deal?..
I don't think Hill's gonna be traded. But perhaps Pop has been talking him up lately to increase his perceived value around the league.

Hills sucks at the PG. he is a SG and shouldnt even be played at the point, just like roger.

Who was the guy on the Lakers that wanted to draft him? I recall Phil saying some really good things about George after that last Spurs vs Lakers game. Was Phil the guy looking at him or you think someone else from the scouting department?

I watch almost every Spurs game.
Pop likes going small ball; and I don't like it. I prefer Hill at PG; I think he just needs more experience to run the offense better.

Re: Spurs really close to a deal?..
Anyway, as to the topic of who the forward is...
:hungry: Antawn Jamison :hungry:
[/pipedream]
-
Re: Spurs really close to a deal?..
Maybe it is Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman :lmao
:p:
-
Re: Spurs really close to a deal?..
Jamison would officially turn us into the old Suns IMO..
-
Re: Spurs really close to a deal?..
jamison and crittenton. gonna be a shooting clinic
-
Re: Spurs really close to a deal?..
You would think Pop wouldn't play whoever is going to be traded if this is imminent, as it seems to be. Yet, we pretty much played all our expirings against Sacto tonight. I wouldn't hold my breath on this.

I don't remember who it was but the Lakers were indeed trying to move up in the draft to get George Hill.
But the Spurs snagged him first.

Crittenton is suspended for the rest of the year and most likely will be waived if he tries to appeal.

Nocioni and Sergio Rodriguez :stirpot:

I think WASH has said the ONLY big piece not available is 'Tawn. Maybe Butler is the forward? And Foye is the PG? [/pipedream]

See, I have gone back and forth on this, and have come to the conclusion that I would like this. But almost no one agrees. He would not be my first choice, but I would like all things considered.
What is your take on this "rumor" and have you heard anything that you are willing to talk about?
