He was traded to the Pacers.
He was traded to the Pacers.
um why?
Um, to move up like 13-14 spots in the draft and get our SF of the future.
Because he's incredibly inconsistent and overrated (by the likes of you) and was able to be traded for a SF that will eventually take over the starting spot.
Did you happen to miss draft day 2011?
yeah was there a game-day like thread for the draft?
He's trolling. Move along now.
This being a troll thread or not, I will watch more Pacers games this season just to keep up with what George is doing ...
It was heart breaking to see him go. George was an incredible member of the community, and showed some flashes of brilliance on the court. Him standing up to Kobe was one of my favorite George Hill moments. He should thrive in Indiana, I hope he gets his chance to shine.
And I'm praying Kawhi Leonard is all he's hyped up to be.
He was too inconsistent. That airball 3 against Memphis said it all to me. Same story last year playoffs. Starts slow in Mavs series but plays excellent when Pop tells him to just play his game. Then Suns series he lays a big egg by allowing Steve Nash to waltz around him in the opener. In fact I think if we had started that series better we probably win game 1 and maybe the series. The Suns winning game 1 win shifted the momentum too much.
He wasn't a true PG and his lack of height hurt defensively.
what do i do with my george hill jersey now?
I would really miss the George from two years ago, but last year's George is very replaceable.
I will watch a couple of games then move on just as I did with Jax.
Hill had some decent aggressive moves when he felt like it. Last year he must have felt like he was a made man, because he went RJ a bit. I've never thought of him as a PG. He's a 2 guard. His court vision is worse than Tony's and that's saying a lot.
I am only able to watch the NBA games regularly since League Pass was introduced outside the USA. So George is the first Spur leaving the team that I care about. It will be interesting which role he will take in Indiana.
I loved George Hill a lot! However, I realized that I liked the idea of George Hill more than his actual production. He is a great guy and has a lot to bring to the team. However, ultimately he did not have the balls it takes to perform in the playoffs. That is what our championships are built around. Players with balls.. the horrys/mario elies speedy claxtons stephen jacksons... i can go on and on. I don't think George is that guy, so while he was a good defender, I was fine with taking a risk on another defensive player with balls at a position that desperately needs them.
Hill got raped by the likes of Conley and Vasquez when he should have demolished them both. Good riddance
why in the we still have Parker, , Bonner and Blair is beyond me. Blow this ing team up
I'm a big fan of Hill, but I understand why he was traded. He was a really great guy and a decent player, but he took a step back last season compared to his 2010 production. At times, he played aggressive and didn't overthink too much but there were other times where he made too many mistakes and missed his shots.
Also with the emergence of Gary Neal and the potential James Anderson has, Hill became expendable. Keeping all 3 guys who have no point guard abilities and aren't true small forwards would be redundant.
ehh he was replaceable now.
ill have more fun watching kawhi
lol preseason meltdown
same ole SpursTalk
they were just doing business. (they did a good job btw.)
Hill was a regular rotation player for a million per. that was a great deal. next year he would have asked for money in the MLE area, money the Spurs not gonna pay him. so he's no longer a good deal. Hill is worth the million, maybe 2 or 3, but not 5. at 25 it was obvious that he has reached his ceiling.
businesswise this was the best moment to trade him.
a #15 pick, a 2nd rounder and the rights for a maybe decent player (if he ever comes over).
great job FO. all the best for George Hill. it was just time to leave. his years with the Spurs will have been the best for his career.
