Would you trade George Hill for Aaron Brooks?

[Spursmania]

No.

[sook]

You really think Brooks is all that? I mean, it's not like we're comparing GH to CP3 and saying "no we won't make that trade".

Brooks is an ultra-quick score first lead guard, but he's a shrimp and doesn't play much D. GH is also a better long range shooter. He's 4-5 inches taller (for real) with a much bigger wingspan.

you are VERY wrong in believing that george hill is the better long range shooter. Aaron Brooks is the best 3 pt shooter on the team, and one of the best I have seen in a rockets uni. But its the range that makes him so good, he'll pull up for a 3 way behind the line and drain it like its nothing, almost every single game.

If it weren't from brook's shooting ability, he would be a mediocre guard. Its his shooting that has really been helping him this season, and he's shown just how good at that he is when we got martin and he could actually pass to someone who could make a shot and help him get open.

This thread is a joke right. You fools actually think Hill is the better player.

And I seriously I can't believe there are people ready to toss Tony Parker in the dumpster for Hill. Wake up.

See the data when Rockets vs Spurs.

Umm, yeah.....saw it. So what. Brooks outplayed him in most the games. You give us a big man and Houston wins the series instead of splitting it despite Yao being gone.

Seriously what the are y'all smoking...especially the people who think he's already better than Parker. :

Again, Hill > Parker and Brooks = (aka absolute laughter)

So? You got Scola from us, and still keep losing and losing. And I promise, with Yao slowing down the speed, AB's score would get straight down.

[Bruno]

Right now, Brooks is better than Hill and it isn't even close.

However, I wouldn't trade Hill for him for two reasons:
First, Spurs have Parker and Hill is way better fit to play alongside Parker than Brooks is.
Second, Hill can still improve. He maybe will never be as good as Brooks currently is but he should get closer to Brooks' level.

Who the was talking about Scola and Yao being out there would've changed the outlook of alot of games. Seriously do you honestly think is Duncan had to sit out the entire year that George Hill would've lead y'all to a winning record? ( at the "keep losing and losing" comment.....we're down all kinds of players and have only lost 8 more games than y'all)

This poll result is homerism at it's absolute finest.

Again like I said above...Hill > Parker and Brooks = (aka absolute laughter)

His D is terrible. Not saying Hill > Brooks, but his D is pretty bad.

Umm, Brooks is only 25...only about a year older than Hill...and he's playing his first real full year as the starting PG. To act like he can't improve is nieve at best.....especially since that's all he's done over the last couple of weeks.

[Tmac&Luther]

His D is terrible. Not saying Hill > Brooks, but his D is pretty bad.

Hill's defense would be pretty bad too if he didn't have Duncan playing behind him

For Christ's sakes our best big man is a 6'6 center with a bum knee.

[Tmac&Luther]

FACT.

If Morey was stupid enough to offer Brooks for Hill straight up, your G.M. would trip over himself running across the room and he wouldn't be able to sign on the bottom line fast enough. Luckily Morey would never be that stupid.

[George Gervin's Afro]

I was kidding. He is a good player, but he is getting Manu Ginobili treatment when it comes to being overrated to jordan status.

My bad. I am the dummy in this case..

right..the spurs love one dimensinal players..good call..

Really!, because that's all they've been trading for recently. Richard Jefferson says high. How about the "red rocket"

Last time I checked Houston didn't have any defensive problems when they had a true "big man" in the paint.

last time i checked houston sucked.. great defense you guys have! We'll stick with an all around good player and you guys can have your 5'8 shooting guard..

the thing with the Houston Rockets and their supporters is that they make a super hullaballoo about how their squad is a bunch of no-namers who have done so well despite their low salaries and little hype about them generally.

What I find with such hype about the Rockets' "Moneyball" is that they have done nothing great - they weren't even close to making the playoffs finally and some of the signees in the offseason were poor duds- David Anderson and Trevor Ariza for e.g. So for all the tom-tomming of Daryl Morey, their squad has done nothing much at all. You could cut some slack for Yao's injury; but I guess everyone cuts too much slack with them.

And by the way, George Hill has more upside than Aaron Brooks. Brooks is a speedster and a tough offense guy, but Hill with his long arms can be a two way threat that Brooks won't be.

[Lars]

. You could cut some slack for Yao's injury

Appreciate the slack you gave us for our franchise player, who anchors our entire offense and defense, being out for the entire season.

[ATRAIN]

NO but ill trade Parker for Scola and Brooks

[rascal]

No Hill is a future allstar in the league.

[Leetonidas]

What sane Spurs fan would trade Hill for Brooks? Only Rocket homers are loling at this because they really think Brooks is better. While I will admit he is probably a better scorer and ball handler right now, that's about all that he is better than Hill at. George is longer, stronger, taller, a waaaaaay better defensive player, and he's no offensive slouch himself. I'm sorry, but undersized scoring guards are a dime a dozen in this league. Tough-nosed, hard-working 6'3" combo guards with the ability to run point and play very good defense as well as rebound the ball are a lot harder to find.

We weren't supposed to do this year. we weren't even supposed to have a winning record this year and here we sit above .500 and only 8 games behind your ass, who was supposed to compete for a freaking le after the great "Richard Jefferson trade" You really want to talk about hype and letdowns.

Think about it, y'all couldn't really pull away from us in a year where y'all were supposed to be one of the best teams in the leauge and your team is getting old as dirt, Duncan is getting old......who do you really think is going to have the better year next year?

Oh so now all Brooks is, is a undersized SG......but Hill is a "combo guard" the blatant homerism here is deafening. Stop listening to Butt cake.....Brooks is easily out assisting Hill. If anything Hill is a SG that y'all are trying to force to play point.

[DPG21920]

8 games is a pretty huge gap.
