But I contributed on both ends, and at some times, simultaneously (and that's one of those sentences that could come across questionably ...)!1 page of basketball talk, 3 pages of emotalk
Rush's FT% .629 (Which is ironically Timmy's FT% from the 2005-6 season.)
As I see it, he fits right in.
However, there's no way that this is going to happen, now, that it's jinxed.
Not now, now that we've talked about it too much....
That being said (and a Hill fan) I would pull the trigger with Splitter and even swap the 20 to pick up (possibly) Paul George or another SF. Then, I would trade RJ at the trade deadline for peas and a diddle from your Grandma.
(UNLESS, they'll start giving RJ ADD medicine.)
If no Splitter, I imagine we would swing for a big man at 10.
Either way, this is jinxed, now. (Which means it will not happen.)
If the trade overcomes this jinx, the doors of will release Jesus and the Angels will take the mutes off their trumpets and play "Knock On Wood."

lol there are many people without a brain.
Rush isn't that bad of a player btw. Marginal starter... will more than likely end up being a very good role player.
I can see the pacers doing something like this though.. but it wouldn't get the fans to come as the columist is trying to say. People here don't care about the pacers because it really isn't a huge basketball (NBA basketball) town. Even when the Pacers made it to the finals this place didn't really go crazy for them and they had trouble selling out the arena.
Since Reggie left people really can careless about the Pacers.. I've mentioned it before in these threads but they can't even give away Pacer tickets at my work. But I can see the FO trying to do that trade.. But honestly more than likely I see them bringing in another local kid and going after Conley and drafting Haywood.. Hill is from here yeah.. but he isn't going to sell tickets.. Never sold tickets when he was with IUPUI so I really doubt people would care much more with him in a Pacers uni.
The writer is trash though.. his colums suck ass.. Indystar doesn't have many good sport writers.. at least any good ones that aren't working with the Colts. Like I said great example is the simple fact the guy didn't even take the time to see what pick the Clippers have.
It stills feels a like a gamble at times in my head with sending off Hill to Indiana. Talk about adding a new set of players to a complicated system. You guys are talking about
Sending off Hill, a guy that has proven himself in this system yet still needs polish.
Then adding Rush, the #10 and #20, then if we acquire Splitter as well that is a lot of Pop tinkering I will loathe sitting through with his typical rotation experimentation he fiddles with that drive me insane in the regular season. Not to mention the chemistry that was built with our vets with this last season...I'm not saying they looked whole as team but they were beginning to show a sense of playing as a team nearing the end of the season.
I've liked the thoughts in here in regards of bringing Rush in and the thought of adding another 1st round pick in that gives the S.A.F.O. room to bring in the guys they want with their picks.
It's hopeful thinking but involves the pacer jumping on this trade and then the Spurs thinking like its fans.
If you can get the 10th pick in a deep draft and Brandon Rush (a servicable young role player) for Hill you do it. I have a hard time believing you would get anything more.. the only reason I think it is believable that you would get that much is because the Pacers are desperate to try anything to put fans into the seats and the guy in charge is Larry Bird.
.. Rush and either Udok or Cole for Hill.. that would be a pretty damn good haul.
I'm pretty sure you'd have to swap first-rounders or involve De Colo to get it done.
I'd have to agree with you blackjack.
and if they threw in De Colo then well they plays into hand if win now mode for this next season if they went that route with either item along with Hill
Second thought, unsure about that how well that plays into win now mode but whatever.
no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In all seriousness, if they want to get the 10 and Rush, I believe they'd need to send Hill and swap their first-rounders. There could be some additional players or assets added, I've listened to Bird talk pretty highly of Nando, so he could be in the equation when it's all said and done.
I highly doubt the Pacers would give up both Rush and the 10 for only Hill. That'd be a no-brainer for the Spurs (as much as I love him and I know the Spurs love him), which leads one to believe the Spurs aren't giving up enough.
Like I mentioned earlier, prior to my cohort in hijacking, getting Rush into the infamous "centerpiece" role and drafting George (if he's legit in the Spurs' eyes) would conceivably be a great fitting tandem for the future and probably help them more in the short-term than even Hill could -- the Spurs would all of a sudden have plenty of size, youth, athleticism and skill on the perimeter.
But the Spurs are going to have to swap picks and/or involve De Colo to get the Pacers to bite, IMO.
Oh, and . . .
OFF, Phila_!
They should just draft some more white players. Hayward has Pacers written all over him.
It's okay... I'm really out of the loop because I thought TD 21 was in your clique.
My clique is ever-evolving, extremely convoluted and possibly non-existent. But the awards keep 'em around.It's okay... I'm really out of the loop because I thought TD 21 was in your clique.
Hey, Kori, just wanted to ask, has stretch been unbanned from the Spurs forum yet? He wants to take part in the game, but can't do it cause he said he was still banned.It's okay... I'm really out of the loop because I thought TD 21 was in your clique.
I can see Hill going away, even my boy Sean wasn't a Spur his entire career.
DeColo, provided his skill level picks up, makes Hill...slightly expendable.
When it gets down to it, this is about giving Tim a championship level send off. So if George has to go for that to happen, then it happens. If that's what the Spurs think.
And now for your musical enjoyment:
Trust me.. Hayward is there he will be their pick.. there is no doubt in my mind. Bird has this fasination with finding the next great white hype.
Larry Bird told Magic Johnson there will be another Larry Bird. He is grasping to that tiny little hope that there will be. So he keeps searching.
i don't know how rush got thrown in to the conversation. obviously, hill + pick 20 for rush and pick 10 is a no brainer. the pacers will likely spurn the offer. sure the spurs can throw in de colo but de colo isn't anything special and still in europe.
the deal with the nuggets sounds much more plausible. if his information is correct, then a straight up #10 for lawson seems like a fair deal. i don't know why the nuggets want to trade their backup/future starting pg though. maybe they are not confident in lawson but billups is getting up there in age.
i too would like to see a return of rush and the 10th pick for hill, de colo, and the 20th. it would leave the spurs without a backup pg but hill isn't really a pg anyways. hill returning to indiana as a hero would be a pretty nice story. maybe that will convince the pacers to make the trade
Really? That's the trade I think is farthest from happening. Larry Bird giving Denver the 10th pick in this years draft for Lawson is Bird saying "Wow I really messed up by not taking Lawson last year when I could of." REALLY don't see that trade happening for that simple reason.
i've read rumors about the pacers contacting the nuggets and pacers, not the spurs. there has been no talk, other than the reporter's thoughts that the pacers should be interested in hill, let alone enough interest to deal rush and the 10th pick. also, the nuggets seem to be actively shopping lawson for a high draft pick. the number 10 for lawson wouldn't be that high of a price.
It would be a GM on the hot seat giving away a lotto pick for someone that he should of drafted and admitting that he shouldn't of drafted Tyler.. Totally not happening.
meh, it's not like he's swapping tyler plus the 10th pick for lawson. using the 10th to draft another big after hibbert and tyler would be the more awful option.
Not really.. Hibbert is a foul a min and Tyler.. well who knows what is going to be left of his career with his inner ear problem. But I guess we'll just agree to disagree. I will say that would be damn disapointing to have the season they had and get Ty Lawson out of it.
TD21 had actually toned down quite a bit...then in one fail swoop he went right back to being "Mr. Anti-Establishment." I think he's a little bit like Parker2112 in that he needs the occasional extra attention to feel validated.It's okay... I'm really out of the loop because I thought TD 21 was in your clique.
