Yeah all you need is a team that wants to downgrade at the same position.
You're a no brainer.
he also struggles alot on the road compared to home
he mentally owns dallas and usually plays well against them though

Hill doesn't need to be traded. He's the perfect compliment to Ginobili and Parker. When one of them (particularly Parker) goes down, his deficiencies become exposed. That's not his problem so much as it is the front offices'. They've made it priority to bring in SG three-point specialists as their fourth guard and with their insistence on avoiding the tax, that's left them with a fringe type manning the fifth guard spot.
What needs to happen is, the front office has to make it a priority to find a useful third point in the off season. It's going to be difficult to acquire someone who's capable of playing rotation minutes if need be, with limited financial resources and playing time available. But they clearly need someone better than Quinn, or some other fringe type.
That being said, it was Neal not playing in conjunction with Parker's injury that put far too much of a burden on Ginobili in the second half. With Neal, they can play stretches without a true point, because Neal handles/creates well enough to where they can get away without playing with a PG and use Anderson as the fifth perimeter player in the rotation.
Even with that, though, if they had to go, say, 10-14 days without Parker, they'd be in trouble. They'd still win more than they lose, but it's how they'd have to do it that would take it's toll. Ginobili would have to play and do way too much, Hill would have to play a ton of minutes, etc.
Basically, they need thirteen legit NBA players next season, not eleven.
as a 3rd string PG i like Pooh Jeter, but i don't think SAC will release him. He is much better than Quinn IMO
They are going to adress this subject during the draft i guess.
Would love to see the Spurs drafting Ginobili´s fellow argentinean NT member Juan fernandez, currently playing in Temple University.
Hill the PG needs to step up with Parker out.
Everyone trashing hill as PG in this thread... and now we need him to fill the role.
Um, Hill has sucked as a PG so far in his career, and it's impeded his ability to do the other things that the Spurs need him to do. He'll be starting point guard, but Manu will be running point. Insane as it sounds, I think I'd prefer Neal come in as the backup to run the team.

Trading Hill would be asinine. The Spurs couldn't get anyone with better production for that salary level.
Now if Hill doesn't improve in the next couple of seasons, but starts pushing for a big contract extension, that might have some legs.
Hill must step up his game now.
He needs to attack and finish strong. Lately he's avoiding contact when he goes to the basket.
man, Parker got hurt at the wrong time... we're playin the Heat twice and the Lakers once in the upcoming on March
Hill doesn't need to fill the playmaking role of TP. He needs to fill the attacking role. I have a lot of confidence he will step his play up in TP's absence. He's done it everytime hes been called upon.
Not to spite him but even Duncan has better PG skills than Hill
CIA Pop. Nobody has a psychological advantage on the Spurs going into the postseason now.
THIS
Pop should tell him it's okay to lead the team in shot attempts as long as he sort of watches to pass to open teammates.
No he doesn´t. But for god´s sake, i would be thrilled if he at least delivers one assist to the roller in a pick n roll.
At least a couple of nights ago he feed Duncan once. But it is still impressive that a PG doesn´t know both ways of a pick n roll offense playing in one for 3 years.
Yeah, he's not a PG. Welcome to two years ago.
and there were people wanting to trade TP's contract cause Hill could carry the point fine... gtfo.
Hills inability to run the point is getting exploited right now. I think hes solely responsible for like 3 turnovers right now.
This was predictable..
His lack of ball-handling and passing ability has always been evident, it probably won't get significantly better, however, the constant unpredictability in his level of confidence is saddening..he looks like a cold-blooded killer at times, like the Mavs-Spurs series', but then he will proceed to become a moist hole for a few weeks..he needs some swag, tbh..
What PG?
He approaches the game like Tony, driving fearlessly, but he gets trapped often and fails to kick the ball back out and by the time he makes the pass, the other team has gotten in the passing lanes and he makes a pass that gets picked off. Or he'll try to make a crosscourt pass and it will be off the mark. He's just not a true PG. Hes fast though and he's courageous so i like watching him on the break with ginobili.
Hill just sucks, Reallly involuted in his game this season.
