if we could get biyombo for hill i would be very happy with that.
Why not? The combination of Ginoboli, and Neal, not to mention Anderson, would offset the possible trade of Hill. Not that I want Hill gone, but if RC can get value on trading Hill, I'm all for it.

I don't know if I agree with that. As much as I dog hill for his lack of PG skills (more of an issue with Pop really), he is the Spurs best wing defender. He hasn't developed as a clutch playoff performer, but he is fearless and has done an outstanding job defensively on some of the league's toughest covers. It's hard to see a late lottery pick who will have as much value and impact as Hill. At least not right away.
Anderson will turn out to be a better pro then Hill IMO. I like Hill but wouldn't mind getting rid of him if it addresses some of our needs (Getting rid of RJ and getting a different wing/Getting bigger on the front line). If the reports about the Spurs being very impressed with Anderson so far this summer are true then I could very well see this happening. George Hills defense is immensely overrated as well.
I agree that Hill is our best perimeter defender and a valuable role player, but hes expendable imo. Would much rather trade Hill, than Parker.
Perhaps packaging Hill, who has a low-cost contract, with RJ, is the way to go.
Would still have to find a suitor. Sacramento would be the easy route to go since they are so far under the cap but if they don't feel like they want to do that deal then finding a different team could be the problem seeing that RJ and Hill would account for around 10 mil.
The team needs to get back to its defensive roots. Parker is a defensive liability. Hill is not. It becomes a no-brainer to trade Parker rather than Hill, when you factor in Parker will yield more.
I am uncomfortable with both scenarios tbh.
I like that better than TP/RJ (much less money for the other team to cover) and could yield one very good player as opposed to a bunch of scrubs.
To be honest, I am not sure if there is any one facet of Hills games that Anderson couldn't eventually be better at. Of course we haven't seem much of James but he showed a lot on both sides of the ball in his limited court time and the report that the Spurs have been very impressed with him so far this summer is also an indicator.
Spurs fans overrating Hills defense once again...
Seriously... pick and rolls, pick and rolls, pick and rolls. That's all a team has to do to beat Hill's defense. Even Tony can defend a PnR properly, when he wants to.
I'm not overrating him. I said he's the Spurs' best defender on the wing and it's true. Sad, but true.

What's the hottest place to be right now in the NBA draft? It appears to be the mid-lottery.
The Pistons, Bobcats, Bucks and Warriors are getting flooded with calls from teams looking to move into that range.
Among the teams who have made calls? The Rockets (who are offering picks Nos. 14 and 23), the Pacers (offering No. 15 and Brandon Rush), the Knicks (No. 17 and Toney Douglas) and the Spurs (George Hill).
Sources say the Rockets and Spurs are interested in Jonas Valanciunas if he ends up sliding. The Spurs are also eying Washington State's Klay Thompson, according to sources. The Knicks are looking at both Thompson and Jimmer Fredette with that pick. For the Pacers, it's Fredette.
The bigger question is ... will any of them make a deal?
The Pistons are seriously considering the Rockets' offer -- especially if Kawhi Leonard and Tristan Thompson are off the board. The target at No. 14?
Markieff Morris. Morris wowed the Pistons in a big workout on Tuesday and they feel he could still be on the board there.
The Bobcats are in the most interesting situation. They are are actually trying to package picks Nos. 9 and 19 to move up a few spots to get a shot at drafting Leonard. However, if Leonard is off the board the Bobcats may be inclined to do a deal with Houston or San Antonio.
I don't think the Bucks or Warriors are inclined to do the Spurs trade, as George Hill doesn't hold a huge appeal to either team. The Rockets trade may hold some interest, but not until certain players are off the board. Both the Bucks and Warriors have interest in Valanciunas if he falls and both players are also fans of Thompson.
Understandable.

FORGET 'RUMORED,' MYSTERY MAN SPURS WANT TO TRADE UP FOR IS DEFINITELY KLAY THOMPSON... Due in NY yesterday, detoured to SA to meet Pop, RC
Just heard on espn, per Bucher, that the Spurs want Sac's, or Tornonto's lottery pick to take Klay Thompson. Hmmm...
Klay Thompson is catching me pretty off-guard. Very interesting if true.
cool another 6'6" 200 lb SG to add to the growing collection
If we trade TP straight up for Klay Thompson...
Jesus ty ...
So since we're hearing these reports, does that mean it definitely ISN'T Klay Thompson they're interested in?
Hill the best wing defender on the team?
No way. He gets eaten alive by anyone who can run a competent pick and roll.
Gotta pretty shot.
Most guys do in workouts.
pretty muchalthough the report that he detoured to san antonio is pretty interesting
