Yeah, they got throttled because they didn't have a poor shooting complimentary small forward.
Hill is no gem but they could have gotten more value than a crap shooting undersized hope and pray small forward. A complete joke of a trade.

sorry to rain in your parade but that doesn't mean if we still have RJ and Bonner because they have corporate knowledge and Pop will send the rookie to the NBADL or the end of the bench for the next 2 years
RJ Jnr thenBoner and RJ have to go. They just bloody have to go
OK!!! we get it now, you hate RJ.
Shut the up already you weirdo!
I hope Kawhi is good, cuz right now I'm bummed about losing Hill. He was one of my favorite players. And one of our most talented with a lot of upside. And if we traded for this Kawhi because he's good defensively, why did we trade Hill, who is arguably our best wing defender?
I'm actually surprised how consensual this trade is for most Spurs fans.
Unless yall are ready to rebuild, why in the world are Spur fans celebrating this? Even if this developes into a stud it wont be an immediate thing, and Manu & Tim dont necessarily have enough time left to wait for that.
If youre ready to rebuild then continue your celebration. Although honestly trading a 23 yr old talented player doesnt make much sense either.
Spurs aren't rebuilding because their trading away their best young player and are keeping their veterans core.
They're also not improving for next year. They get a rookie who can't shoot, and even if he's a decent defender he will certainly not be able to guard at NBA level in his first year, and yet we have people proclaiming him as Bruce Bowen Jr.
If there was a thing the Spurs lacked was someone outside the big 3 who could perform in the playoffs. Hill was the only guy, now we have no one.
Basically the Spurs don't improve for next year, but also don't make a move for rebuilding.
First amendment says i can say whatever the i want to say. And i am just reiterating what others in here are thinking. So shut the up already you weirdo
Good trade. This pick won't see much past summer league and camp. It's really De'Sean Butler who could be the diamond in the rough if he comes back. Now if they could only unload RJ for a big.

I live In San Diego, And I got Alot of Opportunity To See Kahwi Leonard Play...... He Is A Good Talent, Great Athletism, He has Huge Hands, a Good Wingspan, Plays Great defense(better then RJ OR Ghill), In College He was able to guard anyone from the point to the power forward.... He Is not A superstar.... But He will Be A solid Player in the NBA for along time....
Upon second thought, SF has been a weakness for us ever since Bowen left - and one could argue, even before, since Bowen was often a weakness offensively - and back up PGs are a lot easier to come by.
If Kawhi turns out to be what he is rumored to be - solid defensively with some size for a SF, and coachable to improve his offense - then this will be OK. Even though I'm sad to see Hill go.
If Kawhi can adjust quickly - which some scouting reports suggest he may be able to - we will have a very young, athletic starting line up, even post Manu and Tim.
PG Parker
SG Neal
SF Kawhi
PF Blair
C Splitter
Nicely put.
Im not too surprised by the consensus though, most of them are so enamored with Parker theyre just glad this ensures he isnt going anywhere. For alot of Spur fans its the player before the team it seems.
When it counted in the tournament:
Moved like a snail, cement feet, ballhog (many bricks and worse very ill advised shots at that), pouter, easily duped into a stupid costly tech vs UConn. Looked like he was reefed up.
Please tell me he had some uncharacteristic games.
The guy the Lakers got from SDSU looked wayy more impressive.
A contradiction right there. Leonard isn't going to supply instant stability at the small forward position. , he isn't even going to see the court his first few seasons. Parker is as good as gone when Duncan retires which could come as soon as next season. They traded away a starting SG, who even with his ups and downs, was the one and only valuable trade chip the Spurs had at their disposal who could have brought in proven talent. They pissed it all away on a future maybe, a future shawn Marionbest case scenario. Shawn Marion BLOWS!!!
They really should have traded tony instead of george hill for kahwi leonard. we would have saved heaps of cash and kept george as our starting PG: when parker was injured last year and hill started we beat the mavs in the playoffs. But parker earns like 13 million dollars more.
The pinnacle of all debates, citing first amendment rights.
You are re-iterating your own views, certainly. At length. Repe ively.
The point has been made. While you certainly are allowed to continue posting, perhaps you could move on for the sake of inspiring or contributing to actual relevant discussion.

Regarding the trade, I am sad to see Hill go, but it sounds like a great situation for him in Indy. More importantly than that though, it sounds like the best possible outcome for the Spurs - a defensive 3 with upside, rights to a solid Euro and an extra pick, without creating a hole. Awesome, can't wait to see how the kid pans out.
I'm not reading all 6 pages of this...all I have to say is "nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
I take it you weren't around in the Church of Manu days, eh?
Hill is not starting PG material. He's a decent PG, but he can't play PG all the time. Just because he had a couple good games when Parker was out doesn't change that fact. There have been many times when Hill was on the floor and Parker was out, and Manu was the one running point. I'm not saying Hill won't be missed - he will be. But Parker would be missed even more.
But is Parker 13 million dollars better then George Hill?
He had one Bad Game in the tourney.... He Had A off night against the College Champs.... it Happens.... I think he will make Spurs fans Happy..... He is Actually A good character guy, well spoken, And A hard worker.
I think we are also forgetting that this guy averaged over 10 boards per game.
Defense. Rebounding. Yes please.
Hill will only be missed because he isn't being replaced. I'm not sorry Hill is gone. I'm just sorry it was for a bull player.
Which will come in handy with all the clanks.
Spurs have plenty of shooters...or would you rather just run and gun again like last year and get axed in the first round again?
