Kori with the burn
Moot point, I guess. Unless you are a Pacers fan.
I love how the Parker homers are ecstatic about this deal too, theyre too blinded by their TP blinds to realize that unless this rook turns out to be a complete stud his first yr...the Spurs have just pulled the plug on making one last run next yr. But as long as Parker is safe and sound who cares right.
The problem is that the run seems to end before the playoffs start if Hill's involved.

Are you implying Hill doesnt perform in the playoffs?
If so how did Parker do tbh?
LOL @ Hill nutriders calling Spurs fans Parker homers.
Tim Duncan would be a PG if the team allowed it. That wouldn't make Timmy a real PG though.
GH isn't a PG. He's a 2 guard. He has said as much. He absolutely does not see the floor when he's at point. He goes shoulder first down the court with that afflicted dribble and ends up in corner where he's out of options. Tony uses dribble penetration to find weaknesses and pull the front court out of the painted area. He gets them spread out trying to recover on defense and he can score or pass. George does none of the above. He's the guy the PG dumps off to on full court presses, not the recipient of the initial inbounds pass however.
Sorry, there's just no way GH will ever be a good PG and it's a huge waste to put him in that role.
The Spurs ring chances do not rest on George Hill. If they did we were ed from the get go. Hill is good, but he's not the lever for the Spurs' success or failure.Are you implying Hill doesnt perform in the playoffs?

You can can the hyperbole now.
Also, however Parker played in the playoffs, Parker has a Finals MVP and 3 rings because he's a solid player. Hill hasn't done but has shown promise. Parker's performance in the playoffs has nothing to do with whether or not Hill performs. Hill is nowhere near TP's level, not even close. TP is an elite player. Hill is a bench player, not even top 10 bench player at that. Parker eats defenses alive and has for years. He's a one man fast break. Hill is good on the break, but come on, he's no Parker.
We will never hear George Thrill Hill ever again.
I'm outright saying that Hill sucked in the playoffs. That whole "finals MVP" thing buys you a bit of a pass.Are you implying Hill doesnt perform in the playoffs?

Hill is a shooting guard in NBA 2k11.
I trust a video game more than your opinion, so, hes a SG to me :P
lol finals mvp is such a huge accomplishment parker fans need to remind the haters, gtfo man.
parker living on pass accomplishments, what has he done for the last 4 seasons, actually what has he done since ghill arrived on the team?
He's a combo guard. He can play both, but his natural position is more of a two. Indiana got him to play both, provide scoring punch from 2 and backing up Collison for 10-15 minutes a game or so. In our system, you don't have to be a pure PG, but he was essentially a 2 playing 1.
Hill is closer than you might think. And your facts are a bit off, I believe Hill finished tied for 2nd with 3 other players in the 6th man of the year voting last year.
And if Parker is such an awesome great player then why were Holt/FO trying to use him as a lure to salary dump Jefferson? What if they'd succeeded? I guess they figured George Hill was more than capable as his replacement, huh scrah?
Anyway, I'm glad for George, he'll get a much better opportunity over in pacer-land, in SA his role was of limited sort, which many took to believe that he couldn't pass, couldn't run an offense, couldn't create his own shot, etc etc etc.
Hill was a ultimate combo guy for the spurs.
he filled so many holes on this team. It was like Pop put too much obligations for this guy.
I hate to say this but I don't know how new guys can provide an impact this season when they are new to a team.
ghill gettin the beno treatment, just cause of one series defines what they think of him...
fck this
Hill was on a Spurs team loaded with offguards and is about to demand way more money than the Spurs want to invest in a guy who hasn't improved at the point in three years. Beno was a starting caliber point guard playing backup and got on by ST because Lindsay Hunter stole the ball from him once in a regular season game.
Beno got on because he became a whining to the press.
Nope, he got shipped the out of town the moment he became a whining to the press, which was probably a year after the Hunter turnover.

G. Hill: “I’m always going to be a Spur for life. They gave me every opportunity possible to be here, and you have to be grateful for that.”

Hill said first player he heard from post-trade was DeJuan Blair. "He was kind of upset." Eventually heard from most of the roster as well.

So glad we got @George_Hill3! Should help us a lot this year!
Second, eighth. Six of one...
LOL, this is the kind of delusion we're arguing with... someone who thinks George Hill is another Thaddeus Young, Jason Terry, or Lamar Odom.
Didn't check to see if this was posted elsewhere, but Zach Lowe got it exactly right:

There’s also this: I’d bet that if you got Spurs general manager R.C. Buford and Popovich in a candid moment, they’d say they’re comfortable wagering that Hill has just about hit his ceiling. Hill just turned 25, and he did not evolve all that much between his second and third seasons in the league. It’s fashionable to refer to Hill as something of an heir apparent to Parker, but he has never really shown that he’s going to be a dynamic NBA point guard capable of running an offense. His assist rate — the percentage of baskets Hill assisted on while on the court — was about the same as those of Ray Allen and Kevin Martin. Hill also depended on teammate assists for slightly more than half of his baskets, an average mark for a guard. Some of this is due to playing alongside Ginobili so much, but the numbers peg Hill more as a shooting guard with nice ball-handling skills than someone ready to run a team full time.
