Of course they did, that's why George is now a Pacer.
Sure they did. Otherwise Hill would have played the point.

Anyway, can someone tell me what position Leonard is going to play? I keep hearing he's a tweener but a lot of other sites have him projected as a SF in the mold of Mbah a Moute. I'm just wondering if he can play SF full-time or is he going to struggle being out of position? I hear he has the athleticism, and he's only 6'7" but he is also 225 or so.
He'll prob be spending the whole summer and lock out in the corner of some gym shooting 1000 threes a day

Luckily for Leonard, with the lockout basically almost here, he'll have ample time to get over himself...
I don't see why some here are saying that Hill is a better player than Neal. He definitely has the physical assets to be a better player, but Neal is the truth. You can compare stats all day long, but Gary Neal seems to thrive under pressure, whereas Hill would wilt. Hill will be a star in Indiana, sure, but in our system he wasn't working. I'd rather have a great role-player that is a round peg in a round hole than a potential all-star (and I use that lightly) who just doesn't fit. No offense to the Hill lovers out there, but this was never going to be George's team while Manu and Tony were still around, therefore he'd never get the opportunity to be the number one option.
In addition, James Anderson can slash and drive, is bigger, just as quick and has good range.
Hill is a better player than Neal.
Neal is a better player than Hill.
You see how stupid that comment was?
Exactly at which aspects of his game is Neal better than Hill, except for shooting?
I do agree that saying Neal is a better player than Hill is a stupid comment.
Last year Hill did not prove he was a better player than Neal. Especially if you count the playoffs.
Hill played horrible D in the playoffs and made really stupid mistakes down the stretch.
I think with Anderson playing his natural postion at SG, he will make everyone forget about Hill.
In fact I would like to see him start along side TP, with Neal and Manu coming off the bench. In this way Manu can be the backup PG. There is not a player to be had better than Manu to run the backup point.
Oh get over yourself and your one line responses like "that's all I need to say." My whole point is that Hill may have the potential to be a better player, but when it counts, Neal is a better player for this team. Hill's acclaimed defense was nowhere to be seen for the entirety of last season and he wilted under pressure. Go ahead and be contrary, as I'm sure you want to, throw an insecure one-liner out there and let's move on.
You would be well served to take your own advice.
lol, I would be well served, would I? Thanks, Mel_13, for proving my point. Again, let's move on. Then again, your pride mandates that you have the last word, doesn't it? Fine, have it.
I was going to have the last word, tbh, but then somebody posted after me
Somebody said we are all assuming that Leonard starts at some time next season. When Pop benches a vet in the playoffs and the Spurs trade up (almost unheard of for the Spurs) to get someone to replace him, the prospects for RJ keeping his starting position don't look bright.
I doubt Leonard will start at SF at the beginning of the season, but I expect him to compete--HARD--to get playing time if not to take RJ's job.
We'll see how RJ takes the challenge of a high draft choice pushing for his job. He'll either quit and rest on his contract or he'll fight to keep it by trying harder.
Either way, the team should be better.
Wouldn't it be great if Pop said "To with the contract, he's not earning his spot in the rotation" and benched him? Sigh... if only.
Like he did in the Memphis series?
Right, but I mean throughout the season and for the rest of his contract until we can move him.
If anyone wants to hear his live interview with the pacers:

it's about to start
Here is the link to the press conference:

maybe he can make Greg Foster sign with the Spurs for the vet minimum.....
I still don't understand the hype behind George Hill. He's a decent guard but come on. Did Jarret Jack get that kind of reception in New Orleans?
