Kawhi or Green will lock him up.
Have to admit, Hill hasn't found the level of consistency I would have hoped, but give him time. He's still only 25 years old with alot left on the meter.
And although the pacers are dead last in the league in playmaking (assists), they are still winning with defense. Hill's on the ball defense has been great so far, even when his offensive contributions have been off.
The guy I think the pacers should go after is not oft-injured Eric Gordon, but Steve Nash. I think he would help that team instanly shore up its weaknessess (playmaking), and allow Collison to run the bench unit which would allow Hill to play more to his strengths. Plus Nash would come a whole lot cheaper.
Kawhi or Green will lock him up.
GHill has hit his peak. He's not going to get better. He will fill a role player niche on some team if he's lucky, and retire a millionaire nonetheless.
He could be a good fit for the lakers
LMMFAO.............you same haters were flipping out when Hill was traded during the draft. Make up your farkin minds.
He was pops favorite player. If he has a chance to get him back on the team, he will. Spurs can deal with the over crowding at guard later. Manu is breaking down and tj ford is only temporary.
I for one want him back.
I agree. What could be better than having both Leonard and Hill. You all get back the play you hated to see go and the player you wanted to see drafted. Bring Hill back.LMMFAO.............you same haters were flipping out when Hill was traded during the draft. Make up your farkin minds.
Mike Wells, Pacers beat writer segment
George Hill and the Pacers were working on an extension but talks broke down before the deadline.
Hill wanted 7.5 a year, Pacers were offering 6 a year.
Great find
I can't blame the Pacers for not going higher than $6M/year. That's about the most he'll get on the open market. He's a barely better than MLE type player.
$7.5M/year for someone who is probably destined to always come off the bench is too much, IMO. I think Hill will regret not taking the Pacers offer but I guess we'll see. Maybe some team out there will be convinced he could start at point guard.
Not a surprise Hill wants 7.5 mill/year. That's his agent doing good work but he'll probably end up with the MLE.
Wow cant beleive they refused a 6m extension. I assumed Hill was worth around 4m a year beeing a undersized sg who cant pass the ball. Even Ariza after great PO performances didnt manage to squeeze more then MLE out of any team, but GHill wants +7m? Weird
bring hill back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
heck yea you take hill back he knows the system and could blossom with POP. just throwing it out there when i heard we were getting leonard believe me it helped the pain and was relieved
I'd definitely take Hill back as the backup PG. I don't think he was a huge loss, but there's been some times where I wish we still had him.
Folks, let go of the Hill emotion.
I still scratch my head on why they took him and basically just gave us Leonard.
It was a great trade for us.
Seriously, Hill is not worth 7.5m/year. I don't want any part of him back for this kind of price.
Getting George Hill back while still having Kawhi Leonard would be amazing.
Very true, if he comes back with a discount I'd be very opened to it. It was a very confusing move for them with Collison being a similar type of player. Hill's range on defense with his long arms is a plus to that on DC, but still.
I'd take Hill back as well, but only at 4-5m max.
I'm dissappointed in his recent play. Hill probably needs to let some air out of his head. And until he shores up his consistency issues and/or shows some point guard skills to justify his label as a 'combo guard' he is worth MLE money at most and that is even a stretch. I'm still holding out some hope he will come around however. He's still one of my faves.
But right now, Danny Green is showing more point guards skills and court awareness but in a much bigger, taller package.
Here's what they're saying over at Pacers' Digest:
Anyone think this is remotely possible?I said it when I heard he was just a one year contract, he's got an "under the table" deal to sign back with San Antonio. That's what my gut tells me. They both loved each other and I can see them saying, "Look, we have the opportunity to add Kawi but have to ship you out to make this team better. Go play in Indiana and next summer we will sign you back." Both parties then agreed. His heart is still in San Antonio. It's going to be a big dissapointment, but if it's not the Spurs, someone will overpay him and the Pacers won't match.
BRING HILL BACK !!!!!!! WE DEFINATLY NEED HIS DEFENSE!!!!!!!!! BRING HILL BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could be, but I doubt it because to pay George what he is worth, or certainly what the Spurs would pay, would certainly be matched by the Pacers.
For sure if another team pays more than what the Pacers would, would keep the Spurs from offering that much or more in order to get him back on the team.
No, the GH era with the Spurs I think is definitely over and done with.
Every former spur drops 30 on us when we play them, it's like a god damn curse so this is no news.
