Why the heck did we trade Paul George? WHY!?!?!

[dallasmaverickslose]

The Spurs have just never been quite the same after they traded Ime Udoka for Richard Jefferson.

[marinoman]

cause Duncan and Paul George couldnt get along. Their egos were too big to be on the same team

[McGusto55]

This is so funny...

[NRHector]

I never agreed with the Bob Hill trade. But looking back I think it was a blessing in disguise. After trading him to Orlando he was always hampered with ankle injuries. A healthy Bob Hill and TMac would have been championship contenders for years. The spurs are lucky Duncan didn't leave to go play with them in 2000.

He was too old and asking too much money

Fail. Thread just got it's head blown off.

I get it confused sometimes as to which "George" they are referring to when I watch a Pacers game, because I /we know that one of them is an ex Spur... I called him *gasp* George Hill when he was with the team. Now that he's teamed with Paul George in Indiana... you'll even hear the commentators get confused as to which "George" is the former Spur. The commentators aren't fans, though. So it was confusing and A' funny at the same time, obviously, when this "fan" started this thread. Especially since it all happened right after game 1 of the ECF. Still should've been basic-common knowledge for a fan though since that trade/deal happened, oh... only a little less than 2 years ago? ... So I guess he/she just never watched George Hill play or even knew who he was at all? We got carried away. Poor newb.

You mean the same chick that was voted #67 on Maxim's Hot 100 list in 2010?

To be fair, if Maxim is going to say that Miley ing Cyrus is the hottest chick in the world this year, I have to call into serious doubt virtually everything associated with that list.

[Darkwaters]

Well it's a good thing that we traded Paul George last year and not Smush Parker. Where would we be this year with out Smush Parker.

Former starting point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, Smush Parker. The level of compe ion hes playing at now looks intense.

To be truthful, this was a reference to Maxim ranking Manti T'eo's faux girlfriend this past year. It's all a big joke.

Ha! I missed that reference!

But yea, I agree that it is all a big joke.

Lets see how the former Spur fairs tonight as Lebron and co. As much as I believe in the former Spurs curse (former Spurs having the game of their lives against us... see Scola and Dragic haha), I wanna face Indiana in the playoffs (some playback for all the years Ian Manihmi sucked for us too).

[210Max]

he would've been the best perimeter defender we've had since ryan bowen too :/

smh george>leonard

George Hill hits 4 clutch free throws to clinch Game 2 for the Pacers. Hill has really matured and turned out to be a great pick for Indiana. He's a tweener (undersized 2 trapped in a 1 body), but his PG skills have come along nicely.

According to draftexpress and other scouting reports, the Spurs were high on George back in 2010 and were planning to trade up to get him, but IND took him with the 10th overall pick. Luckily, the Spurs got Kawhi who turned out to be a steal at 15th.

You mean the Smush Parker, who made second team all-NBA?

































...in the Nepalese Basketball Association?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Why did we get rid of George? I saw him on TV talking to shaq

[mudyez]

At least we kept Danny Green. Remember when he won the All Star Slam Dunk Compe ion?

[AchillesHeel]

LOL NOOB PAUL GEORGE NEVER PLAYED FOR THE SPURS, IT WAS GEORGE HILL!

[I. Hustle]

I'm still bitter over that time when RC Buford LeBron James and Kobe, tbh. We drafted Bryant and then we bought the rights to LeBron when he was a kid, but RC threw it all away! WHY BUFORD??? WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!
