George Hill is a PG

[DPG21920]

Typical. Why not quote DPGs posts for example, since he shared basically the same opinion regarding the trade ?



Let me guess, you knew this is exactly what would happen? From day one you though Leonard would blossom this much this soon ?

In hindsight it looks really good for the Spurs, but at the time with an aging core adding a rookie for their 4th best player didnt seem like the ideal route back to the Finals. Glad to have been wrong though tbh.

What was your take on the trade ?

[DPG21920]

It certainly wasn't trade Parker to keep George the Point Guard Hill.

Ok, so then what was it ?

I thought this was a bad trade at the time..mainly because I don't follow college bb and everyone was saying it was like the worst draft ever..so trading him for a mid first in thst draft I thought was re ed at the time..

Just looked it up. DPG was on board with trading Hill but just wasn't sure Leonard was worth it. Definitely didn't want to trade Parker, though.

His specialty is taking that says one thing and trying to make it mean what he wants. He's the dumbest Mexican I've ever met.

Again the problem was not doubting trading hill for Leonard is good or not even if trading a sg for sf is what the spurs needed but thinking that hill could play pg for the spurs

WTF are you talking about bene, I said I was gladly wrong. I cant believe you have the audacity to call anyone dumb too.

Never was a fan of Parker but the reason I wanted to trade him instead of Hill wasnt because I thought Hill>Parker. The OP in this thread states that. Things looked like for the Spurs after 2011...unless you knew trading Hill guaranteed Kawhi dropping to us at 15th and that he was going to be this good this soon then not being a fan of the trade was logical. Parker wouldve theoretically landed a bigger piece than just a mid first round pick. Thats why I wanted to trade him. Hill has been the starting PG for a playoff team for the past two years btw...hes a starting PG in this league despite his limitations.

In hindsight the trade was great though, and Im glad to have been wrong.

I said that if Hill couldn't be better than a rookie in his fourth year in the league, then the Pacers got robbed. Leonard was projected to go in the top ten and fell to the Spurs, so logic suggests that he could be as good as Hill pretty quickly unless there was something Indiana saw in him that nobody else did. It's a reasonable expectation that if you trade lottery talent plus two guys for an established player that you expect that player to be better than the lottery talent, at least in the short term. He wasn't. The Pacers got robbed.

Hindsight or not, there's not any justification for passing on a rebounding version of the long three we've all wanted since Bruce Bowen got traded, and particularly no justification for doing so just to have Hill playing point. The Spurs were a dismal playoff failure with Hill as their defensive specialist and backup point guard. In his second season, I'd trust Leonard to run the offense before I'd trust Hill.

George Hill is good basketball players, and his local boy for Indiana Pacers. George is good for them, Kawhi is good for Spurs. Win win trade. off.

Did Pop actually called Hill for some "you need to stay aggressive..." pointers? Who said that during the game, Steve Kerr?

I thought he said Frank Vogel used that quote from Pop.
