George Hill looking good so far vs. Western Conference PGs

Surely you don't expect the guy who's invited to give a speech on TD's retirement night to be waived. ffs

Hill is resigning with the Jazz before he ever considers signing with Spurs. I know he has good memories here, but it stings to get traded like he did and then see the Kawhi turn into a superstar. I think pride will make him slow to agree to any return to SA.

Wouldn't it sting more if he had been traded for some bust rather than a guy who turned into an All Star?

I like how every time someone suggests trading for a bad shooter they draw the Chip-will-fix-anything card.

Last I checked he gets paid to fix shots & is the best in the business. It's not like I said he's going to fix Kyle's robotic & slow sling shot, Payton actually has a normal form but he has a hitch at the top of his shot which causes him to be inconsistent.

Do your research before you run your mouth:

Porker at 22 (4th season) was shooting 65% from the line & 27% from 3 on two attempts while shooting ~25% of his shots from midrange at a 40% success rate. Payton who is now 22 but only midway through his 3rd season is shooting 61% from the line & 25% from 3 on two attempts. while shooting ~20% of his shots from mid-range at a 44% success rate.

Chip worked w/ Porker during the Summer of 2005:

In Parker’s case, the first thing Engelland noted was that while his form was exemplary on his one-handed runners and teardrops, Parker held the ball differently on his jump shot. Rather than keeping his right hand under the ball, Parker had it slightly higher up. So, beginning with training camp in the fall of 2005, Engelland reconstructed Parker’s shot, moving his right hand down, his right thumb out to widen his grip, slowing down his motion and even changing his release point.

Payton shoots fine when he letting it fly on pull up jump shots, his issue is when he's spotting up or at the FT line since he probably thinks too much which causes a hitch in his shot. Chip just needs to get that hitch out of his shot to turn him into a 70%+ FT shooter & lows 30s three point shooter which is basically Porker's shooting line for the first 7 season of his career.

If Patty/Manu are gone he can also be used as a backup guard since Murray isn't going to run the offense by himself.

stop talking about how parker can be waived and stretched, you're giving me hope

No, because he could use it to say Spurs made a mistake. Instead people are saying it's the most lopsided trade in probably 15 years.

He can't sign for the spurs if he is waived by them.
Spurs would never do that

Bump..

I'll stay weary of contract year dudes. Hill kinda cooled off after that torrid start to the season. Still a great defender but the inconsistency of his play-making and shooting is what keeps him from cracking the elite PG tier --and he is going to be 31 in 5 weeks to boot..

I don't think I would commit something that's even close to a max for him if he Spurs somehow open up cap space..If he craps the bed in the playoffs (team worst -16 v Clippers in reg season series), he could regret not signing that extension Utah gave him..
