They only touch on it for a minute before it ends but Zach Lowe and Brian Windhorst both say that the Spurs may be interested in George Hill due to the history and the idea that the team may be at the point where Tony needs a "co-starter" on the team. They also mention how Patty Mills' UFA status makes things interesting. Then Windhorst brings up JJ Re 's name as a potential Spurs target as well but doesn't expand on it.

I want Hill back on the team personally but what would he cost? Utah surely to throw some dough at that man after their record with him in the line up this year. He is playing great.

I want Hill, Kawhi and Bertans all to play against the Pacers and be on the court at the same time, tbh.

I think any scenario where they can get either guy is dependent on Pau Gasol opting out of his deal. If he does, then the Spurs can free up ~$22M in cap space I think. But if not, then they'll just have the MLE.

I can't think of a reporter who'd have a worse pulse on the Spurs than Windhorst.

Re is often rumored to the Spurs because of his home here in Austin, and he and Murray make an interesting backup back-court. But if you're tossing out money for a shooter, just re-sign Patty.

They should go all the way and bring Lorbek out of retirement for this game and this game alone.

Just call it the Larry Bird lineup.

I'd take either but think Hill would be too costly.

[NASpurs]

So you guys think Pau is going to opt out but sign for more years? 3 yrs/$30 mil?

Wow, merciless!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Signing hill would stunt Murray's growth.

Red is showing his age and the spurs can probably get mills at a cheaper price.

Windhorst is really out of touch in terms of western teams.

This would be hilarious.

So, if Dijon is the back-up PG, are you projecting Tony as the starter next season?

Patty is looking for his first decent contract/starting role...Red maybe looking to win/compete and has made waaaaaaay more $ than Patty

Very good points. Plus, JJ is a real SG and Patty is a short...

Patty is a PG and JJ is short for his position...

[coachmac87]

There's been mutual interest regarding Red and the Spurs for years. Before he got traded to Millwaukee the Spurs kicked the tires and were very interested. Red has always raved about the Spurs and thinks extremely highly of Pop.

God, I want to move back to Austin...
I miss Thundercloud and Half Price Books so bad.

Red VP. The missing piece...

So, if Dijon is the back-up PG, are you projecting Tony as the starter next season?

Yes. Or are we still trying to argue that Murray is better than Tony? I expect him to start until his contract is up. Then Pop will try to pick the best two PGs he can.
