Pacers have traded this pick to the Spurs for George Hill sources say

[TrainOfThought5]

How does this help the Spurs win now or rebuild

CROFL

[K...]

i dunno how bird fcked up with a pacers roster that was meant to be contending out east

just because the miami big3 breakup, doesnt mean u breakup ur own team also...fail

they replaced their starters with

Uh, they had a good team. Never a le team, but they had some pretty bad luck and had to beat LeBron in the playoffs, which isn't easy. But one mistake was thinking George hill was a good pg.

Durant still thinks we got ripped off in this deal.

I thought Bird resembles a chicken mcnugget

Larry Bird looks like an old potato, tbh..

Looks like the average cac

bump..

at this ever being "win-win" for both teams at any point..one the biggest heists in NBA trade history..
GM Bird

Please. Indiana made two straight ECF with Hill. At first it was an even trade. It is just Kawhi with the instruction of the Spurs staff, has made himself into the player he is today. Kawhi had a horrible shooting mechanic when he first entered the league and he has put in the hard work to vastly improve it. A testament to himself and also Chip, the best shooting coach in the NBA, if not world.

I'm sure that first game in OKC changed his opinion a bit

[spursistan]

Pacers getting to see this trade blow up in their face from now on at each meeting...Kawhi completely erasing PG while taking over the game..you could have prevented this sight by having both on your team Larry Bird..

Despite being years older as well.

I would assume because no one thought Hill was good. I think the intrigue is about filling the roster with playable players, i.e. Matt Bonner is worthless, is JF really more worthless? And that's really what the forum is about, having opinions about who could play more/when/at all. To read the posters who insist JF is able to earn a spot is just as valid as those who hate on him.

Watching people get upset is entertaining and confusing all at the same time.

Always a good thread to revisit.

Unless the Spurs move RJ, this guy likely won't have a chance to do anything
Hill was a very good rotation player. I'm not against trading Hill, but why for this?

I love bumping this.

[100%duncan]

Pacers just got ripped off

Spurs FO has their heads in a fox hole. Indiana stole Hill for practically nothing. The Spurs can't possibly be done making trades or the Spurs are looking five years down the line and canning the present.

Just pathetic!!!!

[timtonymanu]

No surprise Poops Czar is a moron in this thread too

[RD2191]

Yeah, shooters that die in the clutch. Leonard won't see the court during the regular season let alone the playoffs. By the time he sees the court regularly, you won't have to worry about getting bounced in the first round. The Spurs will be playing the role of spoilers.

Who the is vessely tbh

Who the is vessely tbh

I've heard of him..but can't put a face on him.

[RD2191]

"I agree. He can't shoot, jump, or dribble.
I've heard many people compare him to Gerald Wallace and Shawn Marion, but he's nowhere near as athletic as those two. He's an overrated athlete, and people found that out at the combine.
He's a good rebounder and defender, but I think there are more talented players that might go behind him in this draft. I hope my Wizards don't take him, because Chad Ford has him going to us, and I heard that he had a good workout with up.
Some people projecting him as the #1 SF in this draft shows just how weak this SF crop is. He's a safe pick, but he shouldn't be a lottery pick. More like late 1st, but will go in the lottery because this class is so weak, maybe even top 5."

[RD2191]

This ing guy.

[100%duncan]

This ing guy.

Thank Jesus "their" teams didn't pick this ing scrub tbh

[RD2191]

"Im not sold on him at all. I dont even want my Bobcats taking him at 9 if hes there. His comparison is Gerald Wallace but this guy is light years from bringing what Wallace can bring to the table, it took Wallace years to develop from what he once was which was similar to Kawhi Leonard to someone who could crack the rotation. I dont think hes ready to contribute right away nor do I think he has tremendous potential. If he lives up to Wallace he will be well worth the pick but I feel thats such a long shot that I wouldn't take him top ten."
