I agree. I like Pargo, but something is not quite right here. A trade might be coming.
But the Spurs are absolutely adding more shooting and more ball handlers, which is good, especially for Mahinmi's development.
In addition to the bad news for Hill, this also looks bad for Hairston.
seems like when there is a rumor signing for the spurs, it never really happens. they end up going for someone completely different.
Hill over Chalmers
Mason over Azubuike/Maggette
Tolliver over Gist/Hill
whats it gonna be this time?
That one doesn't really fit in with the others.
If this is true I see it as either Hill is 3rd string instead of Vaughn or Hill goes to Austin for a year or two...
yea it does. no one really expected that signing to happen. there were no rumors of it till about 2 days before it happened. we all thought that Hill would be the first guy signed by the way Pop and the FO was raving over him.
There is no rush to sign either Gist or Hill yet like there was with Tolliver. They had to sign Tolliver to something to hold on to him. Hill & Gist can be signed at training camp...
They'll probably sign Hill and Gist when they see how much money is left. They may not be able to afford Gist, I don't know. But there's no rush there. They may beg one or both of them to go to Europe.
With the Spurs going so small, aside from scoring, is anyone concerned with how much this could limit our rebounding?
Rebounding has been an absolute achilles heel for the Spurs, but will the current roster be enough to offset that problem? Udoka rebounded well in spurts, and we still have KT And Duncan. However, I'm still concerned with SA giving up too many boards this coming season.
Second chance points absolutely murdered us against the Lakers.
And I think a pargo signing would be superb. Wasn't he the one guy that was consistent in the Dallas series for NO? He was instant offense from the bench and I would take his jumpshot any day of the week over Finley's.....and yet Pargo isn't even an SG.
They're gonna get murderized by not scoring or rebounding. Same as last year; nothing's changed.
The other two show the Spurs making a choice of the one they want between the 2/3, while that one doesn't fit because we can still sign all 3.
Very few of us did.
Like half of all rumors turn out that way.
They have all offseason to sign Hill, signing him first isn't really a big deal.
Everyone should've known that if they had shown interest in Tolliver, they would've signed him first since he's the only one that can actually get away from the Spurs.
Good point, but it seems worth noting that Hill is a great rebounder for his size (and oddly enough Mahinmi isn't).
Also, I suspect that much of the rebounding woes against the Lakers had to do with age and fatigue more than anything.
Bottomtooth, let me put it like this.
if i were to ask you 1 month ago who would be signed first. Hill or Tolliver, who would you pick?
Not sure what to think of this.
It would be an excellent signing for the Spurs if he's backing up Parker and it means Vaughn is on the move. I don't see how it affects resigning Finley because Pargo isn't a shooting guard though he could spot some minutes there.
I hope the FO hasn't given up on Hill but could they have to use him in a trade to get rid of Bonner?
Unless they are getting back somebody they really need in return, I don't see why they would do that. Bonner (and his contract) is not the albatross so many people around here make him out to be.
A month ago people didn't even know who Tolliver was.
Let me put it like this:
Hill (Spurs drafted) over Chalmers (Spurs no longer have the chance of acquiring)
Mason (Spurs signed) over Azubuike/Maggette (Spurs no longer have the chance of acquiring)
Tolliver (Spurs signed) over Hill/Gist/Hairston (all the Spurs still have the chance of signing)
See how it doesn't fit?
So does this mean I probably shouldn't select G. Hill to my fantasy team?
I hear there's a 3 way trade going down between the Spurs, Bulls, and Nuggets.
Spurs getting Ben Gordon.
Nuggets getting Kirk Hinrich.
Bulls getting Hill, Bonner, Nene.
Of course the trade doesn't really work out, they're still putting together the final pieces.
Okay, so I lied about that. That would be cool though, huh?
BS MAN! Don't do that!
yeah lying about trades is so cool
Not if fg% is important to you.So does this mean I probably shouldn't select G. Hill to my fantasy team?
exactly my point.
Still doesn't quite fit in with your analogy.
i said from the beginning that the Spurs end up signing a player we either never heard of or never saw coming a mile away.
