George Hill coming to Utah

[fishonjazz]

Seems a slight overpay if Jazz don't get anything with Hill for 12th.

Agreed.
I like hill so I'm ok with the trade.

How much will we be paying hill and for how long?

Does anyone actually believe that George Hill makes them a threat in the west? LOL

Well...Zach Lowe and Nate Duncan do. For some reason I might value their opinion more than yours.

Rose is going to new York now :O

If we're healthy, we win 50 games next year with the best defense in the league.

 

[MT Steve]

General consensus on other NBA forums is the Jazz won the trade.

Nope ,Larry Bird wanted the Pacers to play at a faster pace and lo and behold gets Teague....Jazz had the slowest paced NBA team and now get a PG traded because the team he was with wants to play faster

Obviously, the jazz didn't like Poeltl, Davis, Sabonis, Murray, Baldwin or Ellenson much.

I'm with Cy, 100%.

Hill was first drafted by the Spurs so I suspect there is a relationship with Hill and DL.

If we re-sign Hill to a fair contract over say 3 years, I'm okay with the deal. If he's just here to play one year and mentor Exum, it is damn risky.

Let's package Burke and see if we can get a low 1st round or high 2nd round pick.

Hill is a better fit. Can play multiple positions, better shooter, much better defender.

We aren't a title team looking for pieces. We are a bad team looking to get better. Teague is a better player, is younger, is an all star and is a PG...which we desperately need.

It makes zero sense to get the lesser asset.

This is a Utah Jazz move. Make a good move. This is a good trade. Hill is a good player. We will probably make the playoffs now. BUT, we could have had an all star.

And we passed on it to get a good player.

If there is more to the trade, then I reserve the right to eat crow. But, as it stands, this is a stupid trade.

That was a joke tweet mocking the Hayward tweet.

I will miss the rampant optimism and hope that comes with a rookie, but I will like winning games more.

What's the end game here? Mack & Burke have to be gone right?

That is what I am thinking.

 

[NCJazz]

George Hill is 100% better than whoever we would have drafted at #12. This is a weak draft class outside the top 2.

Do you remember when Hood and Gobert were drafted?

Yeah and we didn't trade those picks away for a reason.

Teague is not the better player on this team in comparison to Hill.

This. I'm glad the Jazz are actually trying to win now. I like Hayward. A lot. I really like Favors. I am optimistic on Exum. But lets get some proven talent here.

Hill is that. I would rather have Teague though.
