Hill and Hayward: The Package Deal

[royzzz]

Is George Hill really the 3rd "star" next to Hayward and Gobert to go to the next level?
So far with Hill the Jazz gets to beat good teams but is he enough to win a series vs the Warriors or the Spurs?
Too bad we really couldn't gauge this properly as he was not able to play in games 2,3 and 4.

Rudy gobert, Gordon hayward, Derrick favors, george hill, Alec burks.

Oh and iirc we beat them when they had Blake Griffin playing and gobert was out.

And they beat us twice when Gobert was out and Griffin in. There is no way in the hell we could get past them with Griffin healthy, after that weak 6th game performance.

That's because there isn't a plan realistic enough to strongly posit.

Sorry, everyone, the Jazz don't magically get better by letting go of one of their best players while being well above the cap. That is simply losing an asset. As in... LOSING an asset.

You knew you could easily lose this asset when trading your 12th pick for him. He was a quick solution to put Utah in the playoffs this exact year. I dont think they imagined to build the team around him.

Hill is just isnt worth more than 15m p/year and 3 year contract at most. I mean who would pay a 35 year old Hill, 20 m per year? He is not freaking CP3...

When we are healthy there is no way in hell they could beat us in a 7 game series.

The post right before you posted this I mentioned names.

Oh ok. That's all it takes to get guys huh? Just mention mention names?

I would get lebron, steph, kahwi, and AD.

That was easy. Now we win all the championships!

I'd pay 17/18 but the 20+ he wants is too much for his talent level. I agree.

More than half of this board is going to be so mad and shocked when Hill gets $25 million+ per year and the rest of us will have been paying attention before that.

Let me just ask this:

Considering the topic of this thread, would any of you risk losing Hayward because you just arbitrarily want to pay ~$5-$10 million less per year to George Hill?

the main priority of this offseason has to be retaining Hayward, full stop. If that means signing Hill to a ******** contract, unfortunately that's what we'll have to do.

It would be awesome if DL could convince the Pels GM that George Hill would be the better fit in NOLA, and Jrue the better fit here, and have both teams engage in a sign-and-trade. Not sure how possible that is, but that's what would make me most happy.

"Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward said Tuesday he hasn’t thought about whether he will opt out of his contract to become an unrestricted free agent and will take some time off to enjoy time with his family before dealing with the “next chapter.” “It’s hard to think about right now, just because of the season we’ve had and everything we’ve gone through,” he said at his end-of-season availability. “Today it still feels like you’re looking toward the next game, looking toward the next opponent. That’s obviously over. But it’s hard to shut that off right away.” 1 day ago – via ESPN"

Hayward would leave a lot of money on the table if he doesn't opt out but it would be both amazing and shocking.

I'm not convinced that we have to sign Hill for Hayward to stay. After all, there is no place else Gordon would end up where Hill goes with him. I think Hill is playing that card a lot stronger than Gordon. I am sure Gordon would like to have George back but more than that he wants to see we are serious about winning. If we add another piece to the puzzle and it isn't George I think Gordon will be fine with that.
