He may not be the starter if we make a trade, but having him on our roster as a back up and relief starter would be a very good thing. We we need is not replacing Ribio, but adding for SHOOTERS that can actually shoot, without breaking up our chemisity or trying to introduce a "new system" to our offense! We've got a half-dozen dummies at the end of our roster we can try and package for another shooter, don't ya think?

He had some brilliant games against the Rockets, better than average. We can beat anybody with the present roster and we just need a part or two to take us to the l next level!

Please shut the **** up. You touted Harrison Barnes as our ****ing savior and the guy wouldn’t have made an iota of a difference.

If we had both him and Beverley, I think it would be quite workable.

Starting lineup next year:
Ingles
Mitchell
Royce/*insert new potential offensive threat here*
*insert new potential offensive threat here*/Favors
Gobert
Ingles plays 28 or so minutes per game, Mitchell takes remaining backup minutes, along with a signed back up PG for a good price.

Last week Gordon Chiesa said there are a handful of teams looking at Ricky. He said Ricky would do well in a system where he is a distributor and not 1-3 option. Good luck to him wherever he lands.

DL initially got it right. Hill was outstanding here and fit the team like a glove. Then....he got greedy and wouldn't extend for a reasonable rate in March of 2017. He was never really paid in his career and was looking for a massive pay day. He ended up with a 1 year deal in Sacramento for 20m, his TO will be declined this next year by Milwaukee, and live the rest of his NBA life out in obscurity, missing out on probably 50 extra million dollars he could have got with a 3 year extension for the Jazz.
Should DL have anticipated Hill would make such a poor financial choice for his future? I don't know. There is no way to account for the "human factor". Sometime players just make asinine decisions and screw you over, which is what Hill did to us. If you limit yourselves to just drafting and signing free agents though, you don't have many options.

You are wrong! and to answer YES, thats his job!!! The future was brighter here with George Hill you're telling me??? --- that also sounds like a crock of **** i ain't buying...
What about Monte Morris? Thsi guy dropped to the bottom of the 2nd rd and he shot 41% from 3, played all 82 games for the Nuggets, been giving them quality minutes in the off's, 16 PER on the szn. The facts of the matter are Lindsey was looking thru old names trying to rekindle old glory, the plan always should've been to stick to player development --- You can say "We're all about player development" til you're blue in the face, trading away 1st rd picks like what happend for Hill and Rubio means you're not fully invested in that, and still looking for shortcuts......
he was looking for shortcuts and didnt find them... what more is there to say... other than ofc, lets try again...

When healthy, the Jazz were awesome with Hill/Hayward/Gobert. Gobert's improvement would have offset Hill's decline from age. It would have been 3 years of 55+ wins and a punchers chance at a ring. I'll take it over drafting Furkan Kormkaz, Luwawu, Valentine, Skal, Ellenson, Chriss, Baldwin, all busts hyped up as stars in the draft thread.....yes we just don't sweep those names under a rug. That draft was a mess and DL knew it.

I suspect this draft may be like that one.

So does his coke habit, but sometimes you have to pay the price.
Honestly, this is a good question. I don't think it's unrealistic to have a PG who can D up a bit, launch a three consistently, and setup the play. Trey sucked when he was here, George went and made 20m elsewhere, Dante is wind gust away from breaking a rib, Neto playing more than 15 minutes statistically causes the Jazz to have the worst record in the league (tweet from Larson) and Ricky's laid enough bricks to make Habitat for Humanity proud. If Ricky was even close to 35% from deep (his final stats last year), we don't have this conversation and Utah makes it a legit series with Houston.
In truth, I'm okay with Ricky as long as we have three shooters on the floor. Problem is this offseason will probably come down to Ricky or Favors (probably both if the Jazz go big with their ambition). If we have to make that choice, the Jazz will keep Favors and find another PG or slot DM there and get a SG. The position, in terms of availability, is loaded and the Jazz have to roll the dice.
He sank the Kings lol
Hill got a 3 year deal bud

Well, with the four out trend, what teams would he even be a fit? What teams even need a starter? Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any.

Rubio was pretty mediocre in pretty much every single aspect of his game throughout his career. The only thing he was actually good at was being a floor general which is huge for a PG, but in today's NBA not as important if you can't score. I'm thankful for everything he brought and he's a class act but he's just not very good. He's a fringe starter or a great 6th man.

I don't think Quin's "apetites" got anything to do with it. Well... I hope so.
That said, Hill worked fairly well every time he was able to step on court.
