Spurs offering George Hill?

Hill is a physical marvel. Probably one of the best conditioned athletes in the league. So I like his intangibles. But I can't see doing the deal until you know who falls at 12. I'd be happier with him over Jimmer, but I wouldn't be happier with him over Biyombo/JV.

I love you so hard.

Great post. If both of those guys are gone then take this deal. Hill>Jimmer and is already a proven player in this league. Problem is they probably don't want this deal if both of those guys are gone. I heard on teh radio the guy they are targeting is JV.

They supposedly like Klay Thompson, so that offer could be there. If the Jazz draft Kanter with the intention of keeping him, AND they want a backup point, I'd definitely take Hill off their hands for the 12. Downside is he only has two more years on his deal. Upside is that's plenty of time to figure out if he's worth keeping for the long haul, and in that two years we'd be all set at the point.
 
This is very tempting, he is only 3 years older than Jimmer and handled PG well for one of the best teams in the league. He is longer and as athletic as Knight. His assist numbers suck, but doesn't turn the ball over either. Very very tempting even if JV is still on the board.
 
If San Antonio values number 12 it means someone good will be there. Also, there's no way San Antonio takes Bell. This is the Spurs, for Hell's sake, not the Timberwolves.
 
If this is Hill for the 12 and we get Williams, then do it!!! I'm not ready to give up on Harris.

PG Harris/Hill/Watson
SG Hayward/Hill/CJ
SF Williams/Milsap/Evans
PF Favors/Milsap
C Jefferson/Okur/Elson

Price, Kirilenko, FES and Bell are collateral damage.

Williams will not be a good SF. He might be a decent PF but not a good SF.
 
Everyone's going crazy over this guy and seems to be writing as if he's a point guard. Why? The Spurs had Parker. This kid in 28+ minutes a night didn't even average three assists. I'm not saying don't do the trade. I'm not saying he's not a point. But can someone enlighten me about this kid. I'd just like someone to explain the rationale on the trade (other than obvious cheap, quality depth) when it appears to me he's a two and we have Hayward who needs to be getting a minimum of 20 minutes a night this year, and hopefully more like 25-30. If Hill is willing to be our first wing off the bench, then I'm sold. Otherwise, I just wonder if it's the wise move. Again, with that contract, and two years left, and the fact that he's George Hill and is unlikely to demand the nightlife of NYC or any other major market seems extremely attractive. I just want to know more about him.
 
For everyone saying he won't make a good 3 I'm willing to bet that in a game thread a couple years from now we'll be worried that we're overmatched. For some odd reason, we are always the losers on a mismatch. If the Lakers started Biyomba at PG we'd worry about how he has way too much size and length and has 9" on our starting PG.
