George Hill and Utah Jazz cannot reach a deal on contract extension

man seeing what guys like alan crabbe got though

 

Yeah, but sometimes you got to just time it right.

It's like Dan Duncan, a now deceased Houston billionaire. Nobody wants to die, OF COURSE, but he happened to pass I think in 2010, which was the one year that there was no estate tax in America, because the previous law expired and a new one hadn't been put into place yet, so the dude's whole multi-billion estate passed to the next generation tax free. random comment I know... just pointing out sometimes timing works to your favor.

Plus, Crabbe was (is) a young 20's, improving, good three point shooting player. Hill is equally good player, but at 30 this year, you just don't want to be on the hook for $20+ million to him when he's 34 years old. That, combined with the fact that the cap dynamics won't be the same. The cap doesn't jump as much and there won't be as many teams with significant space.

Here's an article from December for example. Key line: The days of players like Bismack Biyombo, Tyler Johnson, Luol Deng, Allen Crabbe and Timofey Mozgov getting contracts starting at $15 million a year are likely over. The market for quality role players may drop down to the $8.4 million MLE. That doesn’t mean a few free agents won’t be overpaid this summer, that seems to be an inevitability every year – but not on the scale of 2016.

Then you're left with teams that have the room but perhaps not the fit there. Like the Rockets could make the room, but aren't about to do so to pay Hill $25 million a year. Conversely, teams like the Lakers, or Nets and the like have and/or can make the room, but likely just don't want Hill in any scenario, since they aren't win-now type teams. He's "stuck" with hoping to find that perfect match of overpay...

Which certainly may happen.

But I'm kind of shocked they couldn't come to an agreement on an extension. Utah is the exact type of team where he needs to stay to maximize his value, and they probably offered him a lot of money, even if I don't believe they offered the full $25 million a year. Not to mention, it looks like Hill is getting paid $8 million this year. Not sure how the extension works exactly, but if it included a bump to $13.6 million as the article notes and he gets 100% of that bump regardless of the fact the season is 2/3 over, that's an additional $5.6 million in the PRESENT.

Maybe he just doesn't want to play in Utah.

 

San Antonio makes a ton of sense there. Pop loved him. He may be 30 but that isn't terribly old, especially for his style of play. He's always been an intelligent player and great shooter, both of which tend to age well. He and Kawhi would be crazy good together.

 

The pick we gave up is like 27th, the 12th pick would've been lottery. How's that even remotely the same? Lol

Posters here want to go all in all the time because all they care about is the present. It's not their ass on the line later on so they don't give any ****s about the future.

 

The Spurs don't have enough for Hill. They still gotta keep Dedmon.

 

Imagine Kawhi and Paul George for Indy all these years. LBJ would have faced some stiff competition out in the East

 

Yikes @JayZ750 $132 million over four years is what GH's agent is reportedly looking within range for

$30 million a year for a 31 year old George Hill? Lol.

I guess I hope the Jazz are forced to give it to him. Imagine that team maxing George Hill and Gordon Hayward, AT BEST #2 and #3 guys. That's a perennial #4-#7 seed at best.

haven't really seen much discussion about this but a George Hill return to SA? obstacle is the spurs won't be paying him the kind of money he is reportedly asking.

 

Bruh 30% of the cap for George Hill? C'mon man, 20 mill should be top dollar for him.

 

That would be a really nice pickup for the Spurs If he would take less.

 

There's not that much money to go around, i don't think he will get much more than 20, but i've been wrong before.

 

FYI, Utah Jazz traded the 12th pick for this 1 year George Hill rental.

 

pass hes never healthy

 

Git'er done!

 

Never healthy, wrong side of 30, demanding a max even though he's not even a top 50 player. Nah.
