[Sacramento Bee] Rockets Have Expressed Interest in George Hill

It's called a package man. And I'm not advocating an AG for Ryno trade.

Orlando doesn't want Ryno but EGo is another story.

 

I personally am fine with Ariza or Moute starting at the 4 if the Rockets can deal Anderson for a genuine rotation player like Hill.

Hell, the defense will improve with Moute and Ariza getting most the minutes at the 4 and Hill getting minutes shifting Harden to guard 3’s.

Hill’s DRTG is down in Sacramento but I wouldn’t read too much into that. He is a very good defender in a solid team concept.

Paul/Hill/Harden/Moute or Ariza/Capela is a very good defensive line up.

 

Well what I'm saying is we dont need another big esp if we get Hill who is jist a better overall player for the same deal.

 

Counter with AG at center and Moute at PF.

 

Hill won't get as much burn as Ryno, he's the 3rd or 4th PG behind Harden, CP3 and EGo.

 

I don t want to lose Gordon at all. Or acquire Aaron Gordon. You have me confused or sum. Tuck and luc was golden state versatile D strategy signings. I was saying if we trade Ryan we need another Big

 

What "package" are you going to give that the Rockets have? This is xbox NBA roster talk and has no business in this thread where there's legitimate trade scenarios on the table. I'm done talking about pie in the sky garbage.

 

Fantastic trade for the Rockets. I'm not one of these "trade Ryno for crap" buffoons, but If you can get a quality Vet like George Hill, that would be a dream come true

 

to move Ryno, we're going to have to lose EG...

Gerald Green has been great for us but clearly we could've used EG's 20ppg tonight against the Heat.

 

Sounds like great problems on team seriously contending for a championship.

My trade brings in a starter, not more back ups. Plus the team gets younger, longer, better D, more scoring and more importantly more athletic.

AG, Jonathan Simmons, Mo Speights for EGo, Nanu, Troy, rights tp Llull, 2020 first rounder.

 

I think you would be surprised. With the rule changes and roster the Rockets have, they have zero fear going small and doing it for long periods of time. Harden would play a lot of minutes at the 3 and even some at the 4. Tucker and even Moute would get back up minutes at the 5.

 

Buh-Bye

 

I wouldn’t count on Eric Gordon being around too long after the acquisition of Hill. Unless Hill is forwarded
to another team.

 

Hill would be forwarded to another team most likely. Gordon is on a better deal and is a younger player with a better overall game. Hill is making Ryno money.

 

Why would we have to give up Gordon to move Ryno? I don't think that's the case at all, and you'd be hard pressed to find any teams that are willing to trade $33 million in cap space.

 

Why do this deal then? EGo is much better player and better fit as instant offense and defense off the bench. No future and poorer present.

 

But that’s what makes Eric Gordon a valued asset. This is a break the glass in case of emergency type move
to clear Ryan Anderson of course. Maybe Gordon and Tucker add-ons

Hill has a descending salary amount. $20 mil this year; but then drops to $19 mil next year, then $18 mil (& non-guaranteed)....easier to trade

 

Don't we need a PF if we trade Anderson...????

 

Hill is not worth 3 players who have been significant role players on the best record to date in Rockets history.

Hill trade per this scenario does not make Rockets better for postseason.

 

Hill would be making Anderson money and he'd be the 4th guard on the team....not a very wise allocation of cap space on a team looking to contend if you ask me. Rockets would be really stupid to put $20 million in a guy who might play 20 minutes a game. Even if his contract descends its still a mega chunk of change for a guy with his production on a team that has 2 future HOF players at his exact position playing big minutes.
