Scola's been shopped 24/7. So he's either the new backup PF or if not he gets in if Patterson isn't rebounding or scoring.
My guess is some of the bigs are getting traded in a second deal. Hill, PPat, Dally are all now easier to replace. At least for this season.
Back up power forward... duh. I wash PPat would rebound as well as Hill but there are times that I prefer Hill to Pat because there are long stretches where Pat just does not rebound. Of course Pat is a better defender and has a better stroke from outside.
For the next 21 minutes anyway. In the summer we'd be free of his contract and we can't trade him because we didn't pick up his option (I think?)
I wonder why everyone hates Hill's game. His absence is the reason we don't have home court right now. Camby's still better obviously.
