Kyle Hill? Who Is This Guy? Rox Have Rights To Him?

He was a draft pic of ours 2 years ago

 

The Rockets aquired his rights in the Glen Rice trade. He has played a couple of times on the summer squad but didn't make it on the team's final roster. He would be a nice addition to the team if he can do something with the ball.

 

We got his draft rights from Dallas he was the 44th pick in the 2001 Draft

 

Hill played pretty well for the Rockets in last year's summer leagues from what I remember. He didn't get much PT this year until the very last few games of the summer leagues. He did score well and can can the open jumper.

 

I heard he's the next Dan Langhi but not quite the next Boki.

 

Kyle Hill cannot play pg and we don't need another undersized sg. He may be of value to some team but not to us. I would try to package him in a trade along with Glen Rice as someone else allready suggested.

 

I heard he was a poor-mans Moochie Norris.

 

I think I'm the best seated to give you ppl some insight on this guy because he played in for my home(well almost! ) team Pau-Orthez.
For the past 2 years Kyle has been playing for the top 2 teams in the French league(was traded to Pau this year) and both times won the finals!He is a well named SG as that's basicly all he does!
This year he wasn't in the starting line up because he was playing behind "Euro Jordan" Michael Pietrus.But each times he comes in and gives a spark off the bench.
His shooting numbers aren't great but he did make a couple of cluth shotes.
IMHO I don't see him in a NBA rotation(9-10),maybe on the IR list but that's all I'd give him at the NBA level!
I'll try to find his number's(this year and last).

A trade, huh? How about Kyle Hill for a second-rounder due before 2009, Utah's option. Or, if that's too rich for Utah, how about cash?

 

Thanks for the scoop, a la rockets, even if it's somewhat dispiriting.

And that's just what we need, a player who could make it on the IR list. I like to travel, I don't mind hospitals, and I enjoy to get paid for not working. Can I make it on the IR list?

 

You're right, and I agree. I was being facetious. If Utah has interest in Hill, it doesn't matter what we think of the kid.

 

I wouldn't give Rice away if Utah wanted Hill. Give them one thing they want and get rid of something we don't want. Hill and Mooch for an expiring contract or Hill and Mo for an expiring contract.

How's this?

TRADE ACCEPTED

 

I understood that. But, I think it is based on the false idea that Utah would actually give us talent in a trade. The point of the Utah-Rice article is that Utah is willing to be paid to take players off the hands of other players. The only commodity they are offering is to reduce other teams' payrolls. In fact, they want other teams to pay them with draft picks for the service. Utah isn't interested in Rice or any other expiring contract -- they are interested in the draft picks they'd be paid to take over the salary hit for one year. It may be interesting for owners who want to run a profitable business, but not for fans who want the team to add talent.

 

Then give them Mo, mooche and Kyle for a bag of peanuts. They get the salaries they need, they get a proven starting PF(expensive one), and young prospect and all they have to do is eat Moochies contract.

 

I wouldn't trade Cato for Amaechi and Ostertag, let alone Mo Taylor, Cato, and Hill. Cato is a good center, (jeeze that sounds weird) and if we trade him, we better get something good in return.

 

Are you kidding? Amaechi and Ostertag SUCK. Beyond sucky. They suck !@#$%!!! I'll give them Glen Rice...and I'll give them Mo Taylor and Kelvin Cato...but not for AMAECHI AND OSTERTAG. And let them have Kyle Hill! I was wondering the same thing about him a month ago...
