george hill is a small sized shooting guard that pays the pg just like brooks, he has a good basketball IQ thou, much better than brooks, does not jack up bad shoots, drives the ball and can shoot the mid range
Why？ According to your theory when you defended AB last season, Hill was at the same stage as AB last season, starting 30 some games, played similar minutes, has better stats than AB, makes better decisions, and he is YOUNGER.
I haven't followed the spurs, but doesn't seem like hill has that many assists. Blowing up the last couple of games, but wouldn't we have to hear the same whining about Hill once we traded for him
Why would they want the so called "next Tony Parker" when they have the real one? You really think Pops would put up with AB's turnover prone at times and being shot happy at times calling his own number at times.
How am I making stuff up? Bill Worrell stated the game after the deadline that the Clippers offered us Marcus Camby for Lowry and Ariza, but Morey declined because he didn't want to give up Lowry. Also, the Philly deal was rejected by Morey also. I don't remember his name, but someone on the Philly board, I think it was Philly1976 or something along those lines, who was a Philly insider, similar to our Doc Rocket and StevieRebel, said he heard from a credible source that Philly offered us Iggy, Dalembert, and Williams for Lowry, Dorsey and T-Mac, but Morey rejected it because he also didn't want to get rid of Lowry. You don't reject a deal to land a past all-star in Camby for a role player in Lowry, unless he is truely special.
George Hill = 5 minutes more compared to AB last year. Less assists than AB, 1 more pt than AB (but that 5 minutes can get you that easily). I still love AB...and hey he's a Rocket, so why are we worring about George Hill???
... And can play defense at elite level (frame, height, length), and his team is able to play solid basketball more regularly. Hill is truly a draft steal at the 26th pick.
Dang crazy knee jerk reactions..George Hill has one good game and now people are making him out to be Chris Paul or something.
There will not going to be a trade to wasp AB and Hill, I believe. Yeah,Hill played 5 minutes more, had 0.2 fewer assists than AB， but had 0.3 fewer TOs too, that made his Ast/To ration better than AB. On top of that, he had more rebounds, more steals, more blocks, better 3 point shooting, way better FG percentage, bigger, longer, and younger, at the same stage or their career.
It's not really knee-jerk. Hill has stepped up huge since Parker's injuries. I believe his has averaged like 17 ppg and like 6 assists since he's been in the starting lineup.
Yes it is. Have you seen some of Hill's bad games? Also while his defense is considerably better than Brook's, I've seen him get burned multiple times. If hill had a bad game today I guarantee there wouldn't be any "trade AB for Hill talks."
I agree. I think the Hornets are in a similar situation with Paul. While Paul is not nearly as old as Parker, I can't help but feel that with the franchise's money issues and cheap owner, they might let Paul go in the offseason. Collison, when inserted as a starter when Paul was injured, put up similar numbers to Paul, but at half the cost. Hill, like Collison, is the type of player that can flourish as a starter, but play not as great as a backup. I hope and pray that the Hornets franchise decides to hand over the keys to Collison and let go of Paul. The moment that happens, I want Morey to jump all over it.
We have seen some of AB's bad games too. No big deal, young players all do that. On average, Hill this year when he's starting is better than AB last year whe he was starting. So it's not really hat much of a knee-jerk. They are comparable.
Even if you choose to ignore the fact that Camby never was an All-Star, under that logic the Martin trade was an epic fail on our part as we traded an All-Star away and didn't get one back (as Martin has yet to be one, though I'm certain he will next year.) Oh, and you still didn't answer my question. How does Morey offering Brooks and Battier for Rubio and rejecting Lowry and Ariza for Camby prove Lowry is better than Brooks? Are you suggesting that if the Clippers had asked for Brooks and Ariza for Camby, that would have been an okay deal? Because if you are, you're an idiot. Yeah, it's not because Manu's gone berserk and Jefferson's become more than trash that's the reason for the Spurs surge, it's George freaking Hill.
