    Hill for Ego. Read the quote that’s what he is commenting on.

    Given Harden being a SG/SF playing PG, George Hill could effectively be Beverly 2.0. Great defensive player, and great shooter. He would actually be a perfect fit.

    If (god please) this is for Anderson, then we will probably need to try and add another situational big in a different deal.

    I was commenting on him saying we were trading Gordon...but Hill is a better 3-pt shooter.

    I also heard that the Rockets have shown interest in Lebron James and Kevin Durant. More as it develops.

    He might be a better 3pt shooter. But I'd keep EG based off him being the better creator off the dribble. George Hill isnt the overall scorer EG is.

    As I said before, only two teams want Ryan's contract: Kings and Jazz.

    Rockets can dump Hill in summer for nothing, no need to pack first round pick.

    Forget about stats, Hill is still a good player.

    Do people actually check stats or do they just make subjective assumptions?

    Gordon is a great shooter, Hill is even better, 41% over his last 3 years.

    Hill is a better 3-pt shooter and that's a fact. Eric Gordon is shooting 33.4% from 3 this season. Maybe you should look it up.

    He is saying hell na. I don’t want hill for Erick. Maybe Ryan.
    Someone or a couple guys already posted that Hill average 3 3point attempts a game. I don’t know if that’s right but still Erick shoots a lot because that’s part of our system. Some days he will shoot better but we want him to shoot and not hesitate like Ryan has done a lot this season. Erick doesn’t just shoot 3s, he can drive and does when he isn’t shooting well. He is tough to defend when he drives. He is not as strong as Erick.

    No, he's not, but George Hill is simply a better 3-pt shooter right now and its not even close.

    This deal sounds like a designed leak for negotiation tactics.

    Otherwise this is a stupid idea...

    This is Sacramento’s way of telling Morey: we’re not going to be your third team to move Andeson, despite the fact that we need perimeter shooters.

    That’s too bad for them and us, really.Trade partners seem hard to find at the moment.

    Imagine thinking 3pt % is the only factor. Could never be me.

    The Rockets are not scared to go small and shift Ariza and the Prince to the 4. Hill also has one less guaranteed season. If the Rockets could pull off a Anderson for Hill deal, they should do it.
