Pacers, Nuggets Interested In George Hill 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Jul 1, 2017 5:24 pm

While the Utah Jazz would like to re-sign George Hill, he is also receiving interest from the Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers.


Hill turned down a renegotiate and extend offer from the Jazz in February, who traded for Ricky Rubio on June 30th as insurance in case Hill leaves.


The New York Knicks also have interest in Hill. 


“Denver and Indiana are a little more further along,” one NBA source said in the Hill hunt.


Indiana traded away Hill in June of 2016 and traded Paul George on June 30th, signalling their intention to rebuild. Hill is a native of Indianapolis.

If you're just trying to give GHill leverage that's cool but don't be stupid Pritchard. You cannot sign Hill after committing $84m to Oladipo.

Thanks for the honesty.

Over time I've become a big George Hill fan. Watching him in the 2017 playoffs, he's evolved into a skilled, calming match-up nightmare for other teams. Hope he stays at Utah along with Hayward.

Teams often trade away players they like to fulfil a short term need. Situations/rosters change quickly and no harm in bringing them back after an amicable break up.

That's cool. Any other instances of this happening?

Teague has left as well, one year tryout?

The Hawks got Taurean Prince, nice move.
