George Hill unhappy

[phanman]

The writer was just putting in his personal opinion about Vince and Zbo. Both guys who are the end of their careers and chose to take another pay-day vs becoming an end of the bench piece to a contender.

"Not surprisingly, Hill isn’t happy, according to multiple sources And the other veterans can’t be too happy, either. So the Kings have a mess on their hands.

Hill also took the money after turning that extension in Utah and having the market dry up on him. The difference is that he is 31 and at the end of his prime vs Zbo being 36 and Carter being 40. Hill has been the starter but far too often he hasn't been finishing games so I think that is where his frustration come from. The guy has been pretty damn efficient in his 25mpg.

I was shocked at Carter's decision the most during the off-season. He's made enough to not need a payday and prioritize winning. I feel like he should have either stayed in Memphis or joined Toronto.

Im not buying this they had a different direction with Scott Perry and it changed when he left. Id get this if they all signed there when Cousins was still there then once they signed thats when Sac traded Cousins. They traded Cousins and were in a full time rebuild, what were these guys thinking when they got there? Watch out young guns the core of Hill, Randolph, VC, Temple are going to be the main core of this team and we are taking this team to the playoffs? That core wouldnt be doing any better than them playing their young guys.

The truth is all these old vets took the biggest contract they could get, now theyre trying not make it look like they werent just chasing the biggest contract, they went there thinking theyre going to win. Stop, from day 1 everyone knew what you all were doing, there was no chance Sac was going to make the playoffs this year.

To be fair to them... They probably didn't think in their wildest dreams that anybody would overpay them as much as Sacramento did.

Vince is getting $8 freaking million... The difference between that at a minimum contract (which is all he's worth in his AGE 40 season) is tremendous...

they wanted the money and they got it. had they wanted to win, there were far better situations for them and lord knows they don't need that money.

they made their bed: $ > winning

[Plutonashfan]

wtf were they thinking when they signed there?

This!!! The Kings are a dumpster fire. Shame on them Especially Hill, if he wanted to win he should have taken a pay cut and played for the Spurs for a chance to win. Pure money grab

[City of Trees]

OP pushing fake news. Challenge you to quote where it says VC or Randolph is unhappy.


As for Hill, the guy signed an overpaid contract to play for a bad team. You dont get to take your money and then cry about it as soon as things get tough. Man up, Hill.

Oh I agree 100%. But I just think its obvious that they went to Sac because of the money they were offered, not because of some idea that the older guys were going to be the core and they were going to make a playoff run. No one in their right mind believes that was the plan going into the season. I like all these older guys, just think its dumb this is coming out a quarter into the season. Just seems like a way for them to say "no, no, no, we didnt come here just for the money, we were told we would be a playoff team, so dont look at us as guys chasing checks, look at Sac for lying to us." The day each one of these guys signed with Sac, everyone on here knew they were going there just for the money.

Good. Keep them a mess a little longer.

That 2019 pick for Boston is looking better & better .

I can't imagine Vince and Z-Bo thought they were signing with an up and coming team, there's no way they weren't aware what a sh*t show Sac is.

This story seems fishy.

They signed because Joerger was the coach there and they knew him and obviously like playing for him.

Was he saying he's unhappy like he wants off the team or was he saying he's unhappy as a leader because they lost 5 straight?

Z-bo is always smiling and shares how much he loves the young guys.

The GB is a dumpster fire.

Here’s the issue. The Kings brought in Hill, Zach Randolph and Vince Carter during the offseason and still have Garrett Temple on the roster. These are respected vets who can play. These are vets brought in to help a young team, and according to sources, were brought in with the promise of a team aiming to be playoff competitive. But that promise was made to them by Scott Perry, who since left Sacramento and now makes personnel decisions for the New York Knicks. So the direction of the franchise has shifted since Perry left. An organization that brought in veterans aiming to win now is aiming to lose. Not surprisingly, Hill isn’t happy, according to multiple sources And the other veterans can’t be too happy, either. So the Kings have a mess on their hands. I’ve always liked Hill’s game, but when he signed in Sacramento, I questioned the prudence of the Kings bringing him on board when they just drafted De’Aaron Fox, the quicksilver point guard from Kentucky. – via Salt Lake Tribune

Hill deserves this. He had like 2 good months last season and suddenly thought he was entitled to a huge payday no matter what. He decided to balk at the Jazz' very generous offer, his greed leading him to believe the PG market was more desperate than it was. Once Lowry and Chris Paul got situated, everything else dried up and nobody wanted to pay big money for an over the hill Hill with an injury problem.

Good riddance to a paycheck player.

Well they could always quit and try to go play pro ball in China or Europe. Not like they are being forced to earn millions of $ playing in the nba at the ends of their careers.

lol...they were never going to make the playoffs.

[jonjames]

George Hill is such a scrub its like he forgot how to play basketball.

I put this on joerger honestly. His playing time distribution is perplexing. Hield needs more touches start Fox main core guys need 30 + min/game too much playing time for guys like temple hill.

[City of Trees]

Exactly.

This is Hill now trying to take his money and go to a contender.

Chase the money on a lottery team and then act like your competitive side is coming out now lol

Why am I picturing Vivek tweeting this out

In all fairness this is the rare story where Kings FO seems sympathetic. These guys are most likely all just trying to get outta town after getting paid like everyone's saying.

It's almost like he played well in a contract year and the Kings locked him up
