I never thought Hill would consider the Lakers to be honest.

Not sure why the Bucks, Knicks, Magic aren't chasing him.

 

[DJ]

He is not a shooting guard. He is a point guard.

When he was drafted by SA they had Parker.....was he supposed to be Parker's replacement? He's a combo guard, at best. They brought him in as a shooter.

The Bucks are meeting with Rose.

 

[AlpacaWine]

Yep. And he's a good passer for a SG. He can help Ball a lot imo.

What Lonzo Ball needs is a big man. He eill ne as good as Julius Randle.

Ball is going to struggle mightily if he has to score.

He will eventually be a solid pro, but he is going to get his ass kicked something fierce his rookie year.

Neat



He has been a PG for his entire career.

Brook Lopez averaged a career high 24ppg last season. He'll be fine with the Lakers.

Ball will be throwing the ball to Lopez, Randle, Hill, and Clarkson. He won't need to score more than 12-13ppg, which he can do imo.

Wrong.

He is not a shooting guard. He is a point guard.

So is Kyrie, Dame, Curry.

All can play off the ball.

He's gonna have some struggles, like most rookies do.

His Dad's big mouth will have guys going at him the first few months.

That's why this is a good move, if it happens.

I would much rather have Hill than Rondo, if I'm the Lakers.

Has put together more title teams than Ainge has. Made playoffs 17 out of the last 21 years.


Don't worry you're not an idiot.

Yay. Dwyane Wade fell into his lap and LeBron chose to play with him.


Other than having LeBron and Wade come to him, what has he ever done?

He blew the LeBron re-up, forced Wade out of town, blowtorched $100 mil on Bosh's extension, set fire to a 1st round pick on Napier in a desperate fail to keep LeBron. Knifed Van Gundy in the back to steal his ring and then hand over control to a total clown in Spoelstra.




At least he got Shaq 12 years ago. If you want to keep giving him credit for shit like that, go for it.

The guy is awful at his job.

George Hill is a chameleon, able to adapt to nearly any role or environment. Point guard, shooting guard, combo guard, starter or reserve, he'll go along with it and probably do it well.

Brook Lopez scored 20 ppg last season. Not 24.

On the worst team in basketball.

But why let the truth get in the way.

 

[AlpacaWine]

All can play off the ball.

Kyrie Irving can play off the ball? What?

Nobody in the league needs the ball more than him to be effective.

 

[AlpacaWine]

I like Hill to the Lakers, to be clear. I jist think it is going to be so he can take the ball from Lonzo and run the offense. Not to play off the ball.

Like Ainge is so good at his job.

Lebron was always going to leave.

With Wade the Heat didn't want to put a hold on rebuilding like the Lakers did with Kobe. It's called learning from others mistakes.

Bosh's contract compared to what guys are making now isn't bad. I guess it's Riley's fault that Bosh had blood clots.

Van Gundy wasn't doing shit with a title team. Riley coached them to the title.

Spo got Co-COY.

Meanwhile, Ainge has never once drafted an all star.

James is their PG. Irving is in name only, he's a scorer.

LOL @ Lopez isn't known for being a scoring center.

Lol, crank up the excuse machine. It looks like the Jetsons robot.

Not sure why you keep bringing up Danny Ainge when all I was doing was talking about Pat Riley.

And Ainge drafted Al Jefferson who has been to multiple All-Star games. Get your facts straight or don't bother to reply. I have so little time for people who talk out of their ass.


Riley is garbage.

 

[AlpacaWine]

If Lopez was so good then why did you have to exaggerate his points per game average by 20%?
