 Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2014 9:56 am Post subject: Jordan Hill one player teams make trade calls for but L.A. has no plans to move him |
|
|
| Quote: | Back in mid-July, when the Lakers gave free-agent big man Jordan Hill a two-year deal worth $18 million, the contract brought some head-scratching and furrowed brows. Hill had bounced through three teams in his five years in the league, mostly coming off the bench as an energy guy, and had clashed with Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni the previous year.
A contract that once looked overwrought now appears eminently fair, to the point where the Lakers are considered likely to exercise the $9 million option they hold on Hill’s deal next season. On a roster widely viewed as devoid of trade assets, sources told Sporting News that Hill is the one guy about whom the Lakers get realistic trade calls—but that LA has no plans to move him. |
LINK
It is nice to hear how much teams value Hill... last year teams were only offering a low 1st round pick although that probably was also never on the table.... not sure if this source is recent as teams like Min/BK now have trio of players available. |

| Of course we aren't interested. The Laker front office over value their players so much so that they'd rather get nothing in return for them. The Laker front office is now the old Clippers front office. |

Of course no one said that the Lakers had no plans to move Hill. Another case of crappy reporting, something that most fans have become accustomed to. And the typical sheep follow blindly.

| The fact this report even came out suggests Hill is probably gone. And why not? Get a pick, maybe another asset, call it a tank. |

Agreed. it is kinda suspicious that this would come out the day before the Nets/Wolves made there quality players available... I really don't believe this report...... and I'm guessing the Lakers don't want the media to know what they have on the table. |

1) He's only going to gain value leading up to the deadline
2) We're stealth tanking, trading Hill for assets is a direct sign otherwise
3) Hill is quality player who can be a piece of a championship roster. He and Nick are the only two things (Davis too) that are holding this team together chemistry/effort/passion wise outside of Kobe.
4) We're not going to be able to sign more than one max free agent this summer and we have enough for one guy while keeping Jordan. If we feel like we got a shot in the offseason at somebody unexpected or we want to go all in on bringing in roster talent, we can just not pick up the option then.
For now, I think our best bet is to keep and let him expire in 2016 then bring him back on a much lower/longer term deal.
Get our pick this year, add one max guy this summer (Rondo, Gasol, Butler, Love, etc) fill in the roster around them with more one year deals then in 2016 try and lure Durant to a team with a core of Max Contract Player X + Randle + Top 5 Pick + Houston Pick + Nick + J Hill + Ed? |

to ATL for Dennis Schroder

| RealGM is saying 4-5 teams have inquired about Lance Stephenson.... but mentioned no names.... I don't think the Lakers are one of those teams... unless the Lakers think the risk is worth it especially if they have playoffs as the goal. |

i honestly think we are out of the playoff picture and having lance takes out the top 5 pick and also a max slot for the 2015 free agent.
so i prefer giving J hill away for NOP pick which houston has or to his hometown ATL |

The real question is what team is HILL willing to accept since he has a trade veto.

There is still 60 games left and we're only like 6-7 games out of the playoff spot....... anything can happen.... the Lakers know this.... and probably are looking to do something now to turn the ship around... there not gonna listen to pro-tankers in LG or Magic..... the Laker players have already pushed the tank-talk out the door. |

no team is calling for j hill's expiring contract. people are calling to utilize his skills meaning they will pick his team option.
its not that hard to understand |

We're only 6-7 games back? You do realize we've only played what, 21-22 games? At this rate, by the end of the season, we would be 30-35 games back.
We were tied for 1st on opening night though.

Yeah...... but I think the lack of effort on defense has to do more with the identity that the Lakers don't have as a team....... it makes it hard to have a team defense when your players don't even know what there roles are. |

what are u talking about? Since the freaking media session BS has put 100% emphasis on defense and still they are pathetic.
this tells Scott is just doing Lip Service to defense and his players are not buying or capable of playing defense |

You don't believe that Hill worked on his game in the offseason and that Scott is a big supporter of him? Because that is all the linked report said.
