    I have a funny feeling we're going to do some things to make it possible to sign George Hill...:crystalball:

    Because me and a few other people have said 5-6th seed, and some have even said 8.

    You can stop having a confirmation bias and join reality anytime.

    I just think a full year with Nurkic is going to be the difference. If he stays healthy, he was legitimate cog in what we did and players fed off his energy and confidence.

    If we barely make the 8th playoff seed I will consider this season a success. The West is going to ri-dic-u-lous this year.

    I'm hoping we can get Boston to take back Turner via trade.

    Neil needs some wicked voodoo to rid this contract.

    Like move every single player that we have?

    We could trade CJ for future picks, then find buyers for Crabbe, Leonard, Harkless and Turner. And end up with a Lillard back up.

    Whatever happened with Chase Budinger? He showed glimpses of being a pretty damn good NBA player and then got hurt and it seems like I haven't seen him play in about 3 years.

    Many people here forget that the Heat finished 30-11 last year. That's a top team winning percentage for half of the season.

    If i'm Gordon, i'm trusting Riley and then Ainge. Fuck getting destroyed by the Warriors and the Texas teams year after year.

    Are you married?

    I just saw MM already asked but I didn't get to read this when it was new because my wife was making me do stuff.

    Every married guy on Earth takes what his wife wants into account. Otherwise you'd see nothing but sports cars on the roads instead of sedans and minivans. Fact of life

    I've never heard of a pool like that here. I'll ask around because depending on who's doing the petting, I'm in.

    Got a feeling he is going to Boston. Utah will be fine though. Mitchell is a big talent.

    Hahaha!:tongue2:

    Seriously though guys, why wouldn't Hill b good to add? He should come fairly cheap now that all teams don't really need a pg, Hill is a good player (his fg% is good, he can shoot the 3 decent, his decision making is good, etc.), seems like a good character guy, he & Napier would b excellent backups for Dame & Cj, & I think he'd mesh/fit in really well chemistry-wise on/off court w/ our guys.

    ps or... I'd b happy to add Lin (seems the easier route) instead:wink:

    Disagree. I think there's not much difference between Shabazz Napier and Ellis.

    Hill is a very good player and won't come cheap (except if he goes somewhere like San Antonio because they have voodoo powers). Why would he come here? He's a starter who deserves starter's minutes. He was Utah's best player for long stretches last year. I assume they went after Rubio because they thought they couldn't afford Hill.
