Jordan Hill returns to the Lakers

[All Net]

2 year, 8 million.

:rockon:

[PickernRoller]

Wants to win...nice. There goes Rush too. Time to move McBob to some other team for a solid piece. SHOOTERRRRRSSSSSSSSS!

[Foster5k]

Lakers continue to get more dominate. With their current roster, they definitely will fair better against OKC. However, depending on how Bynum plays, they still could lose to the Heat in 6.

[Batz]

Now can we get some firepower in the backcourt?

[All Net]

Jordan left 7 million on the table it seems. His agent says Nash joining was important.

[christian1923]

They got to find a way to get ronnie brewer now.

3. ???
4. Profit.

very underrated move... Lakers are going in this next 2 years, no question

[flipogb]

I remember Rockets fans and other NBA fans telling us Laker fans this guy was terrible , as in Kwame bad

[no pun intended]

Fvck yes. Now we need to sign a better pg than Blake. Or train Johnson-Odom or Morris to overtake his position.

Bynum needs to improve on his constancy, defensively and on double teams.

Sometimes pieces don't fit certain systems and coaches or compliment well with certain players. That's the case of Hill. He's still weak @ss shooter but he fights for rebounds like only a select few do in the league and is successful at it + he brings energy off-the bench.

[All Net]

daldridgetnt: Bradbury: "There were bigger offers but in the end he wants to join (Steve) Nash in trying to bring a championship to L.A."

[spiegel]

He is a good role player. Solid defender and good rebounder.

[Rekindled]

they need to get rid of Mcroberts now, shoudl be easy consdiering he is expiring

[G-Funk]

Dude was like 10 & 10 towards the end, for like 2 months, I wonder if they promised him playing time, they had better

Nice. I like this guy, wants to win instead of getting more $. :applause:

[DirtySanchez]

Nice!!!!!! Good young talent on the bench! Yes not a sexy name but a great signing!!!!

[BlackVVaves]

Hill
Jamison


Blake.

Lakers still need a couple shooters for their bench. I doubt you guys pull of Brandon Rush, but Terrence Williams is out there and, as its been repeated, would be ideal as a young, athletic shooter.

If Mitch is able to pull J Rich to the Lakers through a Dwight trade...

Dwight/Hill
Gasol/Jamison
MWP/Terrence Williams/Eyenga
Kobe/J Rich
Nash/Blake

Interesting...

That Webster kid is pretty useless. Calderon said he wants to be a Laker, strange considering he's still under contract. He'd be a serviceable back-up to Nash, though Blake (as shit as he is) is a better on the ball defender.

[therammingman]

why r u guys treating this dude like he is an all star?

[G-Funk]

Lakers should look into Ronnie Brewer

[Noof]

Hell yes :rockon: Gasol/Bynum/Jamison/Hill is a great rotation of bigs. Hopefully Mitch trades McRoberts for a shooting guard.

If they grab Brandon Rush its a wrap. championships until Nashs wheels fall off.

don't hate on mcbob or it's gonna get ugly!

don't hate on mcbob or it's gonna get ugly!

Not hating...just doesn't fit with Hill coming off the bench + we need shooters. I am sure he'll be an ok asset for another team off-the bench.

[ZenMaster]

That's great! Now we need Joodie Meeks!

[KeyNote]

Front court good to go

Need to get a back up 2 & 3 that can shoot still though

Nick young still out there...and brandon rush, only through S&T tho

lakers still have the mini-MLE..pretty sure they can get nick young for 3 yrs/9 mil

How is Jordan Hill better than Kwame Brown? And to think there were BIGGER offers for the guy is laughable. What was the lockout for? Extended vacation?

[IGOTGAME]

How is Jordan Hill better than Kwame Brown? And to think there were BIGGER offers for the guy is laughable. What was the lockout for? Extended vacation?

Why is he better than Kwame?

- can catch the basketball and finish
- younger, Kwame is getting up there in age
-longer and bouncer at this stage of his career
-mentally stronger
-better shotblocker
-better free throw shooter
-better rebounder
-smarter player

the only thing Kwame has on Hill is 1 v. 1 post defense.

[BlackVVaves]

Hill is a better rebounder (guy grabbed double digit rebounds several times in the playoffs. In limited time. Off the bench), better finisher around the rim, more athletic, higher ball IQ, and superior when it comes to pick and roll defense, which is key to getting out the West these days.

Kwame is the better post defender and......a #1 pick? :confusedshrug:

[ElPigto]

I remember Rockets fans and other NBA fans telling us Laker fans this guy was terrible , as in Kwame bad

We told you he was a damn good rebounder. This was apparent when the Rockets lost him to injury sometime in the middle of the season. He has a decent hook shot and a decent jumper. The problem was that he was always inconsistent. It is still up in the air whether he can be consistent for a whole season. If he is, then more power to the Lakers.

Edit: Oh yeah! He is an underrated passer. Once again, can he put it together and give consistent effort, that's yet to be seen. I hope he does, I always liked Hill, unfortunately he will never be more than just a role player. For the Rockets, we are damn good at getting role players, we just can't put a focal point around those role players :(.

Better rebounder is where it starts and ends. After 3 seasons Jordan Hill has done nothing to sell them on being better than Kwame Brown. Get real.

Doesnt sound like someone that is better than Kwame Brown. Unless a fan takes the "potential" label and runs with it another 2-3 seasons.

[sagr32]

Doesnt sound like someone that is better than Kwame Brown. Unless a fan takes the "potential" label and runs with it another 2-3 seasons.What does Kwame do well outside of Post D to make him better than Hill.

[IGOTGAME]

As someone who has watched Kwame for a long time...he can't be a reliable player on a good team because of his hands and his lack of mental fortitude. Also his free throw shooting doesn't help. Kwame is not piece you want to have to play 20-25 minutes a night if you plan on taking home a championship.

[AirTupac]

Kwame, mentally weak, small hands, dumb. Don't think any Laker fan would want Kwame over Hill. :oldlol:

Actually late season and playoff Jordan Hill rebounded, hit jumpers and played with fantastic energy. he was really good off the bench. If he plays like that he's well worth it. The question is if that was just for a contract. But he honestly looked real good.

[RazorBaLade]

Whens the last time kwame ever had a performance like hill did against okc late reg season?

get the f out

[Noof]

Didn't read thread. But if you think Hill will help the Lakers then you're a ****ing idiot. I've watched this guy play. He ****ing sucks. He can't post, can't rebound, can't shoot....his team defense sucks, man to man defense is even worse. He has low IQ. He can't do shit. He fukking sucks. I'm glad Houston got rid of him. Hope he ****s up the Lakers in the west.

He has good hands, won't make a bone headed move that loses a game for you otherwise they are not that far different when it comes to actual impact on the game. Good signing for a bench player, the price is right for a big. Nothing more

[quote=B

[B]

Yea so we have a .1 percent of actually nabbing him.That high? :roll:

Yeah that's what I had thought. No way he's coming to LA. His Qualifying Offer was probably larger than the Lakers MMLE

[sagr32]

[quote=B

[B]

His QO was 4.5 mil I Believeouch, so 1.5 million more than the best the Lakers can offer.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

mitch will probably find a loophole in the cba to land rush.

[Robster89]

Yea so we have a .1 percent of actually nabbing him.

We could offer him the MMLE, but GS could simply match.
Rumor has it they do have some interest in McRoberts. They do need a back up PF. Right now, they have Rush penciled in behind Thompson at back SG, with RJ and Harrison Barnes at the 3. Have to figure that they could play Barnes and Jack some at SG though, so possible they make a deal for McBob, but probably doubtful.

Meeks and Michael Redd are still out there, or possibly we are counting that something may be coming back in a deal for Dwight.

Does anyone know, with certainty, the deal with Nash and Jason Richardson. I've heard the rumors which seem to be false. But is there really bad blood between them?

[KOBEtherealKing]

WE STACKED!!

now Mcbob and blake for Brandon Rush then pick up Martell Webster , pick up calderon after he gets bought out

Bynum/Hill
Gasol/Jamison
MWP/Webster
Kobe/Rush
Nash/Calderon

:cheers:

calderon is fine but if lakers can somehow get rush.. why not put him to back up sf and sign delonte west or terrance williams... but I seriously dont think lakers are trying to sign or trade anyone till this dwight situation is over because they are looking to take back bad contracts which means either jrich or hedo. if they take back jrich i see them sign and trade for rush but if they take back hedo i see them signing williams as a backup sg or just letting ebanks play the backup 2 if hes not involved in the dwight trade.

You guys would have better luck as MWP your back up SG :oldlol:

Ebanks isn't close to being a competent enough jump shooter to be a guard. The guy shot 0% from three last year :wtf: :oldlol:

I'd say Terrence Williams and crossing your fingers on the Dwight trade to actually happen, then crossing those crossed fingers in hopes of J Rich coming along, would be your best bet for the time being.

[DirtySanchez]

He is a decent back up bigman for cheap. We can bring him in to play off Bynum Gasol and Jamison....we got a great four big rotation now.

Mitch is killing it this off-season!!!

That's a good deal for the lakers and it looks like Hill really wanted to stay in LA. Turned down quite of a bit of cash. And the Lakers have will have a beast frontcourt again this season.

but.....

:roll: Steve Blake and Josh McRoberts for Brandon Rush? Not this again. Barnes is a rookie, Jefferson is pretty bad at this point of his career, and they just traded Wright. I dont see why the lakers are allowed to have depth but not the Warriors? :confusedshrug:

I know you guys are just being optimistic but maybe a realistic trade....

He looked good when given minutes, and is young. Nice addition to our bench. One of the better rebounders. Guy had a few 10 rebounds in less then 20 min games last year.

Richardson
Rush
N. Robinson/Foye

Would be a dream come true, with DH of course.

Rich via trade
Rush via SnT trade
Robinson or Foye for mini MLE?

Howard - Hill
Gasol - Jamison
Artest - Rush - Ebanks
Bryant - Richardson - Goudelock
Nash - Robinson - Blake

Would be unstoppable.
Robinson/Foye, DH and Rich could happen, Rush is unlikely but I think Morris, Ebanks or Goidelock could have good years with Nash anyways.

Rich/Jamison/Hill is one if the better bench trios in the league.
Mitch has done phenomenal!

[UtahJazzFan88]

Lakers really need another SG or SF. Surely they can get one of CJ Miles, Randy Foye, Josh Howard, Leandro Barbosa. Hell, go after Nate Robinson who is a pretty good bench player and move Blake to SG.

[Story Up]

Barbosa for MLE would be cool, I was thinking if Josh Howard too. Would be a terrific addition.

Barbosa, Richardson, Ebanks, Jamison and Hill would be a prolific bench. Two starters, spark plug in Barbosa, great rebounder in Hill and Ebanks has game.
Blake and Godlock round out, not bad at all.

[Batz]

We need a backup point and backup guard. Preferably get a combo PG/SG guard and a SG/SF hybrid.

[AirTupac]

Delonte West anyone?

[illmaticone]

Delonte West would be perfect, adding that to Dwight/Jrich and I think LA is hands down the favorite to win the title.

Nash/Kobe/Jrich/Gasol/Dwight

Bench: MWP, Delonte West, Jamison, Jordan Hill, Steve Blake

What are the chances LA can land Delonte West? Would he sign for MMLE? I think Mitch plans to do a S&T dealing McRoberts for a SG/SF perhaps?

[RazorBaLade]

Do you guys feel this is a msg to orlando, bynum extends next if you idiots dont make the trade right now?

[swag2011]

I'm loving the Lakers front court right now. Bynum/Pau/Hill/Jamison is a great rotation.

Now we need some back court depth. McRoberts becomes expendable, maybe use him in a s&t deal for Brandon Rush? I doubt we can get him though, pretty sure GSW are gunna match any and ever offer for him.

Pretty sure the Lakers are already at 120 million in salary when you take in account the tax that they'll have to pay. They're saving the mini MLE for now, probably will decide for sure after the Dwight Saga ends.

Anyone looks good at seasons end. Each team he left he has not been missed. Lakers fans dont mind him because they have Bynum/Gasol starting. You only need but to much from your backups.

I'll even guide you in the right direction, compare both players Per 36 minutes last season.

Of course you'd rather have Kwame Brown on your team. You have no choice :rolleyes:

I wouldnt want Hill or Brown on my team. I most certainly wouldnt pick Brown just because he's a Sixers thats for sure. Outside of younger (cant say cheaper because he gets paid more than Brown) and rebounding better. There just aint much about Hill. Can I provide an argument Brown is better? No, but the arguments I see for what makes Hill better arent significant in my book. Its just a matter of knowing Kwame Brown given how long he's been in the NBA vs a young guy who after 3 seasons really hasnt done much to be excited for. We can isolate games from any player to make them look fantastic. NYK and Houston dont miss Hill. There is a reason for that.

Per 36? I dont give a damn about that man. :oldlol: Both are playing I wouldnt want to give significant minutes to. Sixers had Jordan Hill and announced he was starting? I'd laugh at my team just like I do now with the potential Brown/Hawes are our starters. And I refuse to get into a long argument over this when Kwaaaamay Brown is the other player. That in itself is a laugh. Something we can all agree on.

I want to know what teams were offering Hill more. Ridiculous to me.

He is better than Kwame in certain aspects of the game, while Kwame is better at other aspects of the game.

Hill is a better rebounder, shooter, finisher and passer. Kwame is a much better defender than Hill for sure. Both of them have butter hands. Honestly, Kwame > JHill or JHill > Kwame, who really gives a shit lol? Neither one is superior to the other and both fill in their particular roles equally well. So what exactly are Laker fans arguing? Overrating their young talent??

Sure if Golden State goes for it.. But it sounds like something that has a less than 50% chance of happening.

correct. pretty much every deal has less than 50% chance of happening...esp any scenario that I would come up with.
