Y en el Sactown Royalty sobre el artículo que pegaba Sabio:George Hill spoke with Kayte Christensen after the game and revealed that he had lost a family member back home and that’s why he was away from the team.
The premise is that the Kings tricked Randolph, Carter, and Hill into signing contracts with a playoff-contending team, but when Scott Perry left, the Front Office reversed direction and decided to tank for a top-5 pick instead. There are a few issues with the information that is most likely coming from a pro-Hill source:
Scott Perry was not the General Manager of the Sacramento Kings when these negotiations took place. Vlade Divac was, and still is, the General Manager. Even with the Kings past Kangziness, it’s hard to believe that the organization allowed a person who wasn’t in charge to have large-money discussions without the head honcho, Vlade Divac, present, and to spout a completely different philosophy than the Front Office desired.
The timeline is pretty tough as well. Free agency opened on July 1st, these deals were made on July 10th, and Perry left for the Knicks after several days of negotiations on July 14th. That would mean the franchise reversed directions multiple times in a matter of a couple of weeks. There could have been talks taking place prior to the official designation of July 1st, but I can’t imagine that Vlade signed the largest free agent contract in Kings history without personally speaking to George about the direction of the team.
Dave Joerger hasn’t shoved the veterans to the end of the bench. The three players to start the most games for Sacramento this year? George Hill, Zach Randolph, and Garrett Temple. It’s not that Coach isn’t giving Hill a chance to play more minutes, it’s that Hill’s atrocious production hasn’t justified giving him additional time on the court.
This roster was never going to be competitive. It’s simple. A core made up of George Hill, 36-year old Zach Randolph, 40-year old Vince Carter, a few career bench veterans, as well as rookies and sophomores isn’t making the playoffs. If George Hill and his associates thought this was a contender in the stacked Western Conference, there are bigger issues at play than his happiness.
I don’t question Tony Jones as a writer, or the validity of his actual sources, I question the sources’ purely pro-Hill stance. The accusation of Sacramento deceiving the veterans doesn’t come across as accurate information; but instead sounds more like a primer from Hill’s camp to make a coming trade request more palatable for his reputation. It’s not that he’s played poorly, or that he decided to take money over wins, it’s that the Kings are gonna Kangz.
It’s becoming more and more clear through different reports that Hill is unhappy in Sacramento, and that’s perfectly acceptable. His playing style doesn’t seem to fit the offensive game plan, and he’s losing minutes to rookies, albeit justifiably. Maybe if he wants to be in the postseason so badly, he should play like it?
I don’t believe that George Hill thought this roster would be playoff competitive, or that he was told the number one priority would be winning games over development.
It seems more likely that Hill saw a $57 million dollar contract sitting there, which is $13 million more than he’s made in his entire career, knew there wasn’t a similar offer on the market, and committed to be a veteran leader on a rebuilding squad.
If that’s the case, and Hill is now regretting his decision, he’s certainly allowed to request a move to a different situation, but pretending that the Kings used the ruse of playoff contention to get him to sign in Sacramento comes across as a desperate attempt to justify a money-grabbing decision he now wishes he hadn’t made.

Todavía no he visto el partido vs Philly, pero por lo que leo, Malachi Richardson ha hecho una muy buena defensa al final. Por cierto, Randolph se ha quedado a 1 rebote de los 10.000 en su carrera NBA. Este hombre es como el buen vino, mejora cuantos más años pasan.
“I thought Malachi Richardson was super,” Joerger said. “… That was a happy, happy locker room for Malachi Richardson. He played very well, he bodied (Simmons), used his size. He’s a strong, strong guy and just tried to stay between him and the basket. I thought Malachi very quietly had a terrific game.”
Bueno a ver... tiempo al tiempo, Mason como base que debe organizar al equipo es un desastre y lo será casi siempre, anotar y tirarse mandarinas sin ningún pudor se le da de lujo, alguien lo comparo con Thomas y acertó de lleno.AleixG7 escribió:Lo de Frank Mason ya comienza a tener muy buena pinta, y lo de De'Aaron Fox todo lo contrario.

Me habré explicado mal jaja. Me refiero en estos momentos de la temporada, está claro que Fox tiene más potencial y hay que tener paciencia. Pero creo que salir Mason de titular (si no está Hill) y Fox en el banquillo les iría mejor a ambos.OMR.RAYO escribió:Bueno a ver... tiempo al tiempo, Mason como base que debe organizar al equipo es un desastre y lo será casi siempre, anotar y tirarse mandarinas sin ningún pudor se le da de lujo, alguien lo comparo con Thomas y acertó de lleno.AleixG7 escribió:Lo de Frank Mason ya comienza a tener muy buena pinta, y lo de De'Aaron Fox todo lo contrario.

Fox tiene que madurar mucho y eso a algunos rookies le lleva bastante tiempo, así que paciencia que es un crío aún.
A Z-Bo hay que traspasarlo el muy ****** nos va a hacer ganar más partidos de la cuenta... [emoji51]
