I believe he is owed 10 million next year. I wonder if we were a backup on that plan or we couldn't put a trade together. I am guessing if it was Johnson, we would have needed to take back more salary. Maybe that was the rub and OKC just found a cleaner deal?Sorry, I didn't hear any elaboration on the George Hill talks. Was mentioned in the context of reporting that they were actively pursuing this and other deals, that they were particularly interested in Hill, and when those deals disappeared at the eleventh hour, this Redick opportunity came up, giving them a quick decision to make.
If we traded for Hill, that would have taken us out of the bigger free agents this offseason, outside of sign and trades, right?
I think the Hill info confirms that they see additional playmaking as a priority. They ended up getting a shooter, which they viewed as an even higher priority.
If I hear anything else on Hill, I'll try to get back.
