    Doubt it. George Hill is a much better 3-pt shooter than Eric Gordon though.

    I think this is a chess move by the Kings to prop up his value. Trying to squeeze more out of the Cavs.

    I would take Eric Gordon the three point champ over Goerge in a clutch 3 situation any day

    Im sure Hill probably averages 2 attempts a game vs probably 10 from Gordon. Just guessing on numbers.

    Yeah on his 3 attempts a game. :D

    The guy taking 10-15 a game is the better shooter, and it isn't very close. Eric Gordon would shoot 56% If he cut out all his attempts, save 3 or 4 of the best, most wide open looks. Sheesh...

    lol i love this argument from ryan fans. what size are you talking about? listed sizes are always embelished.
    he's no more than an inch and a half taller than ariza and mbah, and if he weighs more its not by much. personally i think he's 6'8.5 and 225-230lbs, in shoes.
    and he cantbulk up w/o messing up his shot

    mbah/ariza's defense > ryan's tiny size advantage

    I'd assume the only reason they want George Hill is because Cleveland has shown big interest in him, making a Lebron opt-in trade much easier in the summer.

    Doubt it. The Cavs have interest to make a run this year with lebron. If lebron leaves they don’t have a need for george hill

    That’s hilarious. If/when Ryno is dealt the analysts will say Morey made a mistake tinkering with a top team etc. Gerald Green has already replaced Ryno’s hesitating a$$ on offense. Luc and PJ cover the position on defense.

    probably just trying to facilitate a 3 team deal. the good news is its not going to be hard to upgrade ryno. almost anyone we get will have a better contract and probably a more well rounded skillset.

    Doesn’t sound like that to me. Looks like EG and George Hill (or my choice Avery Bradley) would be similar to EG and Lou Williams last year off the bench except better defense and 3pt shooting.

    Looking at the math, rockets could do a hill/koufos deal for ryno, Black, Troy and onuaku that would actually save the kings money next year and keep us under the tax.

    Yeah, I'm honestly not worried about replacing Anderson, especially considering he's been a lackluster offensive weapon this season. George Hill would be awesome depth-wise and I think we shouldn't underestimate how much more effective a healthy/rested CP3 would be.

    This trade going down would be a miracle though. Hopefully the Rockets can offer enough picks to make it happen, but Morey may be waiting to save those picks for maneuvering for LeBron. Guess we will know soon enough.

    Hey, we got a Ryan Anderson deal over here. We need more Cleveland.

    ;)

    Like squeeze more **** out of the Cavs? Are they not sending enough **** as is? :p Highly doubt they're getting the Brooklyn pick.

    This has absolutely no chance at happening. If I’m not mistaken. We want to operate over the cap this summer. And it’d make it harder to get Lebron cause they can’t be traded back to cleveland.
