With Chris Paul joining forces with James Harden in Houston, the Spurs’ offseason plans may be entering contingency mode. That could mean standing pat and doing an NBA 2K simulation for 2018, or it could mean continuing to try and move some pieces around to make room for another point guard. If they decide on the latter, a George Hill return makes plenty of sense.
As noted yesterday, the team and Pop’s favorite player have a reported “mutual interest.” And while those are the same words used to accent the Paul rumors, Hill’s ties to the organization and community certainly lend them a bit of weight.
