Solomon Hill signs one year deal with Hawks

[gurpilo]

Means Kings are matching?

Solomon Hill

[LucastheThird]

Eww

[RedDawg#8]

Didnt we have this guy at one point before and waived him?

[JayBirdHawk]

Or no Skal.

[NBASupes]

It seemed like LP and TS valued having another player who can defend wings over another straight up big considering Bruno, Okongwu, JC, Gallo, and Capela.

Small ball with Gallo at 5 would be interesting in certain situations

I think we flipped him to Memphis for Parsons

( the role of Peoriabird will be played by TheNorthCydeRises, whom I agree with on this issue. )

 

We need to stop with the small ball. We got killed on the boards going small. Houston has proven that small ball is junk science. If LP goes small, it just proves that he's not a good coach.

He won’t really see the floor but was hoping we would have kept Skal

[AHF]

Not a big fan of this.  Would much rather have Skal back than bringing Hill in.  Putrid offensive player - FG% less than 40% for his career (and I don't think his 3pt% last year of 36.8% was sustainable).  Ok and somewhat versatile defender but no future with this team.  One year minimum salary deal.  Why bother?

Depth signing, and locker room presence. I think he understands he won't see playing time unless certain guys get injured/get COVID.

Skal looks to me like he has the potential to be a long-term addition to the rotation and that he offers more upside as a fill-in player.  Skal's biggest worry is health.  Wonder if this means he won't be ready to start the season or something.  I view this move entirely from the perspective of Solo vs Skal.  That is a no-brainer to me unless Skal is still hurting.

I think that it's a situation where Skal doesn't see where he'd get minutes or he wants more than Atlanta is offering.

Again, do we know if Hills deal is guaranteed? We can still sign Skal to a minimum too and guarantee it later. Solomn may be a camp body.

Until it's announced that Skal has signed a contract else where, i'll hold out hope.  I think we can have 20 for training camp, so maybe Hill is NG.

[gurpilo]

I still think this means no Bogdanovic

Why would a minimum contract player make you think that?

I'd be thrilled if Hill is non-guaranteed but he seems like he is good enough that somebody should be willing to give him that.  He is better than Damian Jones, for example.
