The Utah Jazz have added themselves to the Ricky Rubio sweepstakes this offseason. The Minnesota Timberwolves reportedly have interest in moving him and acquiring a star point guard to pair with their new acquisition Jimmy Butler, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein. Rubio hung around for the entirety of the 2016-17 season, proving to be a […]

If you thought the Minnesota Timberwolves were done with a draft night trade for All-Star forward Jimmy Butler, you’re sorely mistaken. The Twin Cities are going all-in on free agents in an effort to make this roster a contender as most intend to beef up during this offseason. President and head coach Tom Thibodeau reportedly […]

This summer is going to be an interesting one for Ricky Rubio, as he is once again included in a lot of trade chatter. It is unknown where he’ll up before the start of next season, but the Minnesota Timberwolves already have a contingency plan should he ultimately be traded. The team is apparently interested […]

George Hill may have already hinted that he plans to stay put with the Utah Jazz, but he has also made it clear that his free agency decision this summer will depend on his “little brother’s.” The 31-year-old point guard recently admitted that Gordon Hayward‘s decision would factor in on his own. He also added […]

In the present-day landscape of NBA free agency, it is becoming more and more of the norm for players to walk, as opposed to staying with their current club for more money and security. However, there are obvious exceptions to such trends, and there’s a solid chance you can add Utah Jazz point guard George Hill to such a […]

The Utah Jazz will look to avoid an 0-3 hole when they host the Golden State Warriors in Salt Lake City tonight. The West’s fifth seed will ride the coattails of All-Star swingman Gordon Hayward, who scored a game-high 33 points in the team’s Game 2 loss, and Rudy Gobert, who dominated the glass with […]

The Utah Jazz will trot point guard Shelvin Mack in the starting lineup in place of an injured George Hill for Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors tonight, the team announced prior to the game. Mack is a fast-paced rim-attacking guard that will suit Utah in the drive-and-kick game while also favoring the transition […]

The Utah Jazz will be without point guard George Hill for tonight’s Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors due to soreness in left big toe, according to the team. Hill was rather ineffective to start the series, tallying a mere seven points on 3-of-9 shooting through his 28-minute stint on the court, marking his lowest […]

The Utah Jazz will be short three starters on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers, with Rodney Hood and Derrick Favors sidelined with knee injuries, while point guards George Hill and Raul Neto nurse groin injuries, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. The timing couldn’t be worse for the Jazz as they try to hold on […]

Sunday turned out to be a good one for the Utah Jazz. With a little help from the New Orleans Pelicans, they were able to accomplish a feat that the franchise last accomplished in 2012 — clinching a spot in the postseason. With the Denver Nuggets‘ loss to the Pelicans, the Jazz secured a playoff […]

It came down to the wire before the San Antonio Spurs decided to trade George Hill for Kawhi Leonard on the night of the 2011 NBA Draft. Literally. Reportedly, Gregg Popovich’s love of George Hill — who the Spurs sent to the Indiana Pacers for Leonard — nearly prevented the trade from ever happening. Popovich says Spurs […]

The Utah Jazz made one of their most important signings this offseason on veteran point guard George Hill. The pride of IUPUI made his mark as one of the favorites of coach Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs, then landing in Indiana, where he was the Pacers‘ starter during four of his five seasons […]

The Utah Jazz had been aggressive during the summer signing free agents and acquiring veterans to solidify their roster. They aren’t out of cap money yet either, but they do have to make a tough decision. The team has to make a decision on whether they should extend point guard George Hill or big man Derrick Favors. […]

The hapless Utah Jazz will have bodies out of the rotation yet again, as point guard George Hill (sprained right thumb) and power forward Derrick Favors (left knee bone contusion) will be out of the lineup against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. Luckily enough, shooting guard Rodney Hood will come […]

Updating a previous report, the Utah Jazz will be without their starting backcourt of George Hill and Rodney Hood tonight vs. the Memphis Grizzlies, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. Hill is sitting his fifth straight game due to a thumb injury despite being a participant in practice earlier today. Hood has been battling a nasty cold and […]

The Utah Jazz have a series of players in danger of missing Monday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, according to a report by Tim MacMahon of ESPN. Rodney Hood, one of only two starters to have played every game this season, is questionable to play due to a nasty cold, which he’s battled through during the […]

Utah Jazz point guard George Hill will sit out tonight’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a sprained right thumb, the team announced on Twitter. This is a momentum-killer for Hill, who was just named Western Conference Player of the Week, averaging 20.4 points and five assists per game. The Jazz will go with Shelvin […]

The Utah Jazz envision offseason point guard acquisition George Hill as a long-term fit in the system and can likely attempt to sign him to a contract extension this season, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. The move would prevent Hill from hitting the free-agent market this offseason and secure him as part of Utah’s long-term […]

Utah Jazz fans have five reasons to be excited as their team’s whole starting lineup cracked the Sports Illustrated Top 100 NBA players of 2017 rankings. Without further ado, let’s see what Sports Illustrated’s Ben Golliver and Rob Mahoney had to say about the teammates. No. 85: Rodney Hood (SG) “In Year Two, Rodney Hood completely flipped […]

As George Hill starts his journey in a new uniform for the Utah Jazz, his journey as a human being is in an upward trend. Hill was taking a walk with his family around Salt Lake City on Monday night when he noticed a small group of homeless people with not much to their devices but […]

It’s not always easy coming home. For George Hill, when he was traded after three seasons with the San Antonio Spurs to the Indiana Pacers, he was getting a unique chance that not many professional athletes get. Hill was born in Indianapolis and played his college ball at IUPUI. He’d be returning home to play for […]

After playing five seasons with the Indiana Pacers and hoping to finish his career in his hometown, George Hill was caught off-guard after being traded to the Utah Jazz back in July. He was part of the three-team deal that sent the 12th pick of this year’s draft to the Atlanta Hawks and Jeff Teague […]

After being traded to the Utah Jazz, news broke out that George Hill was notified about it by the Indiana Pacers only through voicemail. Weeks after the rumors surfaced, his former team took to Twitter on Wednesday and gave their side: To clarify some misinformation that has been reported, Larry Bird informed George Hill of his trade […]

Earlier this month, the Indiana Pacers traded point guard George Hill to the Utah Jazz in a three-team deal that also involved the Atlanta Hawks. The Pacers moved Hill in order to make space for the player they were receiving, Jeff Teague. It is usually a difficult situation being traded, but it may have been even […]

The Utah Jazz stayed out of the fray. They weren’t chasing Kevin Durant in the Hamptons, and they weren’t trying to negotiate a last minute deal with Dwyane Wade. What they did do was improve their roster through a series of quiet trades and signings the past few days, elevating them right into the Western […]

The off-season is officially under way! We have been hearing plenty of rumors circulating for the past couple of weeks that have included some big time players. Today, the first trade of the summer has been finalized. Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to break the news just a little while ago: Atlanta is sending guard […]
