Woj: Free agent forward Solomon Hill has agreed to a four-year, $52M deal with New Orleans, league source tells @TheVertical.

Candidate for one of the worst deals? Even though he did well in some stretches last year, it seems like an overpay for a backup who only averaged 4,2 ppg last season.
Jack of all trades, master of none.

What is going on?
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Well, to be fair, Lowe said he was one of those breakout guys that could surprise people next season. He predicted a lot of breakout players right last year. So maybe it's not that bad.

Well I guess my thought of them going for Rondo is dead...

I like Hill and I guess the Pelicans had to sign some guys but man. That's a lot.

Crazy summer.

Could end up being an Aminu type bargain though.

Someone needs to pay him so BKN doesn't. May still be a bad team but an extra win here or there isn't good for us.

Good time to be a professional basketball player.

I guess we can now put "low-scoring bench players" right up there with "left-handed middle relievers" on the I'm Paid Way More Than I Deserve list.

Strong defender and good rebounder. Just needs to add that jump-shot. A candidate for a Jae Crowder like leap if he can get that jump-shot correct.

Without that jumper though, he is only an average backup SF/SG.
