OKC Thunder: 3 players that could realistically be dealt by trade deadline
By Mark Nilon
OKC Thunder player No. 3) George Hill
Last, but certainly not least, we have the least shocking inclusion on this list in George Hill.
We’ve been saying since his arrival in Oklahoma City that the veteran point guard should not be viewed as a long-term stay for the franchise. Frankly, at this point in his career, the 34-year-old is on a completely different trajectory than the Thunder is.
Of course, we are not alone without stance and, recently, reports began to surface that many in the “know” don’t believe Hill will make it past the March 25th deadline.
On the season, the guard is posting solid averages of 11.8 points, 3.1 assists, and 2.1 boards on 51 percent shooting from the floor and 39 percent shooting from deep.
Best served as a rotation player on a title contender rather than a main starter on the rebuilding Thunder, there have been many ideas as to where Hill could find himself come year’s end.
Recently, Bleacher Report proposed an ideal trade involving the guard heading to the Boston Celtics, but there are several destinations that could be seen as viable including both Los Angeles teams, the Dallas Mavericks, and the Philadelphia 76ers, just to name a few.
Regardless of where he may end up, the point is, as we head towards March 25th, there will likely be a handful of teams calling in to inquire about George Hill.
