After admitting on 1070 The Fan’s The Dan Dakich Show that the Pacers miss George Hill, Kevin Pritchard explained that they traded him because they needed more speed and another player who “could make plays on the offensive end.” He immediately followed that up with this particularly telling nugget:
“...and (Jeff) Teague desperately wants to be here, so that was one of the critical, important pieces. We knew he wanted to be here.”
Reading between the lines, it can probably be assumed that Hill did not assure them of the same.
