In news that went mostly under the radar, George Hill said he found out he was traded to the Utah Jazz is the least personal way possible.
A voice mail.
According to Vigilant Sports, it was as simple as that when Larry Bird traded the Hometown Hero.
After a workout, Hill first learned he was traded when he listened to a voicemail from Pacers President Larry Bird saying “we had to trade you to Utah.”
RTV had the same quote, along with Hill’s frustration that he won’t retire in an Indiana Pacers uniform.
