When NBA free agency opens this summer, keeping Gordon Hayward will be the top priority for Utah Jazz GM Dennis Lindsey. Re-signing point guard George Hill is next on the list for the team; despite missing 33 games over the course of the season, Hill was a huge part of the Jazz winning 51 games and advancing to the second round of the playoffs.
That said, Hill’s big year may just have pushed his price tag out of the team’s comfort zone. If that ends up being the case, Hill walks and the Jazz aren’t yet comfortable with handing the keys over to Dante Exum, Lindsey and Co.
