You know what, I was literally looking over Hill's numbers last night. I was going to suggest him today 
Would love to have him. That's the kind of moves we need to make
Guys only 25 and checks all the boxes we are looking for

If they can get him for a reasonable deal, I'd be all for it. He's leaving the Pacers for sure.

Just had a report from an NBA GM suggesting he will get $7-9M this offseason. I would love to be able to upgrade to a real SF for that type of money. A high energy hustle SF who can can actually shoot, defend multiple spots (including ball handlers) and play small ball 4. We inquired about him at the deadline, but no traction. He makes a lot of sense and realistically our ability to offer $$$ plus a starting role should intrigue him.
If Demps sticks around, I definitely think we make a strong push to sign him.
Pacers are kicking themselves for not picking up his option.

Getting Batum or even Barnes would be a nice splash and a big upgrade. Tossing aside how realistic it is, I'm not sure throwing either guy a max is the most prudent move for where this team is now.
Going after 2nd tier guys a la Portland last summer makes sense to me. They need more just competent NBA players and guys who can fill roles. You believe in Holiday/Davis? Great, build out around them. A guy like Hill, still young, at a position of need, and perhaps ready for a breakout is a good bet. Courtney Lee would be a solid addition/Gordon replacement. And so on.
If the cap jumps to $110M after this coming season, he'll be able to go wherever he wants. If the Pels want any chance of landing a guy like that, they have to nail this summer and return to the playoffs.
I think they can get back into the playoffs with just a few minor tweaks and just non Hindenburg level injuries. Less confident on how they do this summer. I'm just dreading seeing the tweet about them moving the 1st for Knight or Brook Lopez or Monroe. Or that they have acquired Rose or Rudy Gay.
