George Hill had an incredible year for the Jazz last season. His contributions did a large part in rounding out Utah's starting lineup and helping them reach the second round of the playoffs. However, with Utah trading for Ricky Rubio the day before free agency it looks like the Jazz won't be making an effort to keep Hill.
This leaves Hill with options across the NBA and two of the teams reportedly showing interest in him are the Nuggets and Spurs. Hill used to play in San Antonio before he was traded for Kawhi Leonard. It's early, but that trade probably worked out.

With Emmanuel Mudiay not panning out the way they wanted, the Nuggets have shown interest in capable veteran point guards. Hill doesn't need the ball in his hands, which means he'd be able to let Nikola Jokic run the offense.
San Antonio is the real interesting option here. The Spurs could lose out on Patty Mills this summer and Tony Parker is starting to show age. Hill could be the veteran needed to help keep the PG position locked down while they transition into a team built more around Leonard. Either way, anybody who signs Hill will be happy with what they get. He's one of the most consistently good point guards in the NBA.
