If Hill really wants a ring he has a short list starting with S and ending before he gets to T. And the S stands for San Antonio and not Suns.
I can see Spurs offering a vet minimum contract and seeing which way he jumps.
He should really go back to Detroit and not get a ring but get his jersey retired instead.
Udoka would be a nice choice.Quote:

Awesome, we've devolved into the "you're an Aggie" smack, and of course the SAT/GPA nonsense.Quote:

I still don't understand how you're a Raptors fan, Utah has way more white boys than them.
beno is to good to go to summer league?
wtf
he could go there
so people his talent and then be traded to go a team that would play him to get him a good contract offer next year
BENO HAS NO BRAINS
scola's more help than hill. the last thing we need is another hobbled old man.
I'm an Aggie and don't fuck with me, asshole ---- EVER !!! After you complete your GED -- if you do -- get back with me.Quote:

Good article on possible destinations for Grant Hill...with San Antonio being among them. I still say it's not likely, but here's why it could happen and why it might not.

NBA teams' will to get Hill

Grant Hill is pondering his free-agency options. These are his leading candidates. He is talking to teams and could reach a verbal agreement but can't sign until July 11.
Suns
Possible offer: The Suns could use all or part of the midlevel exception (about $5.5 million) or the biennial exception ($1.83 million) but will limit it to a veteran's minimum ($1,219,590) because of luxury tax issues.
Good for Hill: Hill would have a significant role as a scorer and distributor on a title contender. Light practices would help with his injury history.
Bad for Hill: The Suns' interest is not a knee-jerk reaction like signing Jalen Rose, but Hill must wonder if promises would be kept.
Detroit Pistons
Possible offer: The Pistons could do up to a midlevel exception but are pursuing Morris Peterson, too.
Good for Hill: Hill played with Pistons President and friend Joe Dumars. His best, healthy NBA days were in Detroit, also a title contender.
Bad for Hill: The Pistons are confident, but they were confident in 2000, too. There are bad memories with Detroit from unknowingly playing on a broken ankle in the 2000 playoffs. He would back up Tayshaun Prince.
San Antonio Spurs
Possible offer: The Spurs could do a midlevel but likely would not use it all for Hill.
Good for Hill: Hill's agent, Lon Babby, also represents Tim Duncan and Bruce Bowen. His longtime shooting coach, Chip Engelland, is a Spurs assistant. San Antonio has rings to show off.
Bad for Hill: He would have to share time with wings Manu Ginobili, Michael Finley, Brent Barry and Bruce Bowen, and the system does not fit him as well.
Orlando Magic
Possible offer: The below-cap Magic can make any offer but will stick to the minimum.
Good for Hill: Hill's family (his wife is expecting a second child) is rooted in Orlando. He may feel he owes the Magic after making $92 million off injury-riddled seasons. Hill liked the Stan Van Gundy hire. Orlando believes it can keep him if it snags Rashard Lewis.
Bad for Hill: Hill wants a title, and the Magic may be the furthest from having that chance of any of his suitors.
Miami Heat
Possible offer: The Heat could go up to the midlevel exception but also is unlikely to offer it.
Good for Hill: The Heat need a third scorer, especially after losing Jason Kapono, and Hill would start there. Miami would not be a long flight from his home in Orlando.
Bad for Hill: Pat Riley's famously long practices could deter him, but Riley has cut that back for some players. Hill and Alonzo Mourning supposedly are not fond of one another.
Other teams: Toronto is likely out of the mix now that the Raptors agreed to terms with Jason Kapono for $24 million over six years. A source said New Jersey might also pursue Hill, but the Nets have not been mentioned by Hill's camp.
Damn I started a new thread on this and didnt even see it when I browsed the first 5 pages.........its tuesday 9 a.m. im so damn sleepy. Sorry Kori :).
One thought about a possible addition of Hill is that he can handle the ball well enough to take over the point when TP is out. As covered above, his game doesn't fit exactly what you would want in a Spurs' swingman (mainly that he hasn't demonstrated consistent 3 point range in his career). If you were to find a spot on the floor where his talents to penetrate, create, and score would fit it would be the 1. The question then would be about his ability to defend the 1. He has size, but defense at the 1 is predicated on quickness. If he was willing to join the Spurs at a cheap price I think the Spurs would be hard pressed to turn that down. But obviously, the Spurs add Hill if they dispose of Barry.
Maybe they could play Hill at the 4 if they go small. I'm not as convinced about that though. Overall, he would give the Spurs more flexibility in their lineup and things could be worse than having Hill as your 10th or 11th man.
Shoot ... my question is, what's a PhD student doing posting dumb smack like this? Most of the PhDs, DMins, and candidates for those degrees that I know are far above beating down others with their education. And very few of them have the time to post, let alone, read such drivel in the first place.
As a relatively puny M.Div. student (93 hours, about 3 years), I know I don't have time to take seriously 99% of the crap that gets posted here, let alone reply to it.
Why in the world Hill think his game fits Phoenix is beyond me. I guess being in a wheelchair after 40 is his prime objective.
The Spurs will probably dodge this bullet. The three teams Hill may go to (per ESPN this morning) are Orlando, Detroit or, most likely, Phoenix. :)
Tough to see him in Orlando after his starting spot just got taken...and they still have Turkoglu.Quote:
