Just landed. Told unequivocally by source that Grant Hill has NOT yet decided between Suns, Knicks, Bulls and Spurs.

Ok, now what happens both G. Hill and C. Butler say yes to the Bulls?

We send a LOT of Mexican food and David Robinson to Tayshaun Prince's house for a little "one on one."

What's going on with Prince. We have to be making a run at this guy.

I have a feeling Butler will be the next domino to fall, then Hill will make his decision.

What I want to know is the negotiation tactics of the teams. Do they talk to Butler and say you are our first choice and we offer you this. Then they talk with Hill and say you are our choice if Butler does not sign with us? That does not sound very convincing. Is it first come first serve?

[MannyIsGod]

I think - even given his age - Grant Hill is my first choice.

Best option is Prince. We all know pops going play small ball. He's 6'8/6'9. He's a pretty decent shotblocker & rebounder. Would not hate small ball nearly as much if Prince was at the 4. Just hope spurs are staying under the radar with prince & talks with butler & Howard are just a smokescreen.

Free-agent forward Caron Butler told the San Antonio Express-News Wednesday that he considers the Spurs his personal “frontrunners” for his services.

Butler met with Spurs officials Wednesday in San Antonio.

And later, Butler told the Express-News that he was pleased with how the meeting turned out.

“The meeting went great, I enjoyed it,” he said.

Butler said he is considering five teams — Detroit, Chicago, New Jersey, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Spurs.

But the “first-class” amenties he saw in San Antonio apparently have swayed him in his personal pecking order.

“I think the Spurs are the frontrunners, based on conversations I’ve had today,” he said.

Woohoo

By the way, Price is staying with the Pistons

*Great News. This guy was definitely a nuisance in the playoffs against the spurs and a handful before he got injured. Definitely Spurs material.
