Based on what I'm hearing tonight, wouldn't hold my breath on Grant Hill joining the Spurs.
Josh Howard???
Still better than though.
agree...actually, I was shocked, he is still in the league!
really!
Hill has had the advantage (sort of) of being sidelined most of his career so his legs are really fresh for a 39 year old dude. He would definitely be better than any realistic SF we could land.
I would take Grant hill at the MLE ($ 5M yr) for 2 years any day, over getting Bultler for ($ 8M/yr) for 3 years. (what the Clips gave him) . Especially knowing we just drafted SF leaonard ( Ranked 6th for Rookies)
for all you guys hating on grant hill he gave that suns team life when there shouldn't have been, and you have to think about locker room presence its an important variable to consider.
while i agree with his lack of 3 ball you have to look at what we really needed last year and that was some damn passion for the game more manu energy more players with heart we had 3's pouring all year and then they choked in the P.o's!!
jefferson/parker/bonner/played with as much heart as they would in a scrimmage game. pop f course keeping all our players with balls out the game as usual.. and on the subject of bonner i dont want that piece of crap wasting another minute of our time. now i hear trade talk pertaining tiago and chicago ??
of course matt is untouchable this just makes me sick guys.. there is nobody and i mean nobody we should be looking at over there .. i mean you know damn well the bulls arent giving up anyone good ..pop please restart yourself and lay off the grapes !
Chicago? Who the does Chicago have, that we could get for the price of Splitter?
Tiago, Bonner, Dice for Noah?
What , LOL
Heh... exactly. The only trades I see there all depend on Santa.Tiago, Bonner, Dice for Noah?
Asik + Gibson works, but I don't see any reason that Chicago makes that deal.
Not sure if this affects much in the Hill sweepstakes with Telfair being a guard, other than maybe the money that Phoenix will be able to offer to Hill. Too lazy to look up their salary situation and figure out the math right now.The Arizona Republic's Paul Coro also reports that there's "continued optimism" that Hill will stay in Phoenix. Coro also reports the Suns are close to landing backup point guard Sebastian Telfair.
Phoenix Suns close to contract with guard Sebastian Telfair
"We are moving closer," Telfair's agent, Andy Miller, said Wednesday night. "I anticipate us being able to put something together on Friday. We're having advanced dialogue."
This was already posted in another thread but thought it should be posted here as well to end this debate:
@paulcoro: Grant Hill has agreed to return to the Suns for a one-year, $6.5 million contract.
Case closed. Spurs got used for leverage - once again.
Let's move on.
with this deal, his made 140m nba salary ac ulated...for a guy 17yrs in the league while take 7yrs of money from orlando doing nothing lmao...
It's Leonard time.
Good, we didn't want him anyways.
oh so sad.
Too bad.
how about rip hamilton? i thought the pistons were gettin rid of vets
meanwhile pietrus goes to toronto for a 2nd round pick...
wouldnt mind having him
Dumbass. Have fun missing the Playoffs again...
Spurs aren't winning any time soon. They should be stocking up with draft picks and young players instead of going for fossils. All I care about this season is seeing Manu & Duncan play their last couple years together. The window is closed. Build for the future.
Battier, Butler, Josh Howard, Hill... who else was supposed to replace Richardson?
Are we out of SF options?
Besides, for all the nice things people say about Hill, I'll never forget he had a chance to come here a few years ago and one of his deciding factors (supposedly, again, obviously I wasn't there, just what I read at the time) was how practices were run by the Suns versus Pop and how hard Pop would work his guys versus the Suns, and treated everyone the same.
That told me something, especially from a guy coming off all of those years of injuries. Maybe I'm being insensitive or unfair and he has a legit reason to not want to kill himself in practice so he can prolong his career. Or maybe he had earned the right to say he didn't deserve to be treated or talked down to like a rookie.
But all I heard was "hard work, no thanks". I don't know, maybe he's right, Pop needs to lighten up.
Grant can help in a couple of ways. He's a great defender and you can run the offense through him because he's a great passer and has a high basketball iq. However he's not a good 3pt shooter.
I'm still mad at him for hitting those jumpers of Duncan in game 2 in '10. That really exposed Duncan's defensive decline. Never before would a team have thought of attacking Duncan for his lack of defense. What I didn't understand about the Spurs strategy in that series is why they didn't leave him open when all the other players were 3pt threats. If you had a choice between leaving JRich open or him it would have to be him.
