Suns land Hill

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Oberto?

Huh? You mean if Nash is on Bowen? Well, Im sure he'd do a much better job defending Finley, Barry and Horry than they would do on him.

That is, if Horry doesn't retire.

Assume Grant Hill starts.

1. Who does he start over?

2. Who guards who for Phoenix?

Parker
Finley
Bowen
Duncan
Oberto

You're beating your chest about mismatches. One of Nash or Hill will be guarding Oberto. That's a layup every freakin' time for SA.

[Findog]

you'd like that wouldn't you?

Well, seeing as how I'm a Mavericks fan, that's not a big revelation, is it? Nor is it a stretch for that outcome to be borne out, as past history would indicate.

Mavericks are the ultimate Jekkyl and Hyde team when it comes to the playoffs. We'll see what happens next year.

[ATRAIN]

Spurs fans are definately scared...all these posts about someone they pretend not to care about!!!

I am more afraid of your stupid Gorilla mascot than I am of HIll. Hill should be scared of

Parker - Bell (all nba-defense 1st team)
Finley - Grant Hill
Bowen - Steve Nash
Duncan - Amare Stoudemire
Oberto - Shawn Marion

Too easy. Next?

bell can't guard parker.

bell can't guard parker.

Not too worried about that. We'll take our chances.

After signing Hill, I wonder who has the oldest team now (on average)? Suns or Spurs.

Seriously though, it's gotta suck to have been injury plagued during one's prime years. Either he is just unlucky or he is a klutz. You tell me.

[Oh, Gee!!]

he's the ken griffey, jr. of the nba

Sucks that it happened to such a character guy too.

Correct yourself asshole

You are right about one thing, it is too easy for the Spurs.

[LavaLamp]

About the only one who can guard Parker is those Alien thingies that stick to your face and wrap its tail around your neck.

[Zarko]

Don't see why everyone is hating on the Suns signing Hill. He is a solid pick up for the vet min. The spurs have been picking up role players like this for years now. Its amazing that we criticize other teams for trying to surround their core with veterans. If anything, we provided them the blueprint for how to win!

That said, he will be a cog in the wheel there. Not an all star, but he can contribute good minutes.

You're right, Spurs would sweep in four.

Bell couldn't stay in front of Parker this year, and that was before Tony rocked the Finals and got even more confidence

Amare guarding Duncan? Your coach doesn't have the balls for that. He puts Marion on Tim, and Tim abuses him.

, do you even watch your team play?

I'd love to see Hill on Finley too, Finley has a nice little middle to low block post up game, and Hill would be the perfect defender for Fin to abuse down there.

But hey, look at the bright side - more scores for the opposition means more chances for your team to get out and run

Uh, the difference is the Spurs actually pick up guys who won't break down by the end of the season, unlike Hill.

[Avitus1]

What Phx should focus on is getting rid of there coach if they want to win a le.

[Testing]

I don't understand, hes supposed to take over Bell's spot in the lineup? That's a major downgrade on defense. That'd be like bowen coming off the bench...your under utilizing one of your primary strengths.

So you are abandoning your argument that Hill will have to guard Oberto.

Thank you very much. OWNED!

Btw - I VERY much like the Suns chances in a Hill vs. Finley matchup.

[BillsCarnage]

Grant Hill will look great in purple in gold. And he cost them very little. Nice signing Kerr!

WTF?!?!? Purple and GOLD???

So Hill is your missing piece huh? LOLOLOL. Gotta love idiot Suns fans. They are the best whiny ignorant fans ever!

well, the Spurs would have signed Hill too for the price

[VaSpursFan]

well, the Spurs would have signed Hill too for the price

we would have signed him as a role player, not a starter. PHX is actually considering starting grant hill despite his fragility.

[SpursFanInAustin]

Only difference is that Spurs would be signing Hill to be the 10th or 11th man, Suns are signing him to start or even be in the rotation.

AHF said Spurs don't sign players that would break down physically even as "role players." They would have signed Hill up as a role player for the price.

[picnroll]

Wow. Are the Suns really planning to start Hill and put Raja on the bench to start games? That makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe they just have to tell Hill he's going to start to get him to sign then once the season starts and it obviuosly isn't working put Bell back in as the starter. I mean is not exactly as if the Suns have Howard and Darko covering Hill's ass on defense.

[SpursFanInAustin]

I don't even consider 10th-12th men as even role players, they're scrubs who only play in mop up time.
