    ESPN was reporting this. also heard it on another site.

    take it with a grain of salt. there is NOTHING finalized about this, which players are involved and has not been mentioned from the Spurs side. just found it interesting and thought id drop this by.

    what are your thoughts on Grant Hill being a Spur?

    I think its BS unless Hill is bought out by the Magic. And even then I think it's BS.

    Remember Pop and Co. wants to get flexiable players not one dimensional. Besides, the Spurs needs to get younger.

    no link, the commentators were just conversing and they mentioned that "Grant Hill could be in a Spurs uniform by the trade deadline". that was all that was said about it. that is why i posted it here to see if anyone else had heard anything about it. they didnt mention how this would take place or if it was going to.

    Why would there be no link to another site you "heard" it on?

    i read it on another message board, but it was shown on ESPN news on channel 142 dish network. the guys didnt state any hard evidence. i think maybe they were just throwing out ideas. they also didnt talk about it all that much. all they said was "grant hill could be in a spurs uniform by the trade deadline" and that was it.

    that is why i came here because you guys have insider knowledge.

    I don't even know what that site is.

    Regardless, there is zero chance we would trade for him and only a slighty better chance we would sign him were he bought out.

    His wife was (is) a singer who said San Antonio didn't have enough recording studios to suit her. Therefore, they both tried to get Tim Duncan to follow them to that musical mecca, Orlando.

    If Grant comes, maybe she can at least try out for American Idol.

    If this happens San Antonio will become a team that goes after names, instead of actual ballers

    Oh BTW, I saw the show that the thread starter is talking about. It was NBA coast to coast. And they said nothing about any actual deal between the spurs and magic. It was a topic of discussion of Grant Hill being shopped around witch really isn't news. It was more of a should he stay or should he go discussion. And during it I think Marc Stein was the one who suggested that he would be a good fit for the spurs.

    Outgoing
    Tony Parker
    Manu Ginobili

    Incoming
    Grant Hill

    Successful Scenario
    Due to San Antonio and Orlando being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. San Antonio and Orlando had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
    The value of the franchise would rise a good $50-75M.

    if we can get him for our crap he could be valuable for us and i like the guy a lot. It's a kind of one or two year try-out a short-term deal that could give us a little boost .

    From a talent, skills and chemistry fit, Grant Hill would be an ideal fit for the Spurs. Especially over Finley or Barry.

    From a salary standpoint, he makes more $$$ than either Manu or Tony. In fact, I believe he makes somewhere in the Duncan neighborhood.

    He's in the final year of his current deal. From that standpoint, I would find it utterly shocking if the Magic were to shop him now. Besides, the Spurs couldn't afford him anyway. They simply don't have enough assets to make a plausible trade partner.

    Then there is the age factor. The Spurs desparately need to get younger - not older.
