Grant Hill appears to be slanting towards NY

[Truck Lewis]

He should go to NY.  More cash and better opportunties for the wife.  It's a  no brainer.  Hell I know I where I would go if one job was offering 3 times the money. 

well hes foolish if the reason is to promote Tamia...shes been in the R&B game since like 1998,,,and dont get me wrong she is talented and smoking, but if she didnt get the acclaim she wanted as a smoking hot 23 yr old with great pipes, why would she get it now at 34?

and even if that is that reason...grant has like what 1 or 2 more years...is she less marketable at 35 than 34?

Its how they keep score man.  Face it Grant is setting up for after hoop life and getting all his ducks in order.  NYC will work for his after hoops career.

Heck I dont know what the fascination is with him by everyone.  I just wish the Celts has some trade chips because I go all out and try to get Battier in a trade.  Unfortunatly Scal and TA wont cut it!  

Imagine the bench:
Lue
House
Sheed
Battier
BBD or some vet

Please, At 37 Grant Hill is still way better than Shane. Shane is nice, but Grant Hill is on another level. It would be nice to see Grant finish his career in Boston, and get 2 rings before he retires.

Well its always good to have a healthy disagreement.  All I know is Battier would have no problem locking down Hill.  Hill's numbers are inflated playing in that system in PHX.  Battier would be the ideal fit as swing men off the bench for this team.

Shane would the better fit than Grant Hill in this system. But Is Houston ready to depart with Shane? I doubt it. Shane is a good plan B if plan A foils.

They could be with Yao out indefinetly and Artest gone and they just signed Ariza who is pretty much a Battier clone.  Battier is on the books for two more years.  I just wish we had some "chips".  They need some bigs and unfortunately we dont have any young bigs except for Perk and you can't deal him.

She can go to Broadway now and likely leverage her celebrity for the next stage of her career.

It looks like Hill doesn't care about winning. He just lost some of my respect.

[celts34pats55]

Yea i mean he is not gonna Bash a team that wants him Ecspecially the Knicks but if he ends up there its Cleary about the Money and His Wife Cuz the Knicks arent Winning Anytime Soon.You would think at this point in his career winning would be the Num 1 priority..

A hanful of years ago when Derrick Mason was on the block the Pats actually offered him more money than the Ravens did. However, his wife was from the Baltimore area and supposedly made the decision for him. Hopefully Grant wears the pants in his household.

Agreed, Grant Hill is an extremely skilled offensive player. Is he as good a defender as Posey? Absolutely not, but he's ten times the offensive player James is.

i think he signs with the celtics.....http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/articles/2009/07/07/hill_is_ainge8217s_new_target/

I have no idea who Hill wants to sign for.
Im lowering my expectations.

[Prof. Clutch]

That's too bad.  I would love to have him here.  I also just want to make sure we get a great defender at that 2/3/4 backup and I don't think Hill is the solution.

Like his basketball savy, just worried about his ability to come in a defend the great offensive weapons on the other team.  As much as we can spare PP that task the better.
