The Grant Hill thread

[HYPE.]

Never actually heard of her before, but she is hot. Song seems a bit generic, but I am willing to buy her album right now if it will make a difference.

You're telling me you've never heard this song???

latest from gary T:

We expect an answer tomorrow on Grant Hill. His agent told Mark Spears that all three teams-Ny Bos and Phx are in the mix.

Good News... Seems like we got an ok shot at landing him.

I hope he decides tomorrow either way, i wanna get through this and start looking at the rest of the pond.

i say forget about grant hill, i hate kissing people ass
trade giddens, t.allen, pruitt n walker for posey. NO need to get raid of some contract n only Tony contract is guarantee for 2.5 n we pick up Posey for 6.

Perk, Kg , Sheed, BBD, Scal
Pierce, posey
Allen, House
Rondo,Lester n sign Lue

EW! enough with James Posey, we're not going to get him. We don't need his salary on our books while trying to rebuild after the big 3's current contracts are up plus we'll need all the money possible for signing Rondo and Perk.

We're not going to trade every young player we have for an old player with a bad contract.

WORST TRADE SCENARIO I'VE EVER HEARD OF IN MY LIFE... JUST FACE IT POSEY IS GONE AND HE IS NEVER COMING BACK!

[cornbreadsmart]

plus lester ain't making it. pruitt is a better player and thats not saying a lot.

It's hard to say.  A lot of the players on the Suns last year theoretically "could" defend.  But they obviously didn't.

The question of course is whether they'll actually defend when they're on a team that actually tries to play defense.

Fortunately Danny is not that insecure.

Much more interesting, but I've never heard it before.

She's still hot too.

I never listen to radio though. Ever. I usually get my music by word of mouth, reviews, or sampling stuff online.

Ok, that's it.  I'm on my way to Phoenix for a vist.  I kid...

Can someone tell me what makes him so desirable?

u seem to be negative about alot of things with the team....rather than complain about their moves, or potential moves.....please provide specifically what and who you think this team needs (and be realistic)

I've actually voiced my wants for this team numerous times.  Most of posts aren't complaints, i'm just trying to argue my side and support my opinions.  Do not call me negative because i am one of the biggest Celtics fans you will meet.
What i think the team needs is the same as anybody, a point guard, a swingman, and a big muscle who can rebound.  Trading off our expiring contracts, Scal, TA, Pruitt, Walker, Giddens (8 mil) seems common sense to me.
That question was actually serious, i've heard a lot of concerns about Hill's age and injuries and i kinda agree.  Yet people still think he's our best option and i don't really see anything that sticks out.
FYI this is a FORUM, I'm not gonna sit around and say 'wow, Sheed was a great move, who agrees with me?'  I'm gonna get in there and voice my opinions as strong as they might be.

u neglected to answer my request of naming players that fit in our system, for the appropriate price range, that are available.

I don't know many to be honest; that's why i started this thread, I'm looking for alternatives.  It seems like you're saying there's really no one else, and if there isn't and he's the best we can get then i'm sure i'll come to like the idea.
It seems like there aren't many guys who want to come here for the LLE or less, or who aren't already taken.  And from what i hear no one really knows if Hill really wants to come here either.
I'm a fan of Barnes, i don't think he's necessarily better than Hill, but certainly a little less risky.

[GKC]

I lot of the argument is using the expirings and making a trade. Which is fine, except there's no reason why we can't do that AND use the LLE.

I still think Grant Hill's the best SF/SG option. He can play point forward, which means we woudln't have to have Eddie play SG on defense like he did when he played with Marbury.
