just re-signed w/ the suns, per yahoo/rotoworld:

Grant Hill has decided to re-sign with the Phoenix Suns, according to a report from Yahoo Sports.
The report also states that Hill made the decision in part because he felt comfortable that the Suns would be able to sign Steve Nash, and that he is comfortable with the direction of the team.

Can't say I am surprised by this, I would like to give you all a big "I told you so"  8)

Looks like he'll finish his career as a loser, which is a shame because he seems like a classy guy.

I guess he's comfortable not having a championship either.  Wow...kind of glad he didn't sign, not hungry enough for that Glory.

I think its more accurate to say that its too bad he is comfortable being on a team without a chance to win a ring. He is a grade A, first class individual, and he happens to put his family first. They are comfortable where they are, and I don't think its a poor reflection on him in any way that he wants his family to be happy above all else. In this day and age of spoiled, selfish athletes, I consider it a refreshing change of pace to see someone who cares about his family above all else. It's too bad that it isn't a little warmer here in Boston though, I would have loved to see him in green.

So much for his wife's singing career and his charity work in NY. :-\  Told you he didn't want to come to Boston. 

Actually, seeing that he's not that interested in winning, I'm glad we didn't get him.

Solidify the big men position and the PG position. I don't think wing players are his current priority, other than Hill being a really good player to go after.

In reality, I think he'll just go after the next best player out there regardless of position.

Nevertheless, he’s believed to be comfortable with the direction of the Suns to re-sign there.

That's good that he is comfortable with their direction since their direction seems to be tearing their team apart.  At least the weather is nice.

This reminds me of that San Diego Padre (can't remember his name) who refused to approve a trade to the Sox last year. Another guy, like Grant Hill, who will finish his career as a loser.

Phoenix should make the playoffs this year and once there I wouldn't count a team that can drop 150 points on any given night.

That would be Mr. Brian Giles.

This is a blessing in disguise!  Now we can get younger.  Don't kow what the fascination was with Hill all this time by Celts fans. Doesnt it make you think why none of the other powers were interested in Hill?

THANK YOU PHOENIX!

After playnig in games that didn't matter for so long, GH just decided to mail in another season and catch some sun in Phoenix.  He would have cracked under the playoff pressure in Boston and played like a 6'8" Tony Allen.

I can't get over how some of you are bashing Hill for not coming to Boston. Get over it guys.I wanted him here too but I'm not going to hate the guy for doing what he thinks is right for him and his family.
