Grant Hill was on NBATV, during the open practice of the USA team, and his future came up. Hill said he had "plenty of options", but then turned to Steve Smith and asked him where he thinks he should go.

Smith's response:

I want Grant Hill to win a ring. So if Howard goes to Brooklyn or LA those are the two teams for me. And the third team for me is the Boston Celtics (Hill nods). A team where you would fit in perfectly with Doc Rivers and those guys (Hill continues to nod). Being able to facilitate offense, yeah they have Rondo, but they can put you in a situation that you can facilitate from the 3 or 4, when Rondo is not in the game (Hill smiles).

I think Grant is over the Hill.  He'll be 40 when the season starts.  I guess I would take him to fill a roster spot if Bradley is gonna be out for a while.  This way, PP can use less energy while trying to facilitate the offense.

goosebumps. He is well past his prime. But he is still a heck of a player in limited minutes.

I'm enough of a fan of Grant Hill that I worry about him getting hit by the Celtics injury bug if he comes to Boston.  As long as he doesn't end up with the Lakers or Heat, I am fine with his choice.

I struggle to see Grant Hill coming here now that Jeff Green is on board. Not enough available minutes. I think New York and LA would be his two top choices. Oklahoma could make an interesting sleeper choice.
