I figured he was an absolute lock for the Lakers.  I'm very surprised by this, but happy that another of the league's good guys isn't joining the Lake Show.

Good for him!

I'd rather the Clips than the Lakers.

Some of Grant Hill's FA decisions have seemed bizarre over the last couple years. Is he interested in winning or what?

After going w/Lakers, Nash got a beer handed to him from moving car. For going w/Clips, Hill will get a 4Loko thrown at him from an overpass

Yeah, no doubt. Anywhere besides the Lakers or Heat is fine with me.

I like Hill, and I respect him for staying with PHO as long as he did, but yeah, it seems his title chances would be better with the Lakes. Of course, I'd rather have seen him in Green ...

I would hate to see him in a Laker uni but man, if he wants to win the Lakers would be the better team to join.

I guess he thinks he can win AND be an integral part of it with the Clips. Just me.

Clippers are making some nice moves. They're quickly becoming a veteran team with talent. The Clippers look much better on paper than the Lakers.

How so?

CP3/Griffin/........../bench

Kobe/Nash/Bynum/Gasol/........../bench

I don't see the Clippers squad making up for the massive deficiet on the number two and three players of those two squads.

I think DeAndre Jordan is worth mentioning but I agree the Lakers are still far better.

To sign Hill, the Clips amnestied our old friend, Ryan Gomes:
