Grant Hill has informed the world that he will be playing with the Suns next season. If he can stay healthy, his numbers will be there. I commend the guy for only taking 1.83 million next year with a player option to return in 2008-09. Lets face it, the guy doesn't need money, he needs rings.
Hill is coming off one of his healthier seasons in the last few years only missing 17 regular-season games this season with a knee sprain and other minor injuries. I am rooting for Grant, but history has a tendency to repeat itself. And as much as I would like to see him start and put up 25 a night, he will more likely than not end up being an overpaid cheerleader.
At least they are only giving him 1.8 mil to sit on the sideline instead of the seven-year, $92 million contract Orlando gave him.
But if I were Grant and I was chasing a ring in the twilight of my career, I wouldn't have gone to a team who habitually chokes every year in the playoffs.

I agree. Jalen Rose found out how cool Phoenix was sitting on the bench. Now Grant still has more game left, but he'll be lucky to average 10 points a game. There is only one ball to go around.

I think if he were going to go anywhere and make a difference, it's Phoenix. This was a good pick-up for the Suns and Steve Nash should bring out the old all-star Hill. Well, hopefully for his sake.
