Re: John Ireland: Grant Hill to the Lakers?
I have always expected this to happen because I was factoring in it being a good situation for his wife as well who has many friends in the Los Angeles area (Quincy Jones, Tracy Edmonds, Brenda Richie). It would not shock me to see Grant sign with the Lakers and be a 6th/7th man. He would be a tremendous upgrade to the bench.

Re: John Ireland: Grant Hill to the Lakers?
Possible, but I could imagine him signing for the minimum just to win a title and If thats the purpose, then he would be better off signing with the Spurs next year.

Re: John Ireland: Grant Hill to the Lakers?
This has been a popular speculation for awhile now. I'd be all for this move but everything I've heard is Grant is leaning towards retirement.

Re: John Ireland: Grant Hill to the Lakers?
Man if we can get Grant Hill and keep Lamar we would definitely make some serious noise. Grant fits the description of Phil Jackson's big point guards. Grant Hill can be our better looking Ron Harper. However, he is injury-proned and plus how are we gonna guard those small quick guards. Regardless of what happens he will definitely make our team better than it was the past season.

I don't believe the Lakers would use him as a PG, if we signed him. He would be a bench player coming in for whoever our SG/SF is next year.

Re: John Ireland: Grant Hill to the Lakers?
Grant Hill has already declared he is going to Phoenix or Detroit unless he retires.

Re: John Ireland: Grant Hill to the Lakers?
A couple of weeks ago, actually he said Phoenix or Detroit if he doesn't resign with Orlando or retire for broadcasting.
There is also talk about Hill on Phoenix radio for at least 3 weeks now, that they want Hill and Hill wants to come..
He said that after Orlando was eliminated.
Also don't compare Hill to Jalen. Jalen was not getting PT on New York and got cut..

Re: John Ireland: Grant Hill to the Lakers?
We had James Jones starting at SF for much of the season...
Grant Hill actually played a big role on a playoff team still, Jalen Rose couldn't get off the bench and got cut by New York.. Rose had almost nothing left in the tank.

Re: John Ireland: Grant Hill to the Lakers?
not really. rose's legs are holding up better than grant's, and i think he's about the same age or younger.
in phoenix you need one of the following: good shooter, good defender, or freakishly athletic abilities. grant used to be at least 2 of those 3, but he's none of those now.
