Hill needs to retire. He was breaking down last year and looked tired.

Heard on KTAR today the Suns are going to make a big push to keep him.

Doesn't matter if he plays 1 minute all year. He's worth it for the veteran leadership

We need to keep him so we have someone to guard Kobe when we face the Lakers in the playoffs! :D

Hill would be great to have around, let's offer him a FO job, or an assistant coach job if he wants to retire.

Stop with geriatrics. Suns moved to the right direction, choosing 4 picks for last year of Nash producting. Let Hill go with him. Go young.

He would be a great addition, we need a true veteran leader with these new players coming, very important for Beasley.

It's pointless. He has nothing to do here. He had a good run.

Why? I read this assumption all over the place, yet fail to understand the logic...

Not saying Hill isn't a great example, just questioning how important that is to keep Beasley focused.

In my head that is much more related to how much responsability we put on him.

Spiderman once said, with great responsibility comes great power ...or something alone that line :lol:

Hill is still very good defender and obviously offers great deal of leadership. I don`t get some guys on here who don`t want him in PHX. I`d be very pleased if our FO sign him for another year.

If he is back, great
If he is a Laker, great
If he retires, great

Good man, good guy, would be great in the locker room but only at the vet minimum as the Suns need a guy who can score the damn ball from the two guard and then allow Dudley to play the 2/3. Beasley needs minutes at the 3. But Hill would be great in the locker room thats for sure.

As it was with Nash, it will be Hill's decision where he plays. Babby will keep an open door for his former client out of respect. It is the way they operate now, as they seem to be debunking the 'No one will play for Sarver and crew' theorists.

As a Hill fan, I hope he doesn't sign here and goes to the Lakers to get a ring. It'll make it easier to root for the Lakers next season. It'll seem less like one person joining the dark side and more like a conglomeration of good and bad people working together for a common goal.

I think we need Grants D in the starting lineup to complement Dragic, Gordon and Beas scoring the ball. We don't need anymore on ball players with those 3, we just need a solid perimeter defender and a solid defensive big.

Dragic
Gordon
Hill
Beasley
Gortat

Doesn't seem too bad to me actually. Leaves us a bench of Marshall/Dudley/Childress/Morris/Lopez.

Frye, Warrick and Telfair DNPs.
