Grant Hill Leaning Towards Signing With Lakers

I'm still a Matt Barnes fan. How much of an upgrade will Hill be over Barnes? I know Barnes had an average season second half, but I still like his mobility and grittiness. I know Hill will come cheaper but I dont see how he can be an improvement over Barnes? I guess I havent seen Hill in action recently so I cant really say but still.

Hill is a definitely an upgrade, even at this advanced stage of his career. He acts as a second ball handler for Nash in PHX, can slash, can shoot the corner 3, can create for his self and others.

Good pickup.

talent wise and contribution I think its a wash even though Hill is so much older than Barnes but Hill probably brings in a more mature/leadership type personality to the team than Barnes.

I wonder if he comes off the bench or be in the starting line up.

My favorite player of all time wants to sign with my least-favorite team. :evil:

Barnes is a FA and we obviously let him walk. We keep World Peace and I don't have to change my SN.

Might want to bookmark the changed name thread just in case.

Man, I miss the Grant Hill from Detroit.. he was amazing. Had everything except a 3 point shot (which he never developed to this day for some reason).

Lakers need some youth man, Courtney Lee/ Delonte West then Jamison should be the priority imo.

You underestimate Delonte West's desperateness lol.

I'm fine with this signing as long as everyone else after is young/fast. We're getting so f'ing old...

Matt Barnes would be perfect off the Clippers bench and could reunite with LO

Antawn Jamison has expressed interest in joining the Lakers for the veterans minimum if he isn't traded to Brooklyn in a sign & trade.

was referring to Lee/West, not sure how you associate that YOUNG part with Jamison
