Re: *Lets trade for Grant Hill*
I figure they'd want to get something for Grant Hill (like Toronto w/Marion). Plus get rid of a big contract.

My wife would tell me to do what makes me happiest...that's what she did with the current job...
Guess I'm just lucky!

It's still 17 to 11!!!!

That could work. Phoenix seems to want to gut long-term payroll. Boston's just going to have to outbid NYK to get Grant's wife's grip off his ballz. Quite a negotiator she is.

To be fair, Hill has never uttered a thing about his wife. This is all coming from second and third hand sources.
If you had papparazzi following your every move and you talked to your wife, there'd probably be similar stories about you. it's just nobody else gives a rats ass which job you take

If he is going to New York its just for the money. Because the best that team is now is a first round knockout.

And what sort of chemical additive do you suggest slipping into Kerr's drink before this deal is proposed?
This is actually one of cfan's best ideas.

Could be a smooth move by the agent to milk more money out of Boston.

With the salary cap possibly going way down next year, he may be changining strategy though... I'd just take Baby out of the deal and work a sign-n-trade with New Orleans for Antonio Daniels to get some insurance. The bench would be Sheed, Hill, Daniels & Barbosa.
Thanks... I think.
Eddie House wouldn't mind being traded to Phoenix, he had some of his best years there. He played college and pro ball in Arizona.

Yeah, more good points and House would fit in and there's not a huge drop off in talent for Phoenix. They're going to lose Hill anyways, but due to Hill they could cut about $15 million off the books...
