Get it done.

I have a gut feeling he isnt coming to Boston, I want him too though.

August worked for Posey..btw…I think Grant waited till Sheed ‘s presser was done as not to upstage…he’ll come today

Hill would be ok, I suppose, but I’d prefer a younger player who might still be around in three years.

When the big three plus Sheed ride into the sunset, what’s going to be left? Right now it’s Rondo, Perkins and a bunch of nothing, except possibly BBD. If you’ve been watching the Summer league, you know what I mean.

Better, younger, and healthier out there than Hill!

If not…Danny, Doc, Wyc, and Big 3 would have already visited Hill, and applied their “full-court press” by now.

We are only asking for him to come off the bench to spell Paul and Ray. The guy will pick up the system in the first practice. No brainer. We still will have Giddens and/or Walker (and TA) around for youthful athleticism. Getting GH makes us the heavy favorite to get to the finals. Not getting him, it becomes a toss up with ORL and CLE.

And Grant Hill is definitely not someone who defends well anymore. What the C’s really could use is an Ariza-like wing, one who is young, long and athletic with the desire to play defense. Dahntay Jones would have been a better fit than Hill, perhaps Antrhony Parker as well.

I’d look at Walker in that slot for the first month or so of the season even if it means putting up with growing pains.

I’m a fan of Hill but I don’t sleep very good thinking about his defense on guys like Lebron, Kobe,etc. etc.
I’d prefer Matt Barnes at all, even younger than Hill.

I was very impressed with what I saw at the press conference yesterday. It was the feeling I had when KG and Ray were introduced. There were some real good vibes there.

No thanks

Grant hill is a career NBA loser, and hes already showed his character in this offseason

I dont care if you would want more money too, thats ridicolous, he has more money then he could ever spend, and I dont care about his friendship with steve nash…if nash was a true friend he would tell hill to go win a ring in boston.

please, please, please dont sign this guy, hes never been out of the first round and doesnt care about winning, we dont need his corpse

Oh and I also find it funny how rasheed wallace gets tagged as a loser who doesnt care about winning by some people and people continue to let hill of the hook for never even getting out of the first round

Wallace has been in the postseason 13 consecutive seasons, Conference Finals i believe 7 or 8 times, and of course finals twice

Hill never out of first round, TMac gets crucified for this…noone even cares about hill

Oh and another interesting thing, our 2 targerted free agents are from North Carolina and Duke….

I am huge Grant Hill and just like everyone I hope he comes, but I am tired of this waiting game. Anthony Parker is gone and there are 2 other guys that are younger that can play a perfect backup 2/3 we should be looking at right now, which are Matt Barnes and Linas Kleiza.

If we can’t get Hill we need to immediately offer Udoka a contract, at the vet min.

Yes. A solid player that doesnt make mistakes.

Hill may be old and all but if it was only about physical attributes then Walker would have seen a lot minutes at the backup three last year. Experience plays into the team defense and Hill should have that aspect down cold. Also I wouldn’t mind if my backup wing could score some too and initiate some plays. If all I wanted was defense I’d take Ross. We need some offense on our second unit or Doc will be rushing Paul and Ray back into the action too quickly and their minutes will pile up.

Get Matt Barnes.

Udoka, Barnes, Bogans. Three names to keep an eye on after Hill dumps us because of his dominant wife.

Some will say that he’s overvalued by name, but by the same token he is undervalued b/c of the stigma that he’ll just get hurt. The last two seasons should show that he could be of good consisent value.

A couple of random, but pertinent, thoughts:
-We can’t afford a real lock-down defender type, especially someone who has decent offense.
-The Celtics have been very high on turnovers the past few years, and I’m all for acquiring more players who make smart decisions with the ball (rasheed, Hill, etc).
-Hill off the bench would provide a playmaker role similar to a PG, which would greatly help the Celtics.
-The free agency signing period may make it seem like Hill has been stringing us along, but in reality it’s only been severaly days. I’m sure the same several days have flown by for Hill considering it involves moving his family, etc.

I like Grant Hill and I think he’s the best available player we can get for our needs. I’m more than fine with him taking a week or two to decide, and I don’t think it’s been a large detriment to our other potential signings.

That is the biggest concern—>that waiting for Plan A to decide, Plans B through F are no longer available. Similar concept to Posey’s negotiations last year. Posey didn’t decide to go to NO until August and by then, anyone who could have stepped in for him that was decent (better than TA at least) had already signed elsewhere.

If we can’t get Grant Hill? Fine. Let’s just be told promptly so we can go after someone we can get.

better be on the phone right now talking to hill…get him here!

This is just too obvious. Money or deep playoof run, two situations which are not comparable in the least. If he wanted a ring in his career, he would’ve already comitted to Boston. Plus he ruins our team with that waiting period – maybe this is what he wants.
