grant hill a sun?

Free agent forward Grant Hill has agreed a deal to sign with the Phoenix Suns, according to a report in the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday.

The deal cannot be confirmed until the end of the NBA's moratorium on free agents on July 11.

Hill, 34, has spent seven seasons with the Orlando Magic but battled injuries and never fulfilled his promise.

The Sentinel reports he will receive the $1.2 million veteran's exception from Phoenix, and hopes to be rewarded with an NBA title.

Hill is coming off a seven-year, $93 million contract which expired at the end of last season.

The 6-8 Duke product, the seven-time All-Star averaged 14.4 points per game last season, playing in 65 games.

He played only 202 regular season games for the Magic as he underwent five surgeries on his left ankle, as well as a hernia operation, after arriving from Detroit in a sign-and-trade deal in 2000.

hopefully he'll be good comin' off the bench. that's phoenix's weakest point.

I neva did like the Orlando Magic. 7 seasons? I don't think that was good for Hill.

i think this is a good move for us , not just for points. but the dude can handle the ball and could bring great leadership to some of the new guys.

plus he isnt getting bundles of cash. so that takes out the expectation factor , which he had in orlando { without a supporting cast around him }. think this might play out well for us.

^^^Good point.

I think it's a great deal for both sides. The Suns get potentially a more-than-solid player (if healthy) and they aren't locked in for a long deal.

Mr. Fila gets the chance to win a ring.
