30Assists Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Ah, well - have fun on the bench, Grant. Loved you in Detroit. Peace. Quote
ball junkie Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 No other site is posting this. I checked all the local media and ESPN. Looks like HoopsWorld got the jump on everyone to break the story. Quote
djmase20 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Orlando Sentinel is actually on this one. Quote

nbr Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Provided it goes through. On a serious note I wish him well. I hope he gives something to Phoenix. I player i've admired both on and off the court. Quote
MagicFanBen Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Grant Hill is such a terrbile person. He is one of those people that will put the face on for the media and the team and then be a completely different person behinds the scenes. Grant apparrently does not realize HE is the reason why our franchise has taken so many PR hits in the last 7 years. HE was the reason we ultimately had to trade TMAC. He was the reason we did not trade him at the trade deadline. This guy is a piece of work. He duped the entire organization in to thinking he would stay if they did not trade him. Just like I figured, he is gone and the Magic are probably feeling like they got shafted. Way to go Mr. Squeaky clean Hill. If you ever owed anyone anything it was the Magic. Thanks a lot for turning your back on the team that stood by you during your hard times. Us fans will never forget the torture you put us through. Having you as a player and now as a ex-player has been trully the nightmare most fans hope they never have to live through. Deciding between what is worse, Shaq leaving for nothing, or you torturing us for 7 years is a hard decision to make. I have to say you torturing us is worse. At least when Shaq left we knew we had to move on. With you it was 7 years hoping you would return and give us something. Quote
BRich Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 what's this whole business with him being the reason we didn't trade him? What did he say? good riddance though. Let's move right along. Quote
Puya Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 It's on the Orlando Sentinel. Why are you mad of him. Are you not happy he is gone? I think this is great. He is Happy and some in the Orlando Magic are Happy so others can develope. I did like the way he played even if he is not at 100% but let's hope for the best. Quote
The Solution Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Grant Hill is a small forward with no 3 point threat and has diminishing skills at handling the ball. We will not have a shortage of players at the small forward position and he needs to move on. Quote
