Report: Grant Hill looking at OKC, Miami

Now that Steve Nash has exited stage left and gone to
Hollywood to continue and likely end his basketball
career, some of the Phoenix Suns’ focus turns toward
veteran free agent forward Grant Hill.
Hill, who will turn 40 in October, is rumored to have
interest in joining Nash in Los Angeles with the Lakers to
make a run at an elusive NBA title.
But David Aldridge of
TNT wrote Tuesday Hill is also
looking at a couple of other elite NBA teams to continue
his career.
Free agent forward Grant Hill is still
considering at least two other teams-the two teams in last
month’s Finals, Miami and Oklahoma City-as well as the
Lakers as he decides where he’s going to play next season,
according to a source with knowledge of the 39-year-old
forward’s thinking.
Hill just completed his fifth year with the Suns, and
averaged 10.2 points and 3.5 rebounds in an injury-plagued
2011-12 season that limited him to 49 games. Hill had
missed only 15 games in his previous four seasons in
Phoenix.
There were also rumors of the Suns having interest in
bringing the veteran back on a one-year contract, but
seeing as how they’ve started their rebuilding process by
trading Nash last week, that scenario seems highly
unlikely.
