Grant Hill is still undecided as to which team he'll sign his next contract with, but it certainly won't be for a lack of offers. The Suns are interested in having Hill return at the right price, the Celtics are ready to give him the chance to contend for a title, and now the Knicks have reportedly offered a one-year deal to come to New York and reunite with one of his former coaches, Mike D'Antoni.All three teams have something of interest to offer Hill, who will turn 37 before the beginning of next season, but who also played in all 82 games for the first time in his career last year.
If Hill feels good physically, the money for a single season in New York might be more than it would be individually in Boston or Phoenix. The Knicks are said to be offering a portion of the mid-level exception, whereas the Celtics would offer only the biennial exception ($1.9M), but would likely do it for two years.
Phoenix used that same biennial exception last time around, and league rules prevent them from using it on him again. But the team is said to be looking to make an offer in the same financial neighborhood, using a portion of its mid-level to do so.
Hill would be guaranteed starters' minutes on the Suns, which is something that likely will be preferable to backing up Paul Pierce in Boston. It's unclear if the Knicks and D'Antoni would make the same promise.
It's anyone's guess which way Hill is leaning at this point, but I'd have to say that unless he suddenly wants to play backup minutes to try to chase a ring in Boston, a multi-year deal to return to the Suns would seem to be the likely decision.
