    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Magic General Manager Otis Smith wants to put to rest any speculation about trading Grant Hill because Hill has an expiring contract.

    "No," Smith said. "I don't see that happening at any point."

    Hill's name was bandied about nationally in talks about Allen Iverson. Their salaries almost match (Hill makes about $17 million this season, Iverson $18), but Smith reiterated that the Magic have no interest in acquiring the Sixers All-Star.

    Smith said he has yet to receive calls from teams interested in acquiring Hill, 34.</div>

    If there is a marquee guy that is on the block around halfway point like a Paul Pierce or Rashard Lewis, I wouldn't be opposed to trading Hill, assuming we could resign Pierce or Lewis.

    We could get Rashard in the offseason and Grant might sign for the minimum so I don't really see any point in trading him

    I think Hill will be resigned for the minimum. That would be good. He's a solid player when healthy and is doing good this season.
