    Go ahead Grant, use those professional personality skills and your natural charisma to get paid more.

    I really miss seeing this guy play basketball though. I feel so bad for him and Zo.

    i think it's a good move for him, thanks for posting the article, i was getting ready to. hopefully he can get back to playing, but i think that he would make a great tv analysis. i thought before he got injured that he would also make a great coach, but now with him not even being able to play i don't know about that.

    Grant Hill will make a great analyst for ESPN. He's articulate and understands the game. Coming from Coach K he will be very detail oriented and will be able to breakdown the little things to illustrate how a play developed.

    If this happens, I am curious to see how his contract plays out. As an employee of ESPN, are they responsible for paying a portion of his contract? Do the Magic get a chance to appeal to the NBA to allow them to have extra cap room since Hill will never play again?

    interesting shape, if he does a lot of games i think they might pay a little to the magic, but i think he's only thinking about doing a couple.

    Yeah thats what the article said. But him getting a job isnt right in my book. His # 1 priority should be rehab for the magic.

    he'll rehab during the day and analyze during the night. i kind of hope he doesn't come back well, just in the fact that the magic will have a max contract coming off the books, in which we can sign a max fa. just to set it right, i hope that grant hill comes back, he's a great and classy guy. i hope he can be healhty and effective in the nba, but i hope that we can get another max fa.
