It might come as a shock then when Hill says he's given serious thought to retiring after next season. Then again, after all he has gone through, perhaps such thoughts are really not that surprising. "Retirement. . . . Yeah, that's a possibility," Hill told the Sentinel. "That's a definite possibility. That's very real. I'll have to really look and see where I'm at that point." Where he'll be is at the end of the seven-year $92-million contract he signed after leaving the Pistons in 2000. Where he'll be physically after next season, however, could determine whether the seven-time all-star will play on. "At some point with the injuries, you've got to be smart. Let's keep our fingers crossed that nothing happens between now and then. . . . Five ankle surgeries, the sixth on the stomach [a sports hernia this season]. . . . You don't want to be in a situation, 10-15 years from now, where you can't have an active lifestyle or enjoy your family," Hill said. "I don't think it's to that degree, but the stress of the NBA season. . . . The body is not made for that. I'm an example of that."</div> http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives..._at_retirement/
