http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_y...F?slug=aw-hillsuns071009&prov=yhoo&type=lgns& Grant Hill(notes) has decided to re-sign with Phoenix, and a large part of the decision is based on the belief that Steve Nash(notes) is close to reaching an agreement on a contract extension, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. Hill has begun telling associates he’s staying with the Suns. Phoenix owner Robert Sarver, general manager Steve Kerr and coach Alvin Gentry met with Hill on Wednesday night and Thursday morning in Florida. The Suns will also sign free agent Channing Frye(notes) to a two-year deal for $3.8 million, sources said. The second season is at Frye’s option. The New York Knicks reportedly offered Hill the choice of a one-year, $5 million deal or a three-year, $10 million contract. Hill also had an offer from the Boston Celtics.Nevertheless, he’s believed to be comfortable with the direction of the Suns to re-sign there. The terms of the Nash extension are unclear, although one source believes it is a three-year deal worth about $33 million.
If that's true, I cannot believe he wouldn't jump at the chance of making a run with the Celtics. Surely he knows the Suns are at best a 7 or 8 seed and very well could miss the playoffs entirely whereas the Celtics have as good a shot as anyone.
Well he Phoenix is a really good situation for him, as he wont have to play d and Nash can set him up for midrange js all day long. If he inflates his numbers enough he may set himself up for a better deal than the one he got this season. In Boston I don't think he'd get much of a run at all. I mean he'd get minutes, but at the most he'd probly just be another warm body.
