RE: Hill not our answer

["John Lyell" <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

Got to go with Josh on this one. Neither Pierce nor Walker is the player
Hill is. This guy is a proven star, the one thing we do not have. I think in
time Paul Pierce will be an all-star, but think Hill is a better fit as far
as putting together a championship team, and definitely a better 3 than
Walker will ever be as far as all around game, that is why teams position
themselves for a chance why Walker & Anderson get little interest for any
real trade value . Guys like Hill & Duncan have character, the one thing
Walker has not shown as of yet.

I love Pierce and Walker, but at this point in their
careers, Grant Hill is better than the two of them put
together.  No disrespect:  he's a bona fide superstar,
the top player in the NBA along with Tim Duncan.  He
brings it every night, and he brings it in almost
every department.  He IS that team.  Neither of our
guys have proved they can have that kind of consistent
excellence.
