Rumor Mill: Grant Hill to Raptors?

Grant Hill has reportedly been talking about several teams he is interested in going to play for next year if the Orlando Magic do not resign him. One of the major players is the Toronto Raptors, along with Phoenix, San Antonio (of course, everybody wants to play there now), and the Pistons, where Hill started his career.

This is intriguing, because there are several other teams that could use Hill, IF he stays healthy, which has been his biggest achilles heel (literally) his entire NBA lifespan. But for him to recognize Toronto as a team he wants to go to means a lot of things--one, the Raptors are finally getting some respect with some of the big boys in the league, the need for a swingman, and also the fact that Hill's spouse is originally from Canada, and we men ALWAYS do what our wives tell us to do, right? RIGHT? Hello??? Is this thing on?

The question remains if the Raptors are willing to fork out the money that many criticize Hill for not being worth--but the fact still is apparent that when he is healthy, Hill is still one of the better players in the league, and would be a fantastic component to complement Chris Bosh. GM Bryan Colangelo will obviously weigh all options right now, but if Hill is available at a decent price, I say get him.
