    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>After living through five ankle surgeries and this season's sports hernia with Grant Hill, Orlando is deciding whether to offer Hill a buyout or hang on to him until next season, which is the last season on Hill's original seven-year deal with the Magic.Buying Hill out would give the 33-year-old a chance to sign with a contender if he holds off on retirement. But Hill could also become a trade asset this offseason through Trade Deadline 2007 with an expiring contract and a salary of just under $17 million.A buyout or simply letting Hill's contract run out would give the Magic significant salary-cap space in the summer of 2007, but a trade involving Hill holds appeal because there are no guarantees that cap space can lure a marquee addition (or the right player) to join the group Orlando is trying to assemble around Dwight Howard.Variable No. 3 is Hill's leadership qualities; Howard is still young enough, at 20, to benefit from Hill's presence.No matter what Orlando chooses, it's safe to say that Hill will not play enough for the remainder of this season to change his tragic Magic history. He has never played as many as 20 games in a row since moving to Orlando in 2000, after appearing in 161 consecutive games in one stretch with the Pistons.</div>sourceShould the Magic buyout Grant Hill and where would he end up, if he doesn't retire?

    He can end up with McGrady again with the Rockets.J/k...It would be sweet though.

    If he would have played during these last few years he would be right around 18,000 pts...I never really like him.

What is there to hate on Grant Hill? The guy has a lot of heart, and nothing but praise from his fellow players and friends.Truly must be sad for the guy with that kind of talent unable to play with the injuries he's had for years.
