« Four Teams In Running For Darko Milicic | Main | Southwest Notes: Lin, Mavericks, Grizzlies »
WEDNESDAY, 2:05pm: The Clippers have officially signed Hill, the team announced in a press release. Los Angeles will use its bi-annual exception on Hill, putting his two-year contract in the neighborhood of $4MM.
TUESDAY, 12:21pm: The Clippers will add Hill using either the bi-annual exception or a sign-and-trade, meaning he'll make more than the minimum salary, tweets SI.com's Sam Amick. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports adds that it'll be a two-year contract.
11:40am: The Clippers have reached an agreement to sign Grant Hill, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports (via Twitter). John Gambadoro of 620 KTAR Phoenix first tweeted that Hill was headed to the Clippers. Wojnarowski adds (via Twitter) that the two sides are still finalizing the details of the contract, but says Hill has committed to sign with Los Angeles.
With their mid-level exception committed to Jamal Crawford, the Clippers could sign Hill using their bi-annual exception or the veteran's minimum. If the Suns were willing to work out a sign-and-trade, that would be another option, though L.A. would likely want to include Ryan Gomes and his $4MM in such a deal.
Hill will turn 40 before the 2012/13 regular season gets underway, and set career-lows in a number of statistical categories in 2011/12. However, he still provided modest production, averaging 10.2 PPG and 12.3 PER in 49 games for the Suns. In Los Angeles, he'll presumably be relied upon for fewer than the 28.1 minutes per game he played in Phoenix last year.
