The NY Post is reporting that the Knicks have made a 1 year offer to free agent forward Grant Hill. The Knicks oviously would like to use as little of their Mid Level exception for Hill. While Hill is positioning to get as much of the $5.8 millino as possible-perhaps even using the Celtics for jockeying position.

“We think we have a chance, but you never know,” a team source said last night. In a visit that blew Jason Kidd’s away, Hill arrived yesterday at the Garden at 11:30 a.m., got the arena tour and the jersey before being whisked to the Knicks’ practice facility in Westchester.

Last night, Hill, his agent Lon Babby, Walsh and D’Antoni headed out for dinner. The Knicks could blow the Celtics out of the water since Boston is using their $5.8 million mid-level exception on Rasheed Wallace and can offer Hill only the $1.9M lower exception
