Grant Hill's wife Tamia, a recording artist, appears to be in favor of her husband joining the Knicks.  Her career may benefit from being in New York City.

"The Knicks aren't ready to win yet, but they have things that no one else can offer him. And that's going to mean a lot," said a source close to the negotiations.

Hill is said to be leaning toward signing with the Knicks but no agreement has been reached.
