Rivers, now coach of the Boston Celtics, and Hill, an unrestricted free agent who played last season for the Phoenix Suns, will meet Sunday in Orlando to discuss the possibility of working together again. Both make their offseason homes here.
"I don't have to go very far to meet with him this time,'' Hill said Saturday night before watching his wife Tamia perform at a Summer Soul Series concert in Orlando.
Rivers believes that Hill could be a key veteran to help the Celtics get past Cleveland and Orlando and reach the NBA Finals again next season. Hill, whose teams never have won a playoff series, is intrigued by the possibility.

Never won a playoff series? Wow...that's one helluva stat. Guess what Grant, that will change if you come to Boston. Hill is worth the $1.3 or $1.9 million contract slots the Celtics have available.
Hill is also reportedly traveling to New York to meet with the Knicks on Monday. Maybe he wants to keep alive the streak of never winning a playoff series.
