Disagree: you are avoiding taking a gain (assuming the stock grants are below the market value of the stock) in order to avoid taxes (but you will still GAIN money, even after taxes), in exchange for risking that the stock will decline in value.

It all depends on your risk tolerance of course, but avoiding selling at a gain RIGHT NOW in order to avoid taxes is not a good reason.
