Danny Ainge wanted veteran swingman Grant Hill to sign with the Celtics to compliment his newly formed team. Hill instead chose to resign with his current team, the Phoenix Suns. I think Celtics GM Danny ainge and New York Knicks president Donnie Wahlberg, the other top contender for Hill, didn't expect this.
Ainge has told the Boston Herlad he is still not done. We still have a glaring need of a backup swingman for Pierce and/or Allen and now that defensive minded Dahntay Jones is off the market, we could use another point guard.
The next big question surrounding the Celts is the status on Glen Davis. After an excellent postseason, he is a restricted free agent. The biggest suitors are the Pistons, who are looking for height after losing Antonio McDyess, and New Orleans, who can only acquire him through a sign-and trade.
Still, the Celtics appear to be a few players from being the pre-eminent favorite to win again. Let's see what Ainge does.
