Gary Tanguay, a writer for Comcast Sports Network has said he believes Grant Hill will be a Celtic by the end of the week.  In the process, they will let Glen Davis go should he be offered a contract.  Tanguay also reports he believes the Spurs are on the verge of offering Glen Davis the mid-level exception, which Celtics general manager Danny Ainge is not expected to match.

I'll give what could be the good and bad side of this:

Bad:  The Celtics are letting a promising young player go to a team that already has all-star players Richard Jefferson, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan.  They're letting a solid defender and low-post scorer go to this group of dedicated players who have been to the finals and are likely to come out of the west.  The Celtics are going after a player who has health issues and is 37.  Letting Davis go will deplete our frontcourt even with Wallace.  Hill over Davis?  We're going to be really old!!!

Good:  Hill will probably be signed to a one-year deal.  Celtics management has stated Wallace's signing is not going to keep the team from pursuing young players and adding to the team.  We will have very few long-term deals, Ray Allen's contract coming off the books in 2010 to pursue a very strong class of free agents.  We will be old, true, but our team is excellent defensively with the additions of Wallace and Hill, who will both be hungry for a championship and are proven postseason performers.

After looking at it all, letting Davis go will be hard, but for the long term this is a good deal and puts in solid position to win a title next year.
