House, PG
OK, so Eddie House isn't exactly a pure PG but he is a nice fit for the Celtics backing up Rajon Rondo. Able to hit an open three, House's suspect playmaking skills won't be put to the test since the offense will be running through KG or Ray Allen. And yes, we're still depending a LOT on a second year PG but overall I still like the signing.
The Jackie Manual signing, however, gives some pause. Hopefully this is just a throwaway signing, someone we'll take a look at in camp but probably won't make the team. However, if this is who the Celtics think they can add on as a 14th man (the 13th spot held by a future big man signing), then it could be a recipe for disaster. We can't wear Pierce and Allen down by playing them 40 minutes and night but right now, we're relying on Tony Allen to be their main backup, even though he is coming off of major knee surgery and struggled in a reserve role in the past. Besides Allen, we'd have to rely on House to get more minutes at the 2, Gabe Pruitt or playing KG at the 3 with Big Baby or Veal at the 4.
However, in the new era of good feelings, I'll give the management the benefit of the doubt and assume this signing is of minor concern.
