Reggie?
Many people groused about getting Ray Allen, citing that shooting guards often fall apart at age 32. I disagreed with that but I have to say that getting a 42 year old shooting guard seems like a stretch. The Reggie Miller move is interesting but how much does he have left in the tank? In his final season, he shot only 32% from three and I'm not sure if two years away from the game really helped matters much.
Also, why not call Reggie before signing Eddie House? Ainge has recently said that he's looking at adding another PG so if House isn't going to handle minutes at the point, and Reggie Miller is getting minutes as the shooter off of the pine, why spend money on House? Nevermind that neither House nor Reggie can really defend all that much so if Tony Allen can't come back 100%, the Celtics will be relying on undrafted rookies Brandon Wallace and Jackie Manuel to be the defensive stoppers. Furthermore, and this is a minor point, adding Reggie and another PG would likely relegate Gabe Pruitt to the D-league which isn't ideal IMO.
Reggie Miller returning and joining the Celtics is an interesting idea but it really isn't a move that's going to help us out all that much IMO. Honestly, at this point in his career, i'm not sure if Reggie can offer as much as guys like Devin Brown or Ime Udoka. Then again, since all we're probably offering is a one year deal for the veteran minimum, maybe the Reggie Miller's of the world are the only people we have a shot at getting.
