Yeah I agree with you there. But if he does assume that role, I think one could argue that this year's second unit is more talented than the one that helped win the title back in '08, so with that in mind, House should have enough help around him to make it work.

From what I see out there I am OK with House to ha...

From what I see out there I am OK with House to handle that role at the beginning.

My only worries are when he gets pressure in the back court. He seems to panic at times. But left alone he seems to do an OK job distributing the ball.

Just hope the opposing team does not press too much

How do you feel about Eddie House potentially backing up Rondo? At least to start the season. I wrote a piece a week or two back, and I think the stat was like the Celtics were 49-12 two seasons ago when they won the title, with House as the backup PG before Cassell came in.

Sure, there's a little less certainty if you want to pick someone up late in the season, because you won't know who's available, but according to the stats, Eddie can get the job done.

I agree with you on TA. They have Walker and Gidde...

I agree with you on TA. They have Walker and Giddens now who can take his role and not play any less consistent lol

But unless a roster spot is opened my guess is what we see now is how we go into the season. Limp along with House, Daniels, and maybe (ugh) TA at times in backup point.

But you know they will probably sign a PG eventually, but probably not at the beginning unless a spot is opened.

Yeah it's so rare to see teams go into the season with the roster completely packed. I wouldn't mind seeing Hudson sent down to the D-League, but I just can't see him as the answer right now.

I hope TA gets traded somehow. I'm not sure who would want him, but if we could somehow make that work, it'd be fantastic. I think he's almost making too much money to be traded though, simply because a lot of quality guys are making around 2.5 mill a year, and TA has dropped to below quality status in my book. I stuck with him for a long time, but you've got to cut the chord eventually.

Since they are at 14 on the roster right now, it m...

Since they are at 14 on the roster right now, it might be highly likely that NOBODY will be signed at this point. Maybe midseason a trade for a PG (involving TA or Scal) might be possible or they may just sign a FA guard at that time giving them 15 on the roster

They could sign Hudson now and put him in the D-league, then hoping that they will be able to make a trade at mid, but not sure. My guess is that they will stick with 14 right now
