House And Allen Signed

eddie houseby the goat… Well there is good news and bad news today from the Celtics. The good news is that they signed Eddie House to a deal where he will make $2.7 million next year and $2.9 million in 2010 if he decides to exercise his option. Good news indeed, House is the M.L. Carr of this incarnation of the Celtics, just replace the towel wave with the double collar pop. His dead eye from long range helps force defenses to return to staying honest on the perimeter when he comes off the bench to replace a struggling Rondo. Excellent signing, couldn’t be happier.

The bad news? Tony Allen signed a two year $5million deal to remain a Celtic as well. By my calculations that means that Tony will make approximately one dollar every time he turns the ball over. Nothing is more frustrating than watching someone dribble around three guys, create an open lane to the basket and dribble the ball off his foot. I am starting to wonder if Tony is dating someone in the organizations daughter or something.

Either way the Celtics are still odds on favorites to go back to back and not even Tony Allen can affect the the elation in Boston right now.
