Celtics Re-Sign Eddie House and Tony Allen

The Boston Herald is reporting that the Celtics have come to contract agreements with free agents Eddie House and Tony Allen. Danny Ainge said that both deals are for two years, financial terms have not been formally announced but both deals are expected to be worth around $2-million annually. I love that they are bringing back House, a terrific shooter who provides instant offense off the bench. I like that they are bringing back Allen because although he has not proven himself to be the smartest player on the floor in his four years in Boston, he does provide a veteran defender off the bench now that James Posey is in New Orleans. As of today, this is what the C's 2008-09 roster looks like: C: Kendrick Perkins/Patrick O'Bryant PF: Kevin Garnett/Leon Powe/Glen Davis/Brian Scalabrine SF: Paul Pierce/Tony Allen/Bill Walker SG: Ray Allen/J.R. Giddens PG: Rajon Rondo/Eddie House/Gabe Pruitt I don't think Ainge is done quite yet. Scalabrine has no fit in Boston and maybe the team will look into a buy-out of the remaining two years on his deal. The bench still lacks experience and maybe Ainge will look at signing a veteran like Mike Finley before training camp opens in October.
