Eddie House Signed Written by Jeff Wednesday, 01 August 2007 Mark Murphy reports: The Celtics signed free agent guard Eddie House this afternoon to a one-year deal, apparently solving their need for a veteran backup to point guard Rajon Rondo. He also reports: The Celtics also signed Jackie Manuel, a 6-5 wing player who played for Los Angeles in the NBDL last season, and is considered a solid defensive player. He was named the ACC’s defensive player of the year two seasons ago while at North Carolina. Next up in the free agent market is a big man. PJ Brown, the 37-year-old power forward who is reportedly seeking the full mid-level exception ($5.6 million) for his services, has probably priced himself out of the Celtics’ range. The team is currently checking into the market for Dikembe Mutombo, who could fill in nicely as a backup behind Kendrick Perkins. Mutombo is currently in Africa, where he is on his annual mission at the head of the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders program. So, Eddie House, Jackie Manuel, and Dikembe Mutumbo. Not exactly what a lot of fans were hoping for,but they do fill roles of need. House is a backup PG that can shoot. Manuel is a defensive wing. Mutumbo is a defensive 7 footer. Update: There is a rumor going around that Ryan Gomes might get cut by the TWolves and sign back with the Celtics. Cross your fingers. #簽下Eddie House與Jackie Manuel 後場的進攻與防守補強了 #下個目標是PJ.Browm與Mutumbo #希望Gomes的謠言成真阿!! --
