Training camp starts September 29 and the Celtics still need a back up PG. I don't buy this PG by committee of players who can fill in at PG in a pinch and can handle the ball but aren't PG's. We did win a championship with Eddie House as the primary back up, but Rondo stayed healthy that season. Quisy would be most effective behind Pierce and we know that Eddie House is most effective at the 2 when he doesn't have to worry about setting up his teammates.

There has been talk that many teams are holding off on point guard signings until Iverson signs. There are rumors that Danny is still interested in Iverson, who has said that he would...
