On Marbury:

"Ainge also said last night that the Celtics ``would not hesitate'' to bring back Marbury as a backup point guard to Rajon Rondo if a deal can be struck."

``We like Steph. We like what he brought to the table last year. We would not hesitate to bring Steph back.''

On House:

``I didn't know what to expect with that,'' Ainge said last night. ``I felt Eddie had a good year with us. But he had some other options, I'm guessing. We are happy he decided to stay with us.''

``He plays better when he has a ball-handler out there with him,'' Ainge concluded. ``It doesn't always have to be another point guard. He has played very well with us with Paul (Pierce) bringing the ball up. But he is a shooter."

Mentions they will re-evalute signing Power in a month to see how his rehab is doing.

It seems that Marbury is definitely coming back, since he wants to re-sign with Boston and that Ainge and Doc want him back. I think he will sign for the veteran minimum. Good news!

The Marbury/House duo will be a pleasure to watch next year. And I hope Powe's rehab allows him to come back earlier than expected but it's unlikely.

if marbury can provide consistency and scoring off the bench while being a positive personality on the celtics, then it would be a major coup for the team.

a proven scorerer and passer off the bench would help the celtics immensely.....if all the above pan out.

so far, the celtics bench MIGHT look like this...

pg - marbury
sg - house
pf - davis
pf/c - wallace

pretty good bench if wallace signs with the celtics. that would really leave a sf as the only major priority.
