The funny part of all this is that, for the past two trade deadlines, the Celtics have gone out to get someone to take House’s minutes. In 2008 it was Sam Cassell, and last year it was Marbury. In each case, House had the job back by the end of the year, most famously stepping out of the shadows and limited playing time in the ’08 postseason and playing a large role in the championship run.

At the beginning of 2008 playoffs, I distinctly remember writing a piece entitled Is Sam Cassell the new Eddie House? It did indeed appear that Eddie House had lost his job to the Alien. But when Cassell failed to perform consistently, Doc enjoyed the luxury of being able to call Eddie's number, and, as House would prove time and again, #50 rose to the occasion and played an indispensable role in helping Boston bring home banner 18. The same thing happened all over again last year with Stephon Marbury.
Who will Doc call on if the Nate Robinson experiment fails?
