Et Tu, Eddie? House Signs With Heat..

Post by Laii on Fri Jul 30, 2010 12:45 pm

Well, it looks like we are going to have a tough time rooting vehemently against everyone in Miami next year, upon the revelation Eddie House will be signing with The Heat, according to the twitter of Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal is reportedly 2 years for 2.8 million dollars total, but don’t let those numbers fool you, it’s strictly a 2 year deal at the veteran’s minimum.

A multi-year offer for the 32 year old sharpshooter was likely the best Eddie was going to do in this market, especially coming off of a poor shooting season last year.

The C’s reportedly had been in contact with House’s agent this offseason, but with the re-signing of Nate Robinson, there appeared to be have been no real spot for House in the C’s rotation next year anyway, as we noted here at CelticsHub earlier this week.

For the Heat, this is another solid veteran bench get, a guy with real playoff chops (59 games) and who as recently as 2008-09, shot 48 percent from downtown in 2 playoff series, helping keep a shorthanded C’s team competitive.

I’m not sure how much Eddie has left in the tank after things went sour last year, but he will certainly get plenty of open looks on that Heat squad from beyond the arc, let’s just hope he isn’t hitting them against the Green team. The guy is a class act though, so good for him getting the security of a 2 year deal at this point in his career.
