Gene, you're wrong about Manuel playing some point at UNC.  I checked it and he was primarily a 2/3.  He does appear to have the excellent defensive abilities, and that must be the key to his signing.  On Gomes, he is behind Al, Juwan Howard and Craig Smith (possibly), so he may not have an easy road there.  If they don't use him as an SF, he could be free, at least within the year.  Gino

  I liked the E. House signing. Although injuries could be an issue, he had some very good streaks with NJ last year. For short minutes, he would add the outside bomber role to pg. I presume he would be used when only two of the trifecta are on the court, so he could get some good looks. If Pruitt develops quickly, House will not be an albatross. On Manuel, I remember him playing some point during the Felton years at UNC. He has the defensive and BB abilities, though he isn't a big-time scorer. I guess Ainge doesn't want to wait until October to fill in the cracks; maybe the front office needs time to get passports for our Italian camp. In numbers and positions, we have a fullish squad now, but it would be nice to add a real player.

The Gomes rumor seems weird, since most of us think he's a valuable player. Still, we need what he could bring--smart play and spot up shooting. Cheers, Gene
