The Latest Non-News on Marquis Daniels

Via John Hollinger's chat on ESPN.com:

Q. Who should the celts sign as back up PG?

JH: They
already have a deal with their guy, Marquis Daniels, they just haven't
inked yet because they're desperately trying to make it a sign and
trade. Daniels will play with House in the backcourt with the second
unit and they'll trade assignments on D.

So Hollinger likes Daniels at the point on offense, while covering the two-guard on the other end of the floor. If that's the case, who is spelling Paul Pierce?

Q. If daniels plays back-up point for the Celts, who backs up Pierce at
the 3? And please don't say Tony "I have never seen a shot fake I
didn't jump out of my shoes for" Allen.

JH: I
like Allen better than you do, but I think he'll have a lot of
competition from Bill Walker for those minutes … if the Celtics don't
trade him first.

Hollinger – who once called J.R. Giddens "terrible"  – likes Tony Allen. Is he trying to lose all credibility?
