Celtics sign PG Carlos Arroyo

The Boston Globe’s Celtics blog reports that the C’s have inked Carlos Arroyo. Arroyo is a 12-year vet who last played for the Miami Heat. He has career averages of 6 points and 3 assists per game.

Many felt with Delonte West banged-up, Bradley still green (pun intended) and Rondo logging alot of minutes, going into the postseason without another (true) point guard would be foolish. I personally think this is a very smart move. Arroyo is a solid backup, and has a decent amount of postseason experience. He was a member of the 2004-05 Pistons that were beat by the Spurs in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

    I am sure Danny wanted Bibby over Arroyo but Bibby picked Miami.

    Hopefully he gets 22 DNP-CD’s.

    I guess I’ll stop hating the guy for now.Hopefully he doesnt make the playoff roster.

    What do you mean, doesn’t make the playoff roster? The playoff roster is the same size as the regular season roster, 15.

    Actually, does it go down to 12 for the playoffs?!?!

    I think this link covers that question:

    Signing a guy who clearly must resent the Heat and knows their playbook. Nice work DA. :)

    It’s 12 you can dress.

    Playoffs or regular season I meant to say, it’s 12.

    So you go from saying that you hope they don’t sign Carlos Arroyo in another article to saying it is a very smart move in this article?

    If you think this is a smart move about a “solid player”, so why were you hoping Arroyo not coming in Boston in a previous post?

    Nobody likes Arroyo, but he will fill a need. Keeping Rondo’s minutes more manageable until the playoffs and when Delonte gets back. We were all hoping for something better, but this was probably the best option at this time.

    i think it was two different posters that posted each of these articles…

    Yeah, I’m the one that said please don’t let it be Arroyo. I gotta get over that, though. He’s not our starting PG… he’s a 3rd string guy who, if everyone is healthy, won’t see any time in the playoffs.

    I’m the one who said “please not Arroyo”. KWAPT is entitled to his opinion.

    Ok.
    Of course I’m not an Arroyo’s fan as well but, as you guys pointed out, he’ll hopefully be of some help sometimes.
    Go C’s!
