MIA waives Arroyo for Bibby: too late?

[Mencius]

As a third string PG, and Delonte insurance, I think he'd be great.  I'm all for picking him up, and then complete the roster with another wing.  We're loaded for bear.

[csfansince60s]

Murphy + Arroyo or Ford would be quite a haul. Add Brewer to that list, and all I can say is Wow!

[snively]

Arroyo can handle the ball against pressure and intiate an offense.  That's all you need from a 3rd string PG.

i think the Cs should give Antonio Daniels a look. He is playing in the D league trying to get back in the nba one last time. He is 35 is right now he is averaging 15pts 5reb 8assists. He is a big pg with experience .He also played 2 years with ray in seatle.

Murphy,brewer, and green sign me up

One interesting thing with Arroyo:  he might not get to choose where he plays.  Since he's on a minimum deal, any team in the NBA can put in a waiver claim on him, and he'd have to go there.

Wizards need a reliable PG with Bibby gone.

Not sure, maybe the Clippers too ... Mo Williams is out for the season, right?

Sacramento's backup PGs have been atrocious all season long but I think they'll live with it rather than take on any extra salary.

Last time I was in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I started talking with a taxi driver who was a big NBA fan.  We talked hoops for awhile and he was real talkative and friendly...that was until I mentioned Carlos Arroyo's name.  Then the driver got wicked p---ed off and called Arroyo a bunch of unprintable names.  FYI...Arroyo is from PR, and  his own country men think he is a grade A jerk. 

As a comparison they worship Carlos Beltran.

So take this for what it is worth....which isn't much, I admit.

Good point.

But, as a minimum salary player, he could be picked up by any number of teams, no? Minimum salary players don't require outgoing salaries to match in trades, I know. Is it the same for waived players?

Yeah, any team can put in a waiver claim on a minimum salary player.  If multiple teams put in a claim, he goes to the team with the worse record.

[Bankshot]

I'd rather TJ Ford than Arroyo.

Me too.

I'd also take a couple of D-Leaguers over Arroyo.

Why?  If West goes down, Doc is not playing someone from the Dleague in the playoffs.  We need real NBA players.  Arroyo fits the bill.

Wow. Can you imagine if he were to be picked up by Cleveland? I suppose he could refuse to report.

lol. I'm sure Carlos is praying that doesn't happen.

If Cleveland puts out a claim on him, can he ask them not to?

Once a claim is made, I don't think it can be retracted.  However, I'm sure Arroyo's agent is asking non-playoff teams not to put in a claim.  Teams often want to preserve those agent relationships, so I'm sure Arroyo will be picked up by a playoff team if he's claimed.

Not going to happen.  PG is their strongest position.

I'd rather have Daniels too.  Not an ideal PG. But is going to make a bunch of mistakes.
