Excellent news -- the most dependable PG available. Arroyo is one of the better third string PGs in the league too. 

In terms of the bench, everyone with the exception of Avery Bradley is an experienced and reliable option come that Doc can feel comfortable calling upon during a playoff game if necessary ... great news for Doc Rivers.

I like this. Arroyo's a good pick up. He'll fit.

I am very surprised that Miami cut Arroyo loose. That was a dumb decision.

They are really going to regret going out and signing Mike Bibby.

so assuming we have a fully healthy roster in the playoffs, who does not suit up? I go with Pavlovic, Wafer, and ? Can't decide on the 3rd guy. Bradley?

Bradley is the 15th man.

He is the only player on the roster Doc can't rely on.

If we have a fully healthy roster...then I say leave Wafer, Bradley and Krstic out of the playoffs rotation.

Bradley yes, but I would keep Kristic in, he's very useful, and you can never have too many big guys.

I say: Bradley, Pavlovic, and Murphy will be in street clothes for the playoffs.

I like this signing. Very handy backup. Without Nate and Marquis to occasionally play PG, we were very thin at that position. The depth just got deeper 8)

You'd said assuming a fully healthy team....so, Krstic won't be needed much. Shaq, JO, BBD and Murphy can play the five spot.

Best part of pickup -- no more speculating about pickups.
