Sergio Rodriguez. I would embrace waiving Joseph for Spanish Chocolate.

Well, it should be noted that this will be for third string PG duties.  Jason Terry is absolutely going to be the primary backup PG and there absolutely won't be anyone else playing there unless there's foul trouble or injuries.  Anyone who thinks that the Celtics are going to split playing time at the 2 guard spot between Terry, Lee, and Bradley is kidding themselves.  There aren't even enough minutes for 2 of them. 

So, I'd really be fine with any of the vet options.

Of the 4, I would take Flynn because at this point, he's the only one that has some upside. Amongst all of his deficiencies, which I don't doubt, Flynn atleast has shown he can produce (which was only in his rookie year but whatever). He's only 23, and I don't think the Rockets or the Blazers really trusted him.

If not him then I would go with Arroyo just based on his very small experience with the team. Doc, KG, and Pierce were impressed with his performance while he was here. Plus he's younger than Bibby and Fisher.

I wouldn't take Bibby or Fisher even if they paid the Celtics to play for them.

HOWEVER, I have to agree with some of what the other posters have said. I would take T-Mac before any of these guys. He's nowhere near the player he was, course we all knew that, but the man is ideal for the fifth guard. He's still a versatile player and wasn't half bad when he played against us last season. His issue is inconsistency, but he'll be the fifth guard so it's not like he'll be a huge piece. The man can play 1-3 and has some good defensive instincts.

Remember, it's the FIFTH guard. The one that's not going to get much time on the team. We already have a great guard rotation in Rondo, Bradley, Terry, and Lee. It's not like we are desperate for more talent.

I'd leave the spot open for later in season as I think we will be fine with rondo, terry and when he's back bradley with pp to help run offense BUT if you need an answer I'd go with Arroyo.  A vet who doesn't need minutes for 10 games in a row but will give you minutes when called on

Flynn would be interesting, in a "wouldn't it be interesting to have a D-league quality player run a championship contender?" sort of way.

I suspect Flynn is actually worse than the top D-League point guards.

Folks...Fisher is gonna be bench player, and no starter. Keep that in mind please. Additional his experience, and is still a great 3 point sniper.

No. The Suns extended his contract for this year.
