Well, that didn’t take long.

A day after waiving Dionte Christmas and Jamar Smith, the Celtics turned to Leandro Barbosa to address their backup point guard needs.

Barbosa is a serviceable combo guard with a score-first mentality.  But when you consider how few options there were out there, and how little Rajon Rondo will actually sit, the mere fact the Celtics will have an NBA veteran to bring the ball up and let Courtney Lee and Jason Terry play their more natural roles makes this signing a decent one.
