This board needs a new scapegoat - FAST
On a side note, the Euroleague's gonna be exciting this year.

I see two issues here:

1) Arroyo's game is compatable to FIBA style ball, and Arroyo should be a star for Israel.

2) Arroyo has opt-outs every year for three years, and he could thus return stateside at any interval. That seems plausible only if the dollar/Euro ration changes. As all economist predict the next year will see further American declines, Arroyo is unlikely to have a better NBA offer over the next two years over his current deal. So, maybe he comes back in three years, but I think he's gone from the NBA forever.

Arroyo was fighting for his "career contract" to be able to "feed his family." It is not at all a surprise he would sign a financial deal to his benefit for a team that will win a truck-load of games, where he gets to be a star in those wins.

Best wishes.

Oh wow, i see a lot of NBA players going to Europe... Anywho good luck Carlito!!!

What's the name of that girl in your ava, is it Selena by any chance ?

Anyway, I'm happy about this news. The bad part is we now REALLY need a backup PG, cause Nelson is all we got. I hope the JC trade goes through.
