Big news (for Maccabi fans of course), but what's the point adding links to sites in hebrew?? :crazy:

(Unless maybe Hebrew is tought as a 2nd language in Florida, or somthing)

Best of luck to Arroyo. He was aggrevating to watch much of the time, but he seems like a good guy.

I wonder what kind of production we might see from him over there...

Similar to the Arroyo we saw on the Magic?

Similar to the Arroyo we saw on the Puerto Rican team?

But you don't know what the source really say!!!

Example- Breaking news, Allan Houston signed a 28 mil. contract with Alba Berlin:

Arroyo is a very nice guy. Got the chance to meet him and he's cool. I think he'll do very good over there and I'm happy for him. His style doesn't fit the Magic, and as a player he worked on my nerves on many occasions but I wish him well!

I imagine that there is a good chance that someone on here can read it. If it were made up, I'm sure they would say so.

Also, my guess is that if a person wanted to, they might be able to find an online translator.

Frankly, I don't really see what there is to bitch about. Someone heard some news relevant to Magic fans, and provided the only source (other than their word) that they had to back it up, unfortunately, not in English.

I wish him luck but the farther away he is from Orlando, the better.

The title of Brian Schmitz latest blog entry says "Carlos Arroyo signs with Israel?" That is priceless. Yea Brian he signed with Israel. That guy is a TERRIBLE beat writer.

i can just see maccabi fans getting all hot and bothered (shvitzing?) over chuck's excessive dribbling now.

Carlos is a terrific international player.

Does anyone know where his brother plays?

OMPunk · Post #18 » by **OMPunk** » Sun Aug 3, 2008 11:00 pm

This is the best of all worlds!

--Carlos is good because he is getting paid and will get some more playing time in Europe.

--I'm great because not only is my least favorite player not on the team anymore, but we don't even have to watch him play anymore!!!

--The Magic are better off because they no longer would have to bear witness to the over dribbling and chucking skills of Arroyo.....sorry but your one 10 assist game isn't impressing anybody!

This is how I feel inside!!!! :rockon:

If Arroyo isn't the best PG in that league, I would be shocked. I wonder how many players in that league will be making more than him. I have to think he will be one of the top ten earners in that league, meaning that they expect him to be top-ten talent.

At the level of that league, Arroyo should be good enough to pull off his style of play. It could be both effective and entertaining (the opposite of what it was here). I bet it turns out to be a great financial move for the Israeli club.

Carlos had some up and down times here but it was nice that he was able to get out more of the puerto rican fans out to the games.

Best of luck to Carlos Arroyo.
