You can now add one more name to the list of point guards Portland has spoken to this offseason.

 

HOOPSWORLD has learned the Trail Blazers engaged in discussions with Carlos Arroyo and his agent late last week in Las Vegas according to a league executive.

I'm not really sure there's any team that would be interested in Carlos as a starter.

[jec 427]

Well, there goes that option. Likely wasn't going to happen anyway. But if we wanted him at all, it certainly wouldn't be as a starter.

 

I can't think of a team that would have him start. Doesn't Portland still have Steve Blake? He's going to end up on an awful NBA team, or stay overseas.

I just think its ludicrous for Carlos to think he can waltz back into the league and start for a team after spending last year overseas.

 

Good luck to him.

"Point guard Carlos Arroyo(notes), who played for Israel Maccabi Tel Aviv last season, is determined to return to the NBA next season and is receiving interest from six teams, a league source said."

Don't know about you guys, but I feel we have to take all these rumors for what they are ... all we can do is speculate ... time will tell ...

I mean, who could blame him ... as the old saying goes, he must decide wether he wants to be the "head of a mouse, or the tail of a lion" ... if being the head of a mouse, with right amount of money, then there you go ... it all will be reduce to satisfying his needs, pretty much as everyone else ...
