Well, who do you think Utah will place more of their faith in ???
I think Carlos Arroyo's contract ends after this year, do you think he fits into Utah's plans for the future?
and if he stays will he get more playing time than Raul Lopez?
Also if Utah signs Andre Miller, who gets no love and what if Stock comes back?
So many questions, I know but I just wanna hear what you guys think
Thanks

I think all of those guys playing in the same team is a very bad decision too. But I don´t think that Stockton will play next year.
All I know about Arroyo and Lopez tell me that with no doubt, Lopez must play more.Maybe I say this because I´m Spanish too, but I said this in another post, but you will be surprised with this guy.


I promise that I will know more English in the future.

I live out of state, so I don't see many Jazz games, but in the 15 or so I've seen this year, I've never seen Arroyo play more than about 4 minutes...so I can't judge him.

Jackson's gone.

I believe this is Stockton's final year. Statistically, he has nothing left to prove...and the one thing missing from making his career one of the greatest ever, he'll never be able to get in Utah. (Was this the 3rd or 4th straight first round playoff exit?)

Pretty much, we're looking at Lopez, possibly Arroyo, and hopefully Andre Miller.


bjdica...have you seen Lopez play before? Can he become a future good NBA point guard?

Stockton, gone.

Arroyo, probably won't be re-signed, doesn't appear to be much of a prospect.

Raul Lopez, injury-prone, will he even be able to play?

Andre Miller, he'll presumably be brought in, so he's the starter, but I think you guys may actually need to sign a backup, I don't think Arroyo is an adequate backup, and I question Lopez's availability and durability. Fortunately, there will be a SURPLUS of adequate veteran PGs who can be had for the veteran's minimum this summer. Do you guys want Jacque Vaughn back? You can have him. Lots of el-cheap-o veteran PGs besides Vaughn--Kenny Anderson, Earl Boykins, Shammond Williams, Junior Harrington, Mike Wilks, Kevin Ollie, Erick Strickland, Chris Whitney, Tyronn Lue, Charlie Ward (after he gets bought out), Rick Brunson, Travis Best. Darrell Armstrong and Scottie Pippen are both free agents, as well, although they will both get more than the veteran's minimum.

Mark Jackson? I expect him to retire. I also expect Rod Strickland and Tim Hardaway to finally go away and stay away.

I don't think we'd want Vaughn back.


Earl Boykins would be pretty cool....
