    Blazers Showed Interested In Jasikevicius

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">No matter what Lithuanian point guard Sarunas Jasikevicius says about a lack of NBA interest, he's a player the Trail Blazers seriously inquired about this offseason.

    "I was a free agent in Europe, and it never came -- any offers. (NBA teams) talked about they were interested, but there weren't even any minimum offers," Jasikevicius said after making 7 of 12 three-pointers and scoring 28 points in a 94-90 victory over the United States on Saturday.

    On Sunday, Blazers general manager John Nash said he contacted Jasikevicius' agent in early July, but Nash said Jasikevicius chose to re-sign with Euroleague club Maccabi Tel Aviv.</div>

    So what do you think if he were to sign with the Blazers?

    It's like signing the European-Bonzi Wells,we don't need another guard who shoots like him and acts like him.

    As RJ said,just because he had a good game everyone are sayin' he gonna
    be a 10 time all-star,too many people including his current coaches say that he do not fit to the NBA style,he don't have any endurance or defence...

    He can fit well with Dallas (even though Cuben don't want him sayin that he's only a good International player)

    I watched a lot of games with Jasikevicius and I must say he could an all star given a chance
    But then again, there are not many coaches prepared to give minutes to european guy at one
