    Haven't got a link yet, but it was reported on 1320 KFAN that Raul Lopez suffered a knee injury and is out for the season.

    Howard Eisley might be starting now [​IMG] .

    Yeah, O'Connor wasn't willing to make any long term committments about Raul Lopez with the Jazz...I think this is the end of the line for Raul.

    You need more than talent to succeed in today's NBA. Raul just doesn't have it.

    I'm not so sure he'll even be able to find another job with another team...

    When healthy, Raul Lopez can be an effective option off the bench. Unfortunately, he will never reach his potential due to his injury history. The Jazz really need a PG in the draft who can come in and make an immediate impact.

    If McLeod is better, we are back to square one. We started the season with McLeod and Eisley as our healthy PG and it looks like we will end with them. But I agree with calijazz, this might be the end of the line for Raul with the Jazz. When Raul plays, he is very much like Stockton in that he is a pass-first PG, but he is probably more injury prone than anyone in the leauge. I really do like Raul and wish he would stay healthy, but I believe this might be the end of the line for him. [​IMG]
