Orlando MAGIC: English Chat Transcript: Carlos Arroyo - Florida

“When Carlos Arroyo was traded to the city with the second-highest Puerto Rican population in the United States, he knew he was in for a treat. So when Arroyo made his debut in Orlando wearing a Magic uniform on Feb. 24, he was welcomed to a thunderous ovation from a crowd that included more than a dozen Puerto Rican flags.

Arroyo came to the Magic on February 15 as part of the package that included Darko Milicic in exchange for Kelvin Cato and a future protected first round draft pick. Within hours of the trade announcement, fans were already scrambling to be the first to purchase their Arroyo Magic jerseys and tickets to see Carlos in action. From a playing perspective, Arroyo hasn’t disappointed his new team or new fan base. The fifth-year point guard has averaged 12.3 points per game, including a season-high 21 points against Phoenix on March 3.”
