OAKLAND, Calif. Mario Williams Womens Jersey . —The Bay
Area could be a landing spot for Brandon Roys return to basketball. The Golden
State Warriors and Roy met earlier this week about him joining the team in the
free agents attempted comeback, a person familiar with the situation said
Tuesday. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were
preliminary, said the Warriors met with Roy on Sunday and were hoping to meet
with the former Portland guard again this week. Nothing was scheduled yet. Roy,
a three-time All-Star, announced his retirement in December after five seasons
with the Trail Blazers because of chronic knee problems. The 27-year-old has
averaged 19 points, 4.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 321 games. Minnesota,
Cleveland and others also have expressed an interest in Roy. While he has only
played for Portland, Golden State does offer some familiarity. Roy used to be
represented by new Warriors general manager Bob Myers, a former sports agent.
Roy would seem to be a perfect fit for Golden States system—if healthy—
playing alongside shooters Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. New centre
Andrew Bogut also is expected to team with scoring power forward David Lee. Its
unclear how much money Roy is seeking. The Warriors also are still unsure of the
status of Roys knees. Myers had said Monday that its unlikely the Warriors would
use all of their mid-level exception—about $5 million—because the team was
close to the luxury tax. Its also doubtful Roy would sign for the veteran
minimum, which will be around $1 million a year. The sixth overall pick in the
2006 draft out of Washington, Roy was acquired by the Blazers in a draft-day
trade. The 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year made the All-Star team from 2008-2010.
The Warriors are trying to make a rare push to the playoffs, and a healthy Roy
could help. With only one playoff appearance since 1994, Golden State will
finally have a starting lineup that has a legitimate chance to make the
post-season again—if healthy. Health, however, is a huge concern even without
Roy. Bogut, the 2005 No. 1 overall pick and best centre the franchise has had in
at least a decade, fractured his left ankle Jan. 25 with Milwaukee and sat out
the rest of the season when he was acquired in a trade for star guard
Monta Ellis. Curry repeatedly sprained his surgically repaired right ankle last
season while playing only 26 games. And Lee missed the final eight games,
undergoing surgery to repair a torn abdominal muscle. All are expected back by
training camp Also Tuesday, the Warriors signed first-round pick
Harrison Barnes. The former North Carolina small forward was drafted seventh
overall last week. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Steve Johnson Womens Jersey . He was 73. The

victory over El Salvador on Friday night and sent the Serie A team back to Italy
undefeated on its three-game US exhibition tour. The match was marred by three
altercations, with the most serious coming in the 80th minute when Panagiotis
Tachtsidis tangled with a Salvadoran defender to bring on the games second
shower of debris from the stands. Tachtsidis was ejected and became enraged
after being hit by what appeared to be a piece of fruit. Three warnings about
throwing objects from the stands were issued during the second half at Red Bull
Arena, where fans of El Salvador outnumbered Roma supporters by about 5-to-1 in
the crowd of 14,561. Roma, which previously beat Polish club team Zaglebie Lubin
4-0 at Wrigley Field and the English Premier Leagues Liverpool 2-1 in Fenway
Park, was the aggressor throughout, with Erik Manuel Lamela getting ejected for
fighting in the first half, when Serie As seventh-place finisher outshot the
Sallvadoran national team 14-2. C.J. Spiller Womens Jersey. Krkic scored when
he slid a ball off the right goalpost, caroming it behind goalkeeper Dagoberto
Portillo. Pablo Daniel Osvaldo gave Roma a 1-0 lead just 36 seconds into the
game and Isidro Gutierrez equalized for El Salvador in the 49th minute. Osvaldo,
an Italian national team call-up who scored 11 goals in 26 league appearances
for Roma last season, took a feed from near midfield and dribbled past defender
Mardoqueo Henriquez down the right side, finding just enough space to square up
and put a low shot into the left corner past Portillo. El Salvador had few
first-half chances, but turned the heat up in the second half, pressuring the
ball after Roma coach Zdenek Zeman made wholesale changes at halftime. Among
those taken out were U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley, who is preparing for his
first season with Roma, and Italy forward Francesco Totti. Roma returns to
Europe to prepare for its Serie A opener against Catania the weekend of Aug.
