    If this is true, this is worth bashing Pritchard/Vulcans/Allen over versus any move not made this summer.

    WTF? Just max out Roy for 5 years!

    Getting Milsap will give a little leverage in the LMA contract negotiations.

    Why WOULDN'T we want to sign him for the most years possible? If anything, I would have guessed Roy would want less years, and KP would want more.

    As mentioned above, if this is true then what the fuck is KP thinking? Jesus sweet fucking christ, get your franchise player locked into a five year deal.

    Which would probably piss Aldridge off, and that's not a good thing. Aldridge seems like a guy that holds grudges.

    Love how Quick says both LA (Artest) and Houston (Ariza) have improved when they merely swapped SFs.

    How exactly does that work?

    Exactly.. this seems exactly what we want anyway. Brandon Roy... an All-NBA second teamer wants to be here, and we want to shortchange the man? Ugh..:crazy::crazy::crazy:

    Anybody else getting the feeling KP might only be cut out for running the draft and scouting talent? Goddammit :banghead:

    On a side note: Rudy was extreamly please with the news and his agent made it clear to the Blazers that Fernandez is ready to step in and fill in for Roy if need be.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Assuming it is true, it's crazy. But I have a hard time believing it. There's no reason why Allen would tell Pritchard to spend money to go for it and they'd use all the cap space to try to sign a pricey Millsap and then try to stiff Roy on a few million dollars.

    I don't think this report is giving a full account of what is going on.

    I don't even know what to think if this is true.

    I'm pissed.

    Again, if this is true, Pritchard/Vulcans need to be held accountable, especially considering they offered HEDO F**KING TURKOGLU FIVE YEARS. Sign Roy, YESTERDAY, and LMA too.

    I don't even know where to start, so I think it's best for everyone if I sit back and let this play out a bit.

    haha.. good point. Hedo for five years, and Brandon for four?? That doesn't make any sense... I'm hoping Quick is just talking about his ass on this one. If not, then someone needs to be fired!
