KP wrestling with failure - Roy and Aldridge talks stalled

I'll join you on the bench, but if this is true, I'm beginning to see you in a new light, my man.

 

I don't believe it.

 

It would be absolutely mind-boggling if it is true that they're trying to get Roy to a four year contract instead of a five year one. There is just no conceivable way this makes sense at all.

 

Why isn't an extension signed yet? 5 years/Max should be a NO BRAINER, yet it hasn't even been rumored yet. Bargnani inked his deal yesterday, yet we still haven't decided to give Roy the max?

Am I missing something here? What the fuck is going on?

 

I wonder if it's just a team option for the 5th year? Still, don't be f-ing around with the best franchise player this team has seen since Drexler.

 

I don't believe that this is true...I'll buy that talks are stalling, but for good reason...POR is waiting to sort out thier FA moves 1st before they move on to extending Roy\Aldridge and signing thier 2nd rounders....

It is unfathomable that POR would only offer Roy a 4 year deal instead of a 5yr deal...

 

I hope Quick is just assuming that because Bargnani signed today, and that Brandon and LaMarcus didn't, that something went wrong... when in reality, the Blazers have just been so focused on Hedo and Millsap and contingency plans that they aren't too worried about our two cornerstones. But we should be getting these guys signed as our first priority.
None of this free agency, cap space, lopsided trade crap means anything to me if we don't get these two signed.

 

WTF KP!! WTF r u doing..

KP with nervous breakdown or some shit? WTF, SIGN ROY NOW WTFFFF

 

This is WAY too stupid to be true.............can it?

 

I'm hoping you're right. If not, I have to view Pritchard in a different way than I currently view him. Then again, this is Jason Quick, so who knows what the real story is at this point.

Anyhow, I might actually listen to Gavin Dawson in the am tomorrow.

 

I did put the "if" qualifier in my post above ... but .... umm ... wow. I'm willing to withold judgment until we get more information, but I have a hard time believing Quick would just throw this out there if he hadn't heard it from at least a somewhat credible source -- doing otherwise makes no sense as a reporter, unless you intend to burn some bridges and damage some relationships with the team that you cover day in and day out.

 

What this report is alleging is basically incomprehensible. It's almost equivalent to a report that the Blazers are considering waiving Aldridge. When the claim is that off-the-wall, either there's been an outbreak of insanity that has affected multiple people in the same front office, or the report is simply not accurately representing the situation.

 

Fuckin' Kevin Pritchard.

Quit fucking around with the franchise guy and quit dicking around.

KP's ego is starting to get on my nerves.

 

I hope you are right. If Roy and Aldridge aren't signed by next week, we're going to seriously have to think about what's on KP's mind.

This is crazy.

 

come on guys, what happened to "In Pritch We Trust". its everyone's mantra. tatoo it on your forehead.

 

This offseason just seems to be one letdown after another... I mean, I'll withhold a final judgment until the end when training camp starts, but I haven't been exactly jumping for joy with anything that's happened so far.

 

I don't understand then, how the easiest of easy decisions, can take so long to make? Roy - 5years/Max, DONE, give it to him. Why is it taking so long? Unless there's really a snatch going on with the negotiations.

 

This does not add up. It makes no sense.

 

Yeah, if those two aren't signed by next week... I'll seriously be worried. What kind of negotiations other than here's the max we can give you, sign here franchise cornerstone, Rookie of the Year, All-NBA Second-Teamer, Two-Time All-Star.
