Eerily similar to Zach's contract back when Roy demanded we trade him. Zach is still rockin' while Roy is barely walking. Now it's obvious to anyone had we traded Roy instead we'd have an offensive juggernaut in the front court and a pre-injury Roy-caliber player too, like Chris Paul maybe. Great that Roy has so much power that he makes decisions on personnel and playing time.
Roy calling out Zach was one of the best things that has happened to this franchise in the past 10 years. It pretty much ended the jailblazers era. Just because his knees are giving out, and Zach's (surprisingly) aren't doesn't change that. Roy is still a class act and Zach is a thug. Their injury statuses have surprisingly flip-flopped, but who would have known at the time? Are we seriously having threads about trading the wrong guy?
You guys act like the guy is dead. He had 20-5-5 tonight, including three successful drives and got to the line for 9 free throws. He's still better than most shooting guards in the league.
My problem with Roy is not his talent! Clearly over the years he shown he has it! However his knees and his new contract make it very hard for the Blazers to improve with additional talent if he can't produce to the level he's paid to do!
Except Roy never called Zach out. He knifed him in the back while pretending to be his friend and teammate. Class act? Hardly.
Oh, my mistake, the Blazers were competitive with Zach as their best player? Guess I was confusing that team with one that got in the lottery to draft Roy.
Since he played on that team with Rasheed Wallace, has Zbo even sniffed the playoffs? It's not like he has had a record of success. Unless you consider Sergio Rodriguez success....
