TrueHoop: Did Roy say trade Miller or trade me?

Some fans of this team deserve what they get.

 

I don't know what this means.

 

Miller's been professional, I mean after his little tirade with Nate, that is.

 

You think him having it out with Nate face to face is unprofessional? It beats the shit out of passive-aggressively throwing your teammates under the bus through the press.

 

I really don't have any problem with Miller having it out with Nate, although it sounds like it got way beyond the professional level on either side. I'm just saying that he's struggled in trying to find a fit with this team, too.

As far as Roy's deal with Quickie goes, he was dumb to say what he did, but he apologized and I think it's something that you just move on from. If it crops up again, then I'd have a problem with it.

 

That wasn't the first time.

 

Oh, I think he's been pretty consistent in saying that Miller isn't somebody that he really enjoys playing with and that he thinks they don't mesh well. I don't recall another time where he was as negative about the way he said it, but maybe so. I mean, I agree with Roy. I've never thought he and Miller were a good fit, even when Brandon was at the top of his game. What I don't get, however, is how quick so many around here have been to turn on him. As I see it, Brandon's miserable with what's going on. I don't know if I would have been mature enough at 26 to handle the fall from All-Star to where he's at today without letting a bit of my misery out on my teammates. It's not great behavior, but I think it's pretty understandable. As a Blazer fan, I'd rather support the guy as long as he's trying to get better and hope that the team can salvage something out of the season.

 

Judas Priest.

If this story is true, Roy really has turned into Roybe.

 

if true, roy is a bitch.

 

Roy wants to win. Roy/Miller is 11-14 this season. I think that's Roys biggest problem. It doesn't work. In the one game without Miller, Roy easily got to the basket on several possessions, he got to the line 9 times, and we won the game. Please don't turn on Roy, guys. You're like a broken record, turning on Sheed, then, Zach, now Roy.

Look, do you care more about Miller playing well on a losing team or the chance to play better with the right personnel around Roy? Dammit, get it done. Mo Williams, Jamal Crawford, JASON TERRY (in three way to get Dallas Melo?), or even Boobie Gibson. C'mon, Cho. Fix it.

 

This picture captures the tension quite nicely:

 

I think the tone means you are being sarcastic? If I'm right, its nothing that media has done to smear Brandon. We've seen diva like behavior in his quotes. Throwing teammates under the bus, when clearly he is the problem with the team right now.

 

Are we playing the pick sides game?

I mean seriously. Like Miller, or not. He's been the most consistent player on the team this year.

 

People mistake, "turning on him" with realizing that he isn't what he used to be, and most likely never will be. Roy's a great guy, great representative of the city, did great things in Blazer uni. But, lets just be realistic, he isn't what he used to be so we shouldn't keep the offense designed around him and we certainly shouldn't trade for players to keep him happy.

I think without a doubt that he's a diva though. I think the straw that broke the camels back was when we traded away his boys, Outlaw and Blake. He's been pissy every since.

 

Funny thing is, this isn't the first time Roy has done this.

Hi Zach

They will be playing 2 sets at the Roseland on Feb 13th. Should be awesome!

 

I want to go. I've never seen them live. I wonder if they're good live.
