Sure its been discussed and not saying I want it, but..... Can an amnestied player be signed by another team and traded back to the club the amnestied before the original contract is up?
I've said this for years! I think Walton and Drexler deserve it, I'd even toss in Lucas for being the steadying force for so long and he was a part of the 77 team, the rest of the players have no business being up there.
Agreed. I think they could make a grand announcement that the Blazers were instituting a HOF to soften the blow of those that may be offended, and given some time re-work the retired jersey system for players deserving of it. That would make it a much more meaningful honor for sure.
I would definitely not retire his number. He just didn't do it long enough, never got us out of the first round.
I'd also throw Terry Porter into the mix, but that's it. BRoy isn't even in the conversation with his tragic career.
I think we should give his number a medical retirement. The jersey would hang from the ceiling of Jay Jensen's office. Then take it back down after a few months. barfo
Have you ever had a car accident? Insurance pays in the short run. But they have to make a profit. You pay in the long run, in increased premiums. Paul Allen is paying that $80 million one way or the other.
Why was there so much money necessary to be removed from the books? Because after publicly lobbying for Allen to surrender to the Roy-Pritchard alliance, Roy disclosed his medical problems right after signing the contract.
Hope it works out for the best for Roy. I'll be shocked if he can play over 20 MPG or on back to backs.
I predict that this is the acquisition which will bring down the mighty Kahn. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes Brandon Roy on Softy/KJR on Comcast SportsNet NW says he had reginicon plasma injected in his knees. 5 shots on each knee. Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes Brandon Roy says he feels great and "rest" was what he needed. Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes Brandon Roy says he's pain-free and says the last time he played pain-free, was before his junior season at Washington. Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes Brandon Roy says he and Minnesota have not talked about his role w/team. Says he wants to make it hard on Adelman not to play him.
Serious question for all of you Blazer fans. What do you honestly think Roy's got left in the tank? As a fan of the Wolves I'm good with the signing, and I think it's worth a shot. I'm just looking for a little perspective.
