Agreed. It didn't hit the Blazers salary cap, it was only Paul Allen wallet. His wallet and trusts are fine. The insurance company got the cash instead, maybe they ultimately used it better? Maybe not, who knows. I don't understand how some fans can be mad over a decade later that money went back and forth between Paul Allen and insurance companies.
This.... I feel like people forget these dudes while highly paid are still humans, and im sure basketball was/is his life and didnt want to give it up until he fully realized.... i hold no grudge against him.... plus when i met him with HCP he said i had nice shoes and i shall never forget that.... thanks again HCP!
What curse. Dude was amazing. His knees had a timeline. But it sure was fun to watch him being a huge part of the Blazers Revival after the awful JailBlazers Era.
This is good news. There is a possibility that the Blazers could accidentally select someone who isn't career-ending injury-prone, and Roy can surely help weed out anyone who is too healthy to be a Blazer. barfo
Damnit, I started my search for a pot and kettle image before reading the whole thread. 8 seconds wasted!!
Oh I don’t know, mediocrity x infinity, injuries, unmet potential, lack of leadership…you know, all the BRoy stuff.
The B Roy stuff i remember is buzzer beating shots , taking over games in the closing minutes (only bested by Dame) , and helping take our team out of National Laughingstock mode.
Listen, I liked a lot of the BRoy era, but this should make our team a national laughingstock. We are without a rudder.
Naw, did tanking for Duncan , make the Spurs a laughingstock? The JailBlazer Era was a HUGE slap in the face to Blazers fans. I had guys in Denver who weren't big NBA fans who knew about that embarrassment.
That line of thinking doesn't even make sense. We picked an ex-player to sit in while ping-pong balls bounce around. Nobody outside Portland even cares. Do you care who Sacramento brings?
You're off base and putting words in my mouth. Just read what @tykendo wrote first. This place... What does tanking for Duncan have to do with some pouty, ex-Timberwolf? I said NOTHING about tanking or the Spurs or anything. It is just absurd to bring BRoy back at all. He hasn't been a part of anything for Portland since his T-Wolves days. That's my point: it's dumb. How silly would it have been if it had been Clyde? Very silly, no? But much less silly than BRoy. At least Clyde is arguable the best player to ever wear a Blazer jersey (I'm a Dame guy, but I said 'arguably'). That's how silly this is.
Dame and BRoy have talked to each other multiple times in private so No this isn't BRoys first part of anything since the TWolves. It's laughable some "fans" give BRoy a hard time for not being involved with the Blazers, but criticism him for now being involved with the Blazers.
