actually scratch that, can we be barred from ever getting the #1 through #10 picks? We almost always fuck it up.
The question should be what's his free agent contract going to be going for with this bomb added to his past, and will we match it (whatever it is)?
The least we can give him is a qualifying offer of $8.5 mil. Unless he takes on less money because of some loyalty factor, GO as a Blazer (or possibly for ever) = done
So he injured himself in practice or getting up off the coach? How can anyone believe this bum is capable of having an NBA career? I'd offer him a 6 year 12 million dollar contract, just in case his body ever get's is act together. What would suck even worse, is if he goes on to be a star for another team. But anyway, this is like watching the final turd being flushed down the toilet. Our hopes of a championship, let alone a dynasty, seem really foolish now. This is piled on top of the Roy situation. When Miller and Camby retire, this team will be a lottery team, but we won't be able to get any free agents with Brandon Roy's contract hampering us. I feel like we're back to the Zach Randolph days....
I though we might have been through it all, but what a fukkin joke on me, how unreal is this when we've been agonizing over a possible Roy Microfracture or whatever. Good luck Greg, I can't believe this is happening.
OK. You lost me there. So where does $8.5 mil come in if nobody would ever take the risk? If the best offer 29 GM's will offer him is some one year deal for like $2M, are you saying we can't match?
Something interesting to notice is that Richard Steadman (my knee guy) in Vail is doing the surgery. Gee, do you think GO's team might have a beef with the Blazers' knee guy in Vancouver? I'd be willing to bet that GO's reps are not pleased with the way the Blazers have rehabbed him.
Is anybody surprised by this news? The guy is fucking DONE, and this franchise is obviously cursed. Did Paul Allen sell his soul to befriend Bill Gates?
