"But if Cho isn't talking, he at least appears to be working the phone lines. One Blazers player and one source within the organization said Cho has inquired about the availability of Atlanta guard Jamal Crawford, only to be rebuffed by the Hawks.

Cho reads this forum. He just figures out what will make us scratch our heads and then does it. "I know... I'll tell 'em I'm trying to get, um.. um... Jamal Crawford!" barfo
It is cool when someone gives you a super long answer to a joke post though. I was hoping for that lol.
LOL it just continues. May sound controversial on Roy's part but I can't say what he's saying here isn't true. It's not a great fit. It wasn't last year even before the first pre-season game. It's why McMillan had ideas of putting Miller in the 2nd unit. Roy's knee is certainly part of his decline this year, but I just wonder how much of it is still being paired with Miller also. He's not making it up that it hurts his style of play.
A guy who scores seven points complains that the personnel doesn't fit him? It's the other way around at this point. Time to go to the second unit and bond with Patty, Brandon. barfo
A floor spacing point might help Roy, but he played pretty damn well alongside Miller last year, posting nearly identical numbers to his career best third season. If the Blazers do trade Miller it might make life a little bit easier on Roy, but he's still missing shots badly, still isn't getting much elevation on his drives and is slumping in every category you can measure. Roy looks like he's done and it seems as though he's looking for a place to point the finger rather than facing the hard truth that his body has betrayed him ... it's understandable and pitiable, but he's in a pretty serious state of denial if he thinks that bringing in a Blake clone is going to wipe away his struggles.
Right now Miller is a better player and more valuable to the team than Roy. If Roy doesn't like being paired with Miller, put Roy on the 2nd team, although there are no shooters on the 2nd team either so we would still need to acquire one.
