    Well at least not this season. But I think he willbe Amnesty'd this summer; unless he somehow miraclously performs like he did to warrant that contract. So in other words. 100% this summer. I think Roy has the heart to want to be the player he once was; but he lacks the health to achieve it.

    It's really sad for me because I am such a fan of Roy. We just can't be suffocated via cap in order to stay competitive.

    Man, with the bidding system in place, and teams that have to get players, it is a good time to cut and run. Roys value may never be as high as it is now.

    PS Hey Mags!

    If they want to improve the team this season, move forward into a new era, and have a shot at useful free agents before they start falling off the map, they need to do it sooner rather than later. Watching him do well in pickup games and drills at the practice facility for two weeks is of no value in determining how he's going to hold up playing in this season's accelerated NBA schedule.

    Hey Lincoln! Roy's value is low right now, BTW... I suspect it being higher mid-season. I have this strange feeling that Roy will come out on fire. Won't last, but he will be really good this season and maybe even next. Then I think his knees will finally give out.

    Why? Roy is the face of the franchise. Him and Aldridge should be the #1 topics on this forum. :P

    Dont do it. Wait to see what he brings this season. I dont think it does us much good this year because there is such a short window to use/maximize the $$ we'd then have to spend. It would also be a PR nightmare. If his knee's are shot, then it will be evident this year and maybe he'll retire.

    God could you imagine if he played this season and realized that he can't ever play to the caliber he is accustom to and decides to medically retire? Then becomes an assistant coach and he can retire a Blazer forever! That would be the best case scenario! (crossing fingers)

    you are right, its not very high. The only thing that even gives him any value is his performance in the game 4 with Dallas .

    He is saying that he feels good, but by mid season he could be exposed to be a shadow of his past self and have zero value.

    There are 9 teams that have to spend big money to get tio the new CBA min salery figure.

    think this is the time to do it.

    Medical retirement would be awesome, even to much to hope for.

    Why do you think Roy can coach?

    This franchise is hamstrung every year by the "wait and see" approach. Wasted expiring contracts (RLEC). Wasted young trading chips (Sergio/Rudy). Wasted draft picks (Eurostashes). "Letting the cake bake." When we stop waiting and watching and actually act is when things actually improve (Camby trade, Matthews signing, Wallace trade).

    I'm tired of "wait and see". Painful though it may be, Roy needs to go so that we can move forward.

    Well many have said how smart he is on the court. Even Blazers like Batum have said they've learned so much from him. I would think he would be great for teaching the guards and small forwards how to get to the basket more. He has talent in this department.
