    This is great news for the franchise. You should all be elated. Roy was toast.

    It was inevitable. What was sad was him taking 5 games off, having a good game, then 3-4 bad games. Then a great game, then rinse and repeat. Love Roy, I'll rock his jersey when I go to the first game this year, but this is the best possible outcome given the circumstances.

    Canzano doesn't break stories. He's not a reporter, he's not an investigative journalist, he's a gossip columnist. He's Rona Fucking Barrett with a shaved head and an axe to grind. He's a professional shit stirrer that gets paid to piss people off. Anyone who follows him on Twitter, or anywhere else gets what they deserve.

    A very sad day for Blazers fans and a sad one for Roy and his family.

    Great analogy. I agree Canzano has sunk to a new low.

    A source in the front office told me that he's "out to get them". Supposedly they froze him out. He doesn't get interviews or access anymore.

    Yeah, but he has 50 million reasons and the best his knees will every be again, to get over it. Besides, the cat is loved in pdx. I have to think he ends up here in some fashion.

    Well...

    If Roy's contract doesn't count against the cap next year, the Blazers will only be committed to $37M($26M if Gerald opts out).

    Wow. I don't know what to think or feel about this. Too much weird timing and too many unanswered questions.

    Damn Boob, showing your age with that post, lol. I don't think I've heard Rona Barrett's name in 20 years.

    I'm wondering now why didn't the Blazers have Roy check in with his doctor first and then arrange for a meeting with him; seems like it could have avoided this roller coaster of emotions.
