Seen some tweets in the past few days about him coming back. How much would it hurt if he came back and could still get it done on the court? @PeterVecsey1
If he needs to come back to get peace of mind, I say do it. I think BRoy will come back, see that he can't play anymore, and then retire for good. I don't think he ever really got that closure that he needed.
Moneymaking idea for the Harlem Globetrotters: Have the Washington Generals sign Roy, Miles, Oden, Walton, and Bowie.
At this point, I'm fine with BRoy coming back and playing for another team. Given his knee situation, there's no way that he's more than 15-20 minutes a game man and it's debatable how long he can keep that up. It would suck to see him in a Laker uniform, but any other team and I'm fine with him getting some closure on his career. More power and luck to him.
I'm with e_blazer. If he wants to try, anyone but the Lakers. Why go there? He's not going to ride them to a championship, he'd play maybe 5 minutes a game if that. Does he really want to go from one of the most loved to one of the most reviled Blazers ever?
I'd imagine he's also watching to see whether Chris Hansen gets a team back in Seattle -- having grown up in Seattle, I bet he'd love to be on that first new Sonics team.
I agree ,anyone but the Lakers. It would KILL me to see him on the Lakers. Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk 2
Dear Brandon, Don't play for the Lakers. Most Blazer fans really, really, really, really fucking hate that pompus, privileged, entitled, star-cock sucking, ego driven, star-call given, always on TV, late arriving fans..... do I need to go on. That you would need to even be reminded of this is disturbing enough. You would soil your legacy and place in Blazer history by (essentially) giving the finger to many Blazer fans who couldn't stand the sight of you in Purple and Piss and playing with Kobe and for the the Buss Boys. Pick any other team in the NBA. Not the Lakers. Not now. Not ever. Sincerely, One of Your Many Fans
His knees are bone-on-bone! If he wants talk walk when he's in his 40's/50's he should not consider a comeback. It's not worth it.
If I were him I would try. Walking is overrated. Kidding, but by the time he's 50 I bet there will be better ways to make knees at least functioning, even with his condition.
I think he could be amazing if he only played once a week. He had a few awesome games in his last year when he was fully rested. When he came back early in the season against Phoenix. But he just can't play anywhere close to 82 games. Even sitting out all back to backs wouldn't be enough, he needs to only play ever 3rd game or less. I'm so over my Blazer homerism with Roy and Oden. Its just a freaking shirt, I care more about those two guys as people and I'd love to see them overcome horrific injuries. It would be a great story and very exciting to watch no matter what logo its under.
