https://twitter.com/#!/CHILLCONROY Jamal Crawford: Right here with @CHILLCONROY and Broy while he does the Q&a off of @CHILLCONROY 's twitter! Some of "B-Roy's" comments: "yes I'm preparing for a comeback. I'm training daily" "I'm preparing for a return next year.. God willing" "I wish but do to the nba rules I cannot play in portland until 2014 2015.. I'm lookin to return sooner" "no matter where I play portland will always have a special place in my heart..#pdx" "thank I got mad love for portland one of the best experiences in my life" oh fuck, he's going to the L*kers. :MARIS61:
in other news, Shawn Kemp has lost weight and will make a comeback. I think this is just a case of someone who still hasn't come to grips with his knee problems. Trying to make a comeback is not the same as traveling. Yes, he knows what it physically takes to play, but it's not the same as actually playing.
I hate to break it to people, but Brandon Roy on the Lakers won't make a huge difference in things. They have a bad coach, soft players (Gasol and bynum) and players who are aging or under performing. He wouldn't all the sudden make bynum show up when it counts or Gasol not be sort or magically remove 10 years from Kobe. Besides the fact that the lakers arent under the cap and iirc amnestied players still have to go through a lotto system of teams under the cap. Of which they aren't.
noone is thinking that Roy suddenly makes them contenders its the fact that to see such an important part of recent Blazer. history sporting the purple and piss, of one of the most hated franchise if your a Blazer fan, is just such a sickening thought. It os one of the only things that can tarnish the memory of "The Natural" basketball career for me. Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk 2
Since when does "medical retirement" mean "take a year off to get healthy"? So... the question has to be asked: Did Roy "retire" to get away from the shitshow that is the Blazers organization?
well the authentic roy jersey i have will have to go back in the closet for awhile and if he signs with the lakers it might just have to go up in flames!
Roy was amnestied to get enough relief to go under the luxury tax by enough to sign Jamal Crawford for 5.2M instead of 3M.
He accepted his knees were shot after a season, he takes time off sees players like Chris Paul/Kobe whos knees are like his and see them still playing. His knee has been getting better all year. Yea I can see how he might decide he can make a comeback, I don't think it will last. By the playoffs next year (If he signs with a team that makes it) his knee will be shot again and he will realize he is done.
I still contend that the Clippers are the best team for him... He can play with CP3 finally, and be that second threat that they needed in the 4th this year.
