    the only reason his knees are feelin better is that they were not being subjected to the pounding of playin in the NBA, he likely had some more PRP shots which help reduce pain/inflammation, but that does not grow cartilage and he is still bone on bone, give him a trainging camp and a month or two of NBA play and he's right back where he was IMO

    Will boo his ass if he shows up in the Rose Garden in a Lakers uniform. Otherwise, I wish him the best.

    That is true, but the team still needed to amnesty Roy in order to have access that extra cap space.

    The team amnestied Roy because they knew his ego couldn't allow him to accept his career is over. They amnestied him because they knew this would happen.

    Smart move.

    Roy should go play for the spurs. Pop knows how to limit minutes of stars while keeping them playing at a high level. I think he would also get along great with pop and the rest of the spurs.

    "So from what Roy is having done on his knee, there is not even a long-term study of how it affects a person's joints over the long run. In other words, Roy could easily play three or four more seasons ... and then later in his life find himself confined to a wheel chair. I know that sounds harsh, since it's speculative anyway without any real precedence, but maybe Roy loves the game of basketball enough that getting three or four more seasons out of his knee is worth risking his mobility in the later years of his life."

    Is it possible he had the Meniscus Replacement/Transplant Surgery and kept it on the DL? We haven't heard much from him since training camp. I'm just trying to understand why he would even try to come back. Remember when he retired he said that prior to last season he was working out over the summer and the "clicking noise" in his knee kept coming back? What has changed?

    My damaged hands would feel a lot better if I went a year without using a computer. They would be just as damaged, however. The missing pieces don't come back. There is currently no technology to change that, sadly.

    Is there no end to this? Will ANYTHING ever go right for this franchise?
