    If he can play that long I would be amazed, IF he could pull it off I would wonder how many years of pain free walking it cost him

    Seems unlikely... He makes money for signing a bigger deal with Minnesota, its the only thing that makes sense.

    Imagine if Meyers Leonard gives him a few hard fouls at the beginning of that game and Brandon is in the locker room icing his knees after halftime.

    Anybody else think this is a bit surreal? I can't believe . . .

    A. That Brandon Roy thinks he can play again.
    B. That he's going to lowly Minnesota.
    C. That the Timberwolves would actually sign him for $10 million

    Somebody tell me this is just a joke.

    Not looking forward to the home game against BRoy. It will be emotional. It will hard not to root for him. But i won't.

    He didn't medically retire -- never filed the paperwork -- Portland waived him with their amnesty provision.

    There you go - S&T Batum for Roy! If Roy can actually play (knees miraculously healed) then we win! Yes, I'm just distraught and hoping this is all a bad dream....

    Am I the only one holding out hope that Roy makes a successful comeback and returns to the Blazers in 2 years?

    Gotta be my favorite Blazer ever.

    Well you just woke me up from my dream. This nightmare is true! Are you also saying that Oden will not be playing for us next year too? What's next - - Hibbert comes to town and announces that his wife would prefer to live in a community with more Turks?

    Yes you are. Roy is now evil, and must be treated as such. Besides, he won't be back.

    Good Luck with the T-Pups Brandon.

    Except of course, when you play the Blazers, then I hope your team loses by 50.

    Thanks for not going to the Lakers.
