    Timberwolves fans have been eating his quotes up about him being all healthy now

    They'll learn soon enough this is just classic BRoy talk

    I had no idea stem-cell's could regenerate entirely new limbs.

    Interesting.

    As a Blazer fan, you can't help wonder if this wasn't some gigantic elaborate rouse by Roy and his people to get out of Portland. Yes, his knees were shot, but were they THAT shot? If he plays at Minny 30+ mins a night and averages 15-20/5/5 night in and night out, how pissed off will you be? I know that I will be absolutely fucking furious.

    Why exactly would he want to get out of Portland. He owned this town. I'm sure Roy had this elaborate scheme to get out of Portland so he can go to Minnesota of all places.

    Can you make me one of those cool tin foil hats?

    Nate-ball. Batum too. Olshey even alluded to it that they had gotten rid of things that Batum didn't want in Portland.

    Roy loved Nate-ball

    Look, Roy is going to break down mid-season seeing as how he has no meniscus in either knee. It's inevitable, sadly.

    Exactly. Roy was sick of the bullshit, knew he was never going to win here and satisfy the fans/media with knees that he would have to take off 1 every 3 games on, so he decided to ditch. On one hand, don't blame him, but on the other, fuck him. If he plays like Roy of Old in Minny, even every other game, the level of betrayal will be off the charts.

    Boo fuckin hoo to Batum. He doesn't have enough clout in this league to be worried about who teams are putting around him.

    So Roy said his knees were shot, cried publicly about and shut it down just so he could play elsewhere? I'm not buying it whatsoever. If he wanted out he could have demanded a trade. Instead he went to phony Dr's that said if he kept playing he'd be in a wheelchair by 40?

    Lets get real here.

    Every legitimate doctor has said with his condition he should retire. You don't overcome having no meniscus in either knee.

    With his contract and injury history, a trade is pretty unrealistic. No one was going to take on that contract.

    But, yeah if you remember he seemed UPSET that the Blazers were going to consider amnestying him before the doctor's opinion.

    Doesn't Blair have the same problem, yet not had injury problems in the NBA?
