    God I hope there aren't any idiots who decide to boo the poor guy. There are all kinds of idiots in this world though, so you never know.

    We should sign him if he's ready to play next season.

    I wouldn't boo him if I was there. I'm upset that things didn't turn out as we all hoped, but meh....whats done is done.

    I wonder why he's in Portland though?

    I would try to recruit him back in a heartbeat. This time around the expectations would be very low. Plus I'd rather he fail again with us than succeed, even a little bit, elsewhere. And finally: He owes me. :)

    Although I doubt he would want to come back, maybe Olshey brings a new "vibe" and sense to things, and could be enough of a difference that he'd consider re-signing.

    Does anyone know if the team is allowed to re-sign him/talk to him? I don't remember how his contract ended. Did it end, and he's a UFA?

    If he was willing to sign a 1 year deal, with a team option for a 2nd, I'd do it. I don't think he would, nor do I think the team would, but cheap enough it could end up being worth the effort.

    and I heard that there is a little known clause in the amnesty ruling that would permit us to now resign Roy since he's played under contract for another team....:MARIS61:

    Started with light booing, then mostly applause. Glad he came back.

    I'm curious as to why he's back. If he did want to sign with us, I'd bring him back in a heartbeat. Part of me thinks he still owes us.

    Maybe Paul Allen, Greg Oden and Neil Olshey are texting each other?

    agreed, or at least some humility about accepting of blame.

    it still sounds like he blames the organization for far more of the issue than he accepts the blame. I think that would go a LONG way to healing things. Look at Bill Walton, he admitted (35+ years later) that he was as much to blame, if not more, for how he acted than the amount of personal blame he admitted to back when it happened.

    yeah, but why did he pick Portland? Memphis doesn't play in Indiana, or Ohio, or any other city closer to where he lives now?

    I think he is sitting in the.Nike basketball seats and had some nice.arm candy. Either might be the reason or to talk with Olshey.

    I do not think he owes us, but I would like to see a better ending to his story with us.
