Meh. Roy was great for what he was. But he came off as a prick. Especially with Andre Miller. He played no defense and was a ball hog.
Eh, that whole Andre Miller thing was overblown by attention whores like Jason Quick. It wasn't like Roy went up and outright stated something like "Miller shouldn't be on the team". Instead, it was during a conference interview setting where he responded to a question about the team being inconsistent/slower than usual, he responded he felt slower because they put a "kind of slow" player next to him (obviously referring to tempo and not how fast one is athletically) and thus, the team rhythm wasn't in sync - which is a straight up observation, if worded a bit poorly. Otherwise, he apologized for his comments in front of teammates a day or two later - which the players didn't even know what he was talking about. And honestly, Miller - as stalwart as he was - was an extremely bad fit next to a player like Roy. Great oops, iron man athlete, and a few memorable games but he was a PG with tunnel vision that couldn't shoot or play much defense. I think because he was, at the time, PDX's best PG since Strickland and the Blazers replaced him for Felton, us Blazer fans tend to romanticize him. Plus, fans need to not have unrealistic expectations for people lol. Years from now, some of you guys will be bitterly posting about Lillard complaining about social media and All-Star games. Like, get over it, sometimes players say the wrong thing after being frustrated. It's not like Dame or Roy were doing what Kawhi did by not speaking to the team for a whole year or MJ sucker punching teammates.
