Come on now, it's all normal. There is nothing to read into the Blazers first All-NBA player in 16 years commenting in public about his frustration and disappointmet with the negotiating process. Put me on IGNORE!!
I'm not right. I just have an opinion. I hope I'm wrong on all of this, but the clock keeps ticking. I'm sorry if being confronted with facts makes you so angry you have to ignore the person who brings you those facts. Perhaps I need to be less blunt. The PMs I receive makes me defensive, as do posts that are prefaced with how the poster has already "ignored" me.
Best case: Roy comes out and says they've agreed to terms a long time ago, and were just pulling our strings. Haha...right?
Roy is a cripple working with one knee who can't last five years, or six, but only five, or four. Haven't you heard the news?
I guess I'm referring to myself. When I get worked up about things, it causes stress, which has been documented to shorten ones life. I'm glad you won't lose that time off your life. I'm sorry you thought my post was weird.
I wish that happened, but it looks like this thing is going to get strung out a few more weeks. Oh well, when we're title contenders in a couple years, I'll probably have forgot that it took a month to negotiate Roy's extension.
Why be sorry? I make my own weird posts at times. I wouldn't say they are fueled by stress, however. Roy not having an extension in principle 13 days into the period is actually news to me, and I didn't expect it. Did anyone expect it?
My buddy and I were talking about this in June and I assumed it would go into August. I personally thought it wouldn't even be discussed much until the FA stuff was taken care of. Knowing that they began talks right away, I'm a little surprised it's taken this long. I'm also surprised we haven't signed a FA yet. I have a good feeling we'll get a solid player from out cap space and that Roy will be extended. I've never been so confident that LMA will get his extension, but I hope I'm wrong there.
Yeah, I was wondering about that already today as it pertains to a Millsap signing. http://sportstwo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144028
I think he meant he was never very confident of LMA getting extended, but he hopes that he's wrong, and LMA does get extended.
No, I do. I'm not confident he'll get one this summer. I hope I'm wrong about him NOT getting one this summer.
You might be right. His agent might be making them a package deal and using this Roy outrage as his leverage. It would be a very wise move on his part.
