    Honestly I'm not a huge fan if Roy either. So glad we have dame, he is a better face of the franchise. Definitely more personable.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Wow. I really liked Roy, I thought he was an incredible player to watch and a great face of the franchise. I still feel bad that we never got to see a healthy Roy and Oden play together.

    I would have killed for a healthy Roy-Lillard back court. Yes I know we would not have been in position for Damian with a healthy
    BRoy, but damn they would be fun to watch together.

    Unstoppable, best backcourt in the nba. Definitely championship contenders, probably favorites in west if we replace Wes with a healthy/in his prime BRoy.

    That backcourt would be the worst defensive backcourt in the history of basketball existence

    KP himself said in an interview several years ago that he knew

    Can you imagine Roy having to put up with Felton? That would have been hilarious. He would have strangled Felton.

    I don't think it would. I think dame will be a good defender. His improvement or lack of it this offseason will tell us a lot.

    Dame and Roy are polar opposites as players. Roy is an ISO guy who held the ball for 20 seconds and Lillard is a guy who needs a flowing offense to thrive.

    He didn't in college.

    A different coach, different offense.... the dude would have adapted. Add a couple of guys spreading the floor and he and Lillard would have lots of room to work their magic.......

    Roy was a great SF playing guard. Lillard is a tiny gnat who shoots long as well as Roy and that's it.

    Unlike some of you, I blame both.
