You're wrong. His baseline is 84 million over five years. That contract was signed with the expectation of 20+ points per night, 5 assists, and 4.5 boards. That contract was given to a perennial All-Star. Zero games, zero points, zero assists, and zero rebounds would be quite a disappointment in my book.
As one of the leading Roy bashers, it would have probably made more sensefor you to sit out this thread. Instead, you don't post anything positive. Kind of like MIXUM, IMO. Roy isn't finished, and he is still an asset.
Valid points, but isn't that a discussion for after the rest of this season? Trade deadline is past. Let's just sit back and see what Roy can give us. I'm hoping for 20 minutes a game of what he showed tonight.
I wish I could ignore you sometimes. I feel like we're forced to listen to you because we can't put you on ignore.
You started pissing in it. YOU are the wet blanket. YOU are the poster mitigating joy. YOU are the debbie downer. YOU.
It's not like this was an appreciation thread buddy. This was a thread aimed at calling out people who have had doubts about Brandon. The OP even went so far as to call us "dumb asses". I'm not pissing in a thread, I'm defending my point of view.
I think your hyperbole about Roy being finished, and that the Blazers should try to get rid of him or medically retire him, ridiculous as well. I can understand your defensiveness, though. I do find it strange that you, among others, can't even enjoy this win. Then again, you're the chump who wanted the Blazers to tank last season so you would be "right" about Nate being a bad coach.
This team needs a leader. Brandon is their leader even if LMA is their best player. Too many internet doctors jumped to conclusions they know nothing about. I know I don't. I am just saying "make sure" before dumping him. Edit: my dumb ass comment was not personal because I had no clue who believed what. I never take notes on who says what. I just know I was surprised when I read how quickly some of us wanted to get rid of him. You all may be right in the end....but again lets be sure before making a big mistake. And who said he could never play D?
Haha you're in a mood tonight. Why don't you go start another thread bashing Andre Miller? Oh, and I'd like you to find a post of mine where I said they should medically retire him? I absolutely think they should explore different avenues of trading him. The team needs to protect itself.
You don't deny mitigating joy or being a wet blanket and a debbie downer then? Because you are and we can't not read your posts. I CANNOT IGNORE YOU. Know the power you wield and be the better man.
I'm fine with Miller. I owned it on this board. He played well tonight, but struggled late in the game because I think he got tired.
Leading Roy basher my ass. All I've ever done is offer my real honest opinion about him ... an opinion founded on reasonable evidence. I'm happy he played well tonight, but I think the over the top hyperbole and the notion that somebody not being overly optimistic about his long term future makes them a "hater" is bullshit ... IMO.
