Report: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

I agree, as long as it's the right deal.

There is no point to overpay for a guy who will be a RFA next summer. If we can get him for a 5 year, $60M deal, then absolutely.

Re: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

LOL you have Shaq at the same level as Roy?! Funny.

 

What fuckin planet is that guy living on? What a fuckin joke.

 

Going back to the debate about where Roy is among the elite players in this league, I think you have to give guards the edge. They are the only guys who can create for themselves and teammates without needing to be set up by a teammate. Howard, Duncan, Shaq ... all elite players, but they would be obstacles on the offensive side of the floor if guards didn't dump the ball down to them.

That's why I think you see the Kobes, Lebrons, D-Wades, etc., get the play as the best in the league. And I think you'd have to put Roy in that category when you think about ability to score off the dribble, hit the outside shot, set up his teammates, and be absolutely clutch. I think Roy is top 10 in the league right now. No doubt in my mind. If he's able to add a defensive pedigree this season, he immediately jumps into top 5.

 

And if the team doesn't have the best record in the league on Dec 1st, or whatever arbitrary date he selects, he will crucify them. Even when he is patting the team on the back, he is openly looking for a place to shove the knife.

 

Re: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

Anyone who says this can go fuck themselves and find another team to root for.

Like the Grizzlies.

And, Chad, "in principal?" Really?

Edit: wait, is it supposed to be "agreement in principle" or "agreement in principal?" I'm getting confused here.

 

Principle.
