Re: According to Chris Broussard, Roy to announce medical retirement today! so they should blow it up now.... next summer we lose roy, oden camby and wallace.
Cap space was never really an option even with Roy amnestied; we were still going to be over the soft-cap.
Re: According to Chris Broussard, Roy to announce medical retirement today! So how does this work? Could we offer oden a large contract and still be umbrella under the amnesty? That can change everything

Re: According to Chris Broussard, Roy to announce medical retirement today! Amnesty is for contracts from the previous CBA, so Oden would not be eligible.
Re: According to Chris Broussard, Roy to announce medical retirement today! Today we lose Roy, though some might say that we "lost" Roy on his last surgery before the PHX series where they took out all of his meniscus. Potentially we lose Oden. We'll lose Camby at the trade deadline, probably. Wallace has a player option for almost 10M. If you think that a past-his-prime SF is getting more than 10M guaranteed a year, then yes, he's probably gone. Fortunately, he plays the same position as Batum. What does blowing it up now have to do with anything?
in respect to what Roy has done for this franchise and fans I negate my bet with Mags, have no interest in collecting. Great respect to Brandon to make what had to be incredibly hard decision in his prime. THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT MEMORIES!!!!
Re: According to Chris Broussard, Roy to announce medical retirement today! If it is true. Roy deserves a lot of respect for not trying to keep playing just to collect his $$$$.
Re: According to Chris Broussard, Roy to announce medical retirement today! unfortunately it's very believeable to those of us who consistently warned on how bad a bone on bone condition was. Rather see him do this then cripple himself and need a double knee replacment within 5 yrs or less.
Re: According to Chris Broussard, Roy to announce medical retirement today! plus a MILLION, max respect for Roy
Fuck. I can't work like this. This is devastating. They better honor #7 in some way on opening night.
Re: According to Chris Broussard, Roy to announce medical retirement today! Well, he gets paid no matter what, but I agree that it shows some class from him to think of how his performance would affect the success of the team. It would be awfully tough for a guy with Roy's competitiveness and past level of play to accept being nothing but a short-minutes, role-player after achieving all-star and all-NBA honors.
