I think we all know that BRoy can score but if he's the only one scoring and the ball movement is non existent what to do? Team doesn't improve and we continue to lose. Sure I think we all saw with his absense that the ball movement increased and the cutting was better but this puts the management in a strange spot.. they've just spent 90 million maxing a sixth man!?! Don't know how that will go over bad knees or not.... Is there an easy way out of this? I'd say the Blazers have run into the perfect storm. A once in a decade center on ice, maybe to never play again, a franchise 2 that has no meniscus in either knee and a coach that can't draw up an effective play for either player if they were healthy! Hmmm.... not sure where to go here! A complete tear down may be the only thing that makes real long term sense. Not sure patch work can make it any longer. I'd build around Mathews, LA and Batum and the rest can go fish.....
The last time the CBA was ratified, each team was able to void the contract of one player and have it fall off their cap. The team that waived the player was still on the hook for his salary until another team picked up that players, and they still had the pay the difference between the new salary and old one. The Blazers got Derek Anderson off the books with that one-time provision. If NBA teams get this again when they ratify the next CBA, Roy needs to get bought out. He's got a good chance of being picked up by another team for a big paycheck as well.
