Brandon Roy will miss the next two games with soreness in his left knee. The knee has deteriorated to the point where Roy will struggle to reclaim his All-Star level of play.

“There’s no real hope of it improving,” one league source with direct knowledge of the medical prognosis told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday. “It’s just about trying to manage it now. He’s not going to be the franchise superstar that [Portland] thought he would be. This isn’t something they consider ‘fixable.’ ”

GM Rich Cho held internal discussions on whether they might include Roy in trade proposals, according to sources.

If someone would take him, for anything remotely reasonable, I think you make that deal.
 
I agree, but I don't think he will pass a physical anywhere.

I sure hope so. I also hope Cho has held internal discussions about every player on the roster in a similar manner.

How is this news? Such a vague sentence.
 
I wonder of Toronto or the Cavs would take a chance on him?

You would have to get a team that was willing to waive the physical because of Roy's talent. Ideally a team ready to compete for a title, stacked with youth at a possition, and that also needs a SG.

Well, just going off of teams I could see taking the risk(not saying I would move him), teams on the cusp, and willing to sacrifice, maybe San Antonio? Young talent in Splitter, Anderson, Hill. Orlando? Not sure I like enough of their young talent. Dallas? Beaubois and..... There's not too many teams I can see both on the cusp, willing to take the risk, and with any young talent. S.A., Dallas, and Orlando seem like the best bets. Dallas doesn't have the young talent, unless you just did Beaubois and picks, which blows. Unless they brought in a third team. S.A. could send Hill, Splitter, Anderson. Orlando? Gortat, Orton.

Roy being BYC makes all deals that much moer difficult.
 
Dallas is the obvious fit to me. It's the only team with:
a) a hope of contending
b) in need of some veteran calming influence
c) could use an extra SG
d) Mark Cuban's bank account (most importantly)

Maybe a deal where we get back Shawn Marion and filler could work. It'd add some depth to backup SF/PF, and clear out some of the contract. We'd be on the hook for Marion's 4 years, but at $7mil it's something you might be able to move.

I doubt it happens, though.

Jesus that's depressing.
 
No thanks to Marion. If we were to move Roy, for some reason, then I'd want Butler and his expiring contract. Don't want any other long term deals coming back.

Maybe you could make that work. I was shocked to look it up and see that Butler has a PER of 10 right now. Yuck. I haven't seen the Mavs much this year, so I don't know what his defense is like. But it doesn't seem like a big loss for Dallas to go that route.
 
Yeah, not that i actually want Butler the player. Just that if I were to actually consider moving Roy, I wouldn't want salary coming back.

Shawn Marion is not the deal we need to make.


What about something hypothetical like http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2dogmuz

Any deal with Dallas would have to be based on picks, Rodrigue Beaubois and crap.

If Roy really has been reduced to good role-player status, it salvages something going forward.

Hope it never gets to that...
 
How depressing is it to consider that Roy would probably be the perfect second fiddle to a high scoring Durant, thus saving his knees.

Sacramento trades Thompson for Dunleavy? I don't see why they do that.

They are looking to trade him, and Dunleavy is an expiring. Picks probably involved too. Just playing with thoughts is all
 
As gm of the Nba 2k11 version of the Blazers, i managed to trade Roy, Oden, and Camby for Yao, Aaron Brooks, Jared Jeffries, and Kyle Lowry, i then flipped Lowry and Rudy for The Bobcats next two first round draft picks and the expiring deals of Kwame and Nazr Mohammend. The roster sits at

Brook/Armon/Patty
Matthews/Armon/Elliot
Batum/Babbit/Jeffries
LMA/Dante/Kwame
Yao/Pryz/Nazr/Marks

Obviously not a great team, but it gets us some pieces and lottory picks to rebuild with.

Lol i then flipped all of the draft picks along with Batum for the number one pick, Harrison Barnes.

Hmm...chronic knee problems, signed to the max, 4 years left? I doubt we'd get much more than expiring contracts. And really, that may not do us much good, because top free agents don't want to come here anyway. If the NBA tightens down on the cap, it may help us re-sign some guys.
 
Maybe they can get 4 3rd round picks for Brandon!
 
Adrian Woj wrote the article. The guy has an agenda and I'm not sure I'd trust him very much.

Now, I would assume internal discussions doesn't mean very much. In fact, I would speculate (and hope) all GM's have discussions and trade proposals regarding their star players. It's just how the business works.

Doesn't mean it'll ever to come to that but it doesn't hurt to get prepared for the worst.

Now, assuming the worst does happen, we couldn't get Roy for very much if, as Woj claims, "league sources" seem to have in-depth knowledge on his knees. And as mentioned, his contract is an issue as well.

I can't see Roy getting traded...or at least for anything besides a first round pick and an out of his prime starter.
