Brandon Roy going to Minnesota

[Fez Hammersticks]

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick
Brandon Roy has come to a verbal agreement with Minnesota according to a person in Roy's family

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

nice.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Roy/Webster/Batum?---they're getting the band back together! And in between Roy and Budinger and Webster and Batum and Wes Johnson and Derrick Williams I'm sure they can find 48 solid minutes a game from the 2 and 3.

What is it with Minny and Blazer players?

I guess if not Minny, Roy would go somewhere else, but the Wolves are really starting to bug me. One more reason for Batum to want to go to Minny . . .

Wonder if they will be talking to Oden next?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

KAAAAAHHHHHHNNNNNNN

 

[blue32]

sofa king bullshit.

 

[Rhal]

Thank god its not the lakers

 

[Further]

I'm happy with that

 

[e_blazer]

Minnesota Trail Wolves.

 

[e_blazer]

As soon as his new deal is signed, I'm going to have to change avatars. Until then, Roy's still a Blazer in my book.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I hope it works out for both of them

 

[e_blazer]

Hollinger:

If Roy deal is for >~$3M, Wolves would have to amnesty Manna From Heaven to give Batum his $11M/yr

 

[BBert]

Who the hell is 'manna from heaven'?

 

[e_blazer]

Darko. Kahn referred to him that way when they signed him.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Who the hell is 'manna from heaven'?

They will have to amnesty Darko and renounce Tolliver

 

[BrianFromWA]

Chris Webber 2.0....aka Darko.

2 years, $10 million.

How does someone who was medically retired because of a knee injury get a $5 million/per year contract !?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Hollinger guessed that they Wolves told Batum they wouldn't give him an official offer if they knew the Blazers were going to match...

And then after todays meeting, Brandon Roy is now a Wolf.

 

[BrianFromWA]

and Batum will make 6M a year.

 

[Mediocre Man]

So since Quick broke this, does it now mean we can bring him up without being called idiots for doing so?

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Still getting max money from Portland + $5m/per from Kahn, Roy is sitting pretty.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

signing with Minny? If Brandon Roy is "gaming the system", he's sure doing a piss poor job of it. He should have at least gone to Dallas.

 

[craigehlo]

I'd be shocked if he was able to play half their games this season. Bad, bad move for them.

 

[craigehlo]

mtokito: Just to clarify, whatever Roy gets from Minny, that amount comes off #Blazers obligation to him. He doesn't get both salaries.

No double dipping.

WTF thought he was allowed to double dip because he wasn't claimed off waivers, it doesn't work differently because he medically retired does it?

On the flip side, if he can even be half the player he once was, he and Love--and Rubio--are going to make one hell of a combo.

 

[RoyToy]

I want to know what kind of treatment Roy had done on his knees

It makes sense that players can't double dip. Otherwise you'd have a douche bag like Dwight Howard sign a max contract extension with Orlando, retire halfway through the season and then sign a year later with New Jersey for a 2nd max contract.

UGH!
