Brandon Roy is the worst starter in the NBA

[BlazerWookee]

Will that magically make his athleticism come back?

No, but it'll make what's left of his career last a few weeks longer.

Well, he certainly is at this point. He's going to have surgery again and will be out a month.

Was he intended to be the starter though? I thought he was to be a back up. But because of injury, he had to start

 

[HailBlazers]

Yea hopefully the Wolves learned the lesson we all knew, despite what Roy says, restrict his damn minutes.

Roy said the reason he signed with Minnesota is they put no restriction on his role or minutes and would let him earn a starting spot. Other teams wanted Roy to come in as a limited minute backup.

If it isn't a team option, Minny management should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

Perhaps we should give them a Portland parade in their honor!

I remember reading a report when he was signed the the first year was $5.4 million guaranteed, but the second year was not guaranteed. However, hoopshype.com lists his salary as $5,100,000 this season and $5,329,500 next - with both years guaranteed. Anyone know if that's accurate? If it is, Kahn is a bigger idiot that I previously suspected.

I like to look on the bright side for Brandon: At least he gets to enjoy the lovely Minnesota winter.

Storyteller's site says:

2013-14 is currently guaranteed but might become non-guaranteed if certain health issues arise. Signed 7/31/12 for an assumed $10,429,500 for 2 years

Go Blazers

Storyteller's site says:

Where in the CBA is there an injury clause to void a contract signed after summer 2011? I'd be interested to know how that happened. Roy never medically retired, and he signed a UFA contract as a "healthy" player. It is either guaranteed or has an option 'out' in 2013-14, right? Unless Storyteller is counting on Kahn trying to whine his way into blaming Portland for another stupid contract. God that guy is pure comedic gold.

Brandon Roy has new setback

People, people! Roy was hired by Allen to purposely screw up Minny.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Roy = Trojan Horse. Suck it bitches!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Aside from the small amount of pleasure I take from seeing this hurt Minnesota, I'm really disheartened to see Roy go out like this. Credit I guess for at least trying to come back.

4-1 with roy, 3-14 with rubio

clearly roys injury torpedoed their playoff chances
