Who knows. Doctors told him that if he kept playing he wouldn't be able to walk when he's older. I'm guessing you'll have a few good games out of him, and a lot of games where he's really limited. You could really see it here and it was sometimes painful to watch.
 
Serious question for all of you Blazer fans. What do you honestly think Roy's got left in the tank? As a fan of the Wolves I'm good with the signing, and I think it's worth a shot. I'm just looking for a little perspective.

My gut says not a lot, but if the injections worked well, then who knows?
 
I thought I read that he had some sort of procedure done overseas that supposidly is going to help. Not sure where I read it, but I wonder if he's had something done that isn't fda approved here. Idk, if it would even help him as bad as his knees sound, but I guess it's his health, he can do what he wants with it. My guess is he'll do alright in spots for us, and likely be a very young recipiant of knee transplants. Fortunately for him, he'll have the money to pay for some pretty nice bionic knees.

The procedure is supposed to help more with the pain than anything. He's not magically regrowing cartiledge or a meniscus.
 
I believe in magic john.

in a young girl's heart?

How the music can free her, whenever it starts

And it's magic, if the music is groovy

It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie

I'll tell you about the magic and it'll free your soul

But it's like tryin' to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll
 
5 mill is not really eating up cap space. I believe the Wolves have an option for the second year, so it's not a cap destroyer. It's low risk/high reward for the Wolves.

I think it's a good thing that he signed with a division rival. Now he can flop on their roster and eat up their cap space.

12 MPG unless you want him crippled by the end of the season.
 
Brandon Roy says he's pain-free and says the last time he played pain-free, was before his junior season at Washington.

Oh man, lol. This is classic BRoy

His last year coming into the season he said it was the best his knees felt in years.

He loves playing the media game.

This. He is pain free for the first time since...he started playing a lot of basketball. The treatment makes his knees feel better. Playing basketball will make them feel worse.
 
Reading a T-Wolves forum it's funny that they're buying the Roy is pain-free talk for the first time since college as if it means anything

roy just bent over kahn and fucked his asshole until 10 million dollars came out
 
He'll be the exact same player he was his last year for us. A spot up jump shooter who hits 40% of his FGs and has very limited mobility. He might have a few big games, but I think his comback attempt is pathetic. He can't change the fact that he has no meniscus. Take your money, take your pain free knees and do something else with your life.
 
Remember last December when Iasaiah Thomas was claiming that Roy was in amazing shape and that the Blazers shouldn't amnesty him. Then like 4 days later Roy is retiring.

Roy himself said his knees felt great and he was planning on playing right away up until a couple days before he retired.

You will get a game out of him that will make you think he's back, baby, back! Then six games of basically nothing, then a week on the inactive list, then another game of "WOO BABY!" It's going to be frustrating for you if you care much about the money spent or have an emotional attachment to him. It was just gutting for a lot of us in 2010-11.

He was never a good defender. His last active year, he was literally worse than playing with 4 players on defense. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE could beat him on the dribble, and players went at him constantly in a post situation, which he couldn't handle at all. His amazing dribble moves on offense became a wince-inducing stumble straight at the basket with a scream of "and one!" every time, but never getting it. At this point, Jarryd Bayless would give you more in that vein with better speed and a little actual defense.

Hope for nothing, for that's exactly what you'll get.

Yea then he saw his doctor and was told if he continued playing he wouldn't be able to walk without a Cain in his 40s.

Apparently he decided that walking with a cane at 40 won't be so bad.
 
I wouldn't walk with Herman Cain at any age.

Seriously ... agree with Blazer Caravan. I said before that if I stayed off computers for a year my hands would stop hurting. But as soon as I started, they'd hurt again. Because the damage can't be fixed. Same with Roy. Obviously a year's rest helped. But also remember he's a year out of NBA conditioning. There will be days when adrenaline takes over, like in the magical Game 4 vs. Dallas. Personally I wish BRoy well. As long as he's not playing Portland. But his knees have been studied a LOT and it's not just one medical opinion. I just don't think he's got a lot left.

As long as he's Abel to shuffle along, I guess it's okay.
 
Brandon Roy expects to start - WTF?!?!?!
"You know me, I wouldn't be going back out there if I wasn't ready to play at a high level," Roy said. The comeback attempt's key ingredient, it seems, was a blood drawing and spinning procedure that Roy underwent in Los Angeles.

"It's something where they draw my blood, they spin it, they pull some different things out of it [and] they inject it right back into the joint," he explained. "It was five shots. It was on each of my knees. Ever since then, it feels great. I was smiling going in there to get the next one and I don't really like getting shots. I was so excited about how I was feeling, it was like the first day of school for me."

Roy said that he met with Timberwolves executives and coach Rick Adelman for hours in advance of his decision to sign with Minnesota. While his role wasn't in great detail, Roy said he was approaching the season like he would any other during his career and he didn't sound like he has any intention of being a bit player.

"I didn't make any demands or ask a question about starting," he said of his meeting with Adelman. "I just always feel it's going to be hard to keep me out of the starting lineup. That's just my mentality as a player and how I feel right now."
