BRoy plans to return to the court this season to give it another go...

[BigGameDamian]

Brandon Roy has been working out hard for the last two weeks and his right knee has shown improvement.

Roy plans to ask Rick Adelman this week if he can return to the court.

Roy, still just 28 years old, has played in just five games and is drawing a $5 million salary.

I really don't understand why he would do this the TWolves are already out of the playoff hunt. Whats he trying to prove?

 

[Denny Crane]

That he's worth a $5M risk next season?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

April fools

Now that Minny is out of the playoff picture, I hope Roy plays well.

I can't see how Minny will pick up his option no matter how he does . . . but with Kahn, you never know.

If he does come back and he plays well I'm sure there are teams out there who will take that risk. I would bet one of those teams would be the Bobcats.

no one will take the risk. Guy played 5 games, and spent the last what, 4 months trying to get better. Only one team was stupid enough to take a flier on him, and that's Minnesota. There isn't another team that stupid.

I really hope this is an April Fool's thread.

It's called "Love of the game."

I love candy bars and beer but even I recognize I should back off them for my health.

Yet I bet you still dream about candy bars and beer, and if your health got better, you may even try them again. Especially if you were being paid to eat them, but couldn't because of your health.

 

[handiman]

It's called denial, just like how he treats his teammates on offense.

I disagree, say he comes back for the last 10 games and plays really well. It might only be 10 games but there will be a few teams that will say "What if" and he'll get that next contract.

No way in heck. The guy had to retire because of a bad knee that was bone on bone (on both knees), his "big comeback" was 5 games. No team is going to take a risk on him even if he had 10 strong games. His knees just won't hold up. There is no proof they can, or will.

Roy has enough money to start a 10 game basketball league.

And nothing is stoppinf Roy from having a candy bar at home... occasionally. Maybe with his kid in the driveway. But right now Roy wants to eat too many candy bars and drink too much beer EVERY DAY. He wants the old lifestyle that is crippling him. Yeah, if you get paid to do it, the temptation is there, but if I've already made a lotto's worth of money, I can eat more kale than candy and keep my health.

dude, I would totally sign up for that. As long as it was half court I mean.

And still not play

He averaged almost 5 apg in his prime.

Lame post.

He hasn't had a beer or a candy bar for months. Maybe he feels guilty about his health not being up to the level of eating beer and candy that he is paid for this year?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Well there is such a little amount of true stars and so many desperate teams. Someone will take the chance. Hell Cleavland is trying to sign Oden.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This whole thing was an April Fool's joke, right?

I love this metaphor.

On bail-out passes at the end of the shot clock, mostly.

Brandon Roy is traveling with the Minnesota Timberwolves and still hopes to play at least one game this season.
BRoy just can't call it quits?

He would prefer to play at home against either the Phoenix Suns (April 13) or Utah Jazz (April 15). Roy has missed most of the season with knee issues.

"As for next season, apparently his contract with the Timberwolves is written in a way that he's not completely clear if he still will belong to Minnesota," writes Ric Bucher. "His agent and the players union, he said, will examine the language of it to determine whether he has the ability to be a free agent."

 

[Mediocre Man]

Good for him, hopefully that will keep us from retiring his number

 

[BigGameDamian]

Who said anything about retiring his number? That's ridiculous, If your going to retire Roys number why not retire Damon Stoudamires number as well?

Because DS sucked ass?

Go Blazers

This is what caught my eye. Kahn has no one on staff that can write up a non-guaranteed contract? They could've pulled Webster's from the safe and just changed the name and couple of numbers around.

Nevermind.

How funny would it be if the 2nd year is guaranteed.
