Highkin: Brandon Roy repping Blazers at lottery

[illmatic99]

Came from left field.

Broy haters left in shambles.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Fuck that guy and fuck this team.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Fuck that guy and fuck this team.

But not if we win, right?

 

[illmatic99]

Kinda wild choice tho. He has been to maybe one game in Moda in 10 yrs. Thought he wanted to disconnect from the team.

 

[Mediocre Man]

But not if we win, right?

If we win, it won’t be from Mr. Timberwolf

 

[illmatic99]

Fuck that guy and fuck this team.

Case in point.

 

[Portland2014]

Totally unexpected, so happy to see Brandon representing our colors again

He has no problem going since it’s not in Portland. Just taking the teams money.

[SharpesTriumph]

Awesome!

 

[noknobs]

Fuck that guy and fuck this team.

Jesus, get over it already.

Not Brandons fault that David Kahn was a shit GM or tried to screw over the Blazers, or that the NBA had stupid insurance rules. Brandon was delusion about his ability to play basketball when his time was up, as is the case for nearly every pro athlete.

So Brandon is at fault that the Blazers have shitty insurance coverage?

Well considering everybody involved at a high level with the team when he was here is gone or died it would be odd for him to still hold a grudge.

 

[Shaboid]

Probably the easiest way to build back a little goodwill with the fans in the event he ever wanted to be involved in any sort of way in the future. Low stakes and he brings a little juju after drafting a #1 before.. Or maybe he used all of his good luck already.

 

[andalusian]

Love me some Mr. Brandon Roy. I do not rub shoulders with top athletes and can not offer anything but anecdotal evidence, but of those I had the chance to meet - he was by far the nicest.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Fuck that guy and fuck this team.

Why are you here then?

 

[Propagandist]

This sucks. The end draws nigh.

Not certain how their season ended but appears Roy was head coach at Garfield high school this last year. He sounds happy to be involved with his kids. Had an Achilles injury and back surgery to recover from the year prior. Looks a bit heavier in photos but glad to hear he seems to be doing great.

 

[Phatguysrule]

I love it.
I loved Roy when he was here and I don't care that he thought he could keep playing and wanted to give it a shot.

I don't care that it cost Paul Allen millions.

I hope this means he'll be coming into the fold.

 

[tykendo]

Fantastic! The Natural hopefully brings us another generational talent. Go B Roy.

They should offer him more to be around more.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Agreed. It didn't hit the Blazers salary cap, it was only Paul Allen wallet. His wallet and trusts are fine. The insurance company got the cash instead, maybe they ultimately used it better? Maybe not, who knows.

I don't understand how some fans can be mad over a decade later that money went back and forth between Paul Allen and insurance companies.

Special

This.... I feel like people forget these dudes while highly paid are still humans, and im sure basketball was/is his life and didnt want to give it up until he fully realized.... i hold no grudge against him.... plus when i met him with HCP he said i had nice shoes and i shall never forget that.... thanks again HCP!

 

[B-Roy]

lol

 

[Propagandist]

The continuance of the BRoy Curse.

The continuance of the BRoy Curse.

What curse. Dude was amazing. His knees had a timeline. But it sure was fun to watch him being a huge part of the Blazers Revival after the awful JailBlazers Era.

 

[Predator]

Feel like our odds to get the 7th pick just somehow increased.

 

[barfo]

This is good news. There is a possibility that the Blazers could accidentally select someone who isn't career-ending injury-prone, and Roy can surely help weed out anyone who is too healthy to be a Blazer.
