Is Roy still on our payroll?

[BlazerCaravan]

Quick question - basketball-reference.com has Roy on our salary listing for 2014-15 at 19mil. Is that right? Is he affecting our cap space in any way this year/next year?

 

[PDXFonz]

The decision comes with major financial impacts. Roy will receive the balance of the $63 million guaranteed to him on a mini-Max extension signed in 2009. Roy's $15 million salary for 2011-2012 will be removed from Portland's salary cap and its luxury tax bill. His future salaries will also no longer count against Portland's cap figure or luxury tax. He was on the books through 2014-2015.

I think we are technically still paying him but it doesn't affect our current situation. However, could it make PA less likely to open the wallet next year? I assume his remaining balance will be paid by the end of this year though.

He is not affecting our cap space since he was amnestied.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Fuck Roy. Him signing with Minnesota will always anger me

Per the terms of the new CBA, on a one-time basis during the course of the new collective bargaining agreement, each team will be permitted to waive one player currently under contract and have his salary not count for cap and tax purposes. The team must still pay the waived player.

Thanks! I repped everyone I was allowed to.

It my not affect the Blazers cap space but it still affects PA's wallet.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If we're going to pay him we should play him.

My looming question about Roy is why hasn't he attended 1 Blazer game since he's retired? With all Portland did for him, he's been curiously absent from showing any support to the team that he was a big part of. I know he can afford good seats

I don't blame him for it; it's gotta be painful not bring able to do what you love... Even if you're rich. He might not want the publicity.

I disagree, Sheed left his championship Pistons for Boston and every year returned to the Palace to show support for his teammates even though he retired. Led to a coaching position for one season but that's still showing support for those who supported you. The Moda Center would show nothing but love for BRoy if he attended a homegame and yeah, he can't play anymore but he's gotta still love the game.

He's only 30 years old. It wouldn't surprise me if he did come back to the NBA as a coach or an announcer someday.

I remember that game. He got one hell of a standing ovation!

 

[andalusian]

Why?

He took cap space from a division rival and gave them nada in return. Seems like a perfect thing to do for a Portland lover.

 

[TehChad]

I wonder what Roy is up to these days? Just partying with all his money or ???

 

[riverman]

My bad, I thought he was still a Timberwolf when he came to that game. I think if BRoy showed Blazer allegiance it would help his cause for jersey retirement. I see now that it was a Bucks game. Thanks for correcting me.

f you wanna support the traitor, go ahead. He took money knowing his knees were ready to fall off. Fuck him

He's never been a party guy. He's a family man

Nice story but not true. Roy parties, he's just careful.

Really?!?! Well the wool was pulled over my eyes then! I guess my homer goggles had amped up the blinders

I'm sorry but if you hate Roy you are not a real blazer fan, you're an asshole.

Wait, I'm confused. Can I like Roy and still be an asshole?

Asking for HCP.

 

[BrianFromWA]

if you were really asking for HCP, you'd ask if you can wash his car and still be an asshole.

Shhhhh... Not everyone knows I'm the biggest asshole in this forum.
