You have an interesting definition of the word "hate."

Love people who take things literal in a sports forum makes for such a fun time

nobody hates BRoy....many didn't like the way he left after saying he had to medically retire or he wouldn't be able to walk with his kids...then he signed with the Wolves for 10 million....he turned down Paul Allen's job offer with the organization....he could've been an ambassador to Portland...he chose not to...I respect his choice but he was not the picture of loyalty in the end of his career by any stretch. Nostalgia has a shelf life

Exactly. I have no doubt Broy would have been the exact type to bail out of town as soon as he became an unrestricted free agent..

BRoy was a quality dude. Very down to earth. Homebody. Didn't like the limelight. Liked to lay low.

There are PLENTY of people in here who would be against LMA coming back, due to being offended by him leaving last time. Roy dominated here and played till his knees were just bone on bone pain, and went to MN for a paycheck. He doesn’t come back here. He is born and raised Seattle and loves it. If someone was born and raised Portland and played for the Mariners or Seahawks there’s a high probability they would take those millions and come back here. Portland fans take things personally and also fall in love with certain guys who show love to Portland.

Ehh... Kinda. But I wanted Aldridge traded long before he left us.

Sure. I actually understand that. I would want to lay pretty low also.
But there are questions right now about a future hall of fame player on the roster wearing a number that isn't retired. He either isn't paying attention at all or he doesn't want to respond.
The organization and the fan base is showing him respect by even talking about that number. Respect goes both ways. IMHO he should speak up.
