If he has peaked and he's a top 5 player what would you like to do with him? Trade him for one of 4 players who are better? I'm confused by this post? :crazy: So your not satisfied with Roy? Fans really need to take a step back to reality. We are a good team that is extremely young and going through growing pains without two key contributors. WE ARE 10-5!!!! Damn we are becoming spoiled fans........

He's not a top-five player.

He's arguably a top-ten player based on last year's performance.

In your opinion he's not........ In my opinion there isn't more than 5 players I would trade him for.
 
I don't think Roy has peaked. I think the NBA has figured him out and he needs to adjust his game. He needs to add some things to his repertoire.
 
we are 10-5? how many of those wins are against the worst in the league and how many against playoff teams?

That seems like a different thing, whom you'd trade him for. ;) Emotional attachments aren't part of how good a player is. In terms of on-court value, I'd say it's hard to place Roy ahead of any of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant or Dwight Howard.
 
Disclaimer: I'm one who has never felt Roy is top-10 in the NBA. I put him more in the 12-15 range.

However, I don't think Roy is one to get complacent now that he's signed his big contract. He's too competitive for that. But I do believe it has massively gone to his head and he needs a coach to sit him down, straighten him out, and get him to shut the hell up when it comes to personnel decisions and the media. Nate appears to be too buddy buddy with him for that to happen.

He has adjusted his game this season to accomodate Miller. Has the NBA already figured out this adjustment? If so, is it time for Roy to go back to his old style of play.

How has he adjusted his play? All he's doing is scaling it back and playing worse... An adjustment would imply improving in other areas to accommodate Miller's addition, rather than simply being less effective across the board.

last year he took 66% jump shots. this year(through the 19th) he's taken 78% jump shots.

and i disagree that an adjustment would imply improvement.

This. Thanks for answering, I was going to answer with the same stat. Repped.
 
Roy is an ISO player and has the option to shoot the J or drive to the hoop most every play. What % of his shots are J's has little to do with what role he is playing, rather with his decision making (and ball handling in traffic, which has been horrid this year).
 
And the stat is meaningless unless you break it down to %'s with and without Miller in the starting lineup.

His assists are basically the same as last year. He has the ball less.

What's your complaint?
 
Does he actually have the ball less or is he just initiating the offense less? The person that brings the ball up the court often does not make the pass that nets the assist.

The absurdity in this question is not if Roy has peaked, but the mention that the reason he may not get better is because of his "fat paycheck".

I mean really, there are players who are lazy and then there is everyone else. What has Brandon ever done to indicate that he is the type of player who would stop pushing himself to get better.

it shows that roy is playing differently than he did last season. he's taking more jumpers. last season he took the smallest % of jumpers of his career. this season so far is the highest % of jumpers he's taken in his career.

To some posters here, it means Roy is selfish for thinking he is a big key to the team winning games.

It's a lose-lose argument for Roy. Give up the ball, and still be called selfish, or dominate the ball, and be called selfish.

It's why I don't take anything seriously here. It's all entertainment at this point. I go to blazersedge for actual reasoned discussion.
