Re: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

By midseason Roy will be the scapegoat. "why was KP so stupid to give him the max contract?" "Damn you KP for overvaluing your players" "Now that Roy has his money he doesn't try" "Could we trade Roy for Foye again?" "Start Rudy"

Gaeta did what he thought was for the greater good for humanity and acted accordingly. He could easily have been a hero if things only worked out a bit differently.

Oh, and congrats to Roy. Yipee.

eSPN says 5 years 82 million? Fuck they should have negotiated longer. That is a lot of money.

I see this (usually "top-10") thrown around a lot, but I'm not convinced... Somewhat in order:

LeBron
Kobe
Wade
Garnett
Paul
---
Duncan
Howard
Yao (when healthy)
Nowitzki
Parker
Gasol
Bosh
DWilliams
Ginobili
Billups
Pierce
Nash
Shaq
Carmelo

I would say the top-5 are pretty well established, but there are at least 10 in that next group that are arguably all on Roy's level. Roy probably gets a "potential" edge when factoring in youth, but it's a stretch to say that he's undoubtedly at the top of that list already. Top-20 is a safe assertion... But once you get down to that low of a cutoff, you're talking basically best player on the team status.

I'd argue that Garnett and Duncan aren't the players they once were (top 20 probably, but not top 10). Also, if you peek ahead into the future, you got Wade, LeBron, Howard, Paul, Roy and possibly Durant, Williams, Granger as the "next generation" of NBA Super-duper stars.

The only player after the top 5 who is better then Roy (assuming he is healthy) is Duncan. I take Roy over any of those other guys and I don't look back. It's not even arguable in my mind.

EDIT: OMG somehow I missed that you had KG in top 5! No way he's top 10 when he is healthy but he is nowhere near the Top 5 guy he was 2 or 3 years ago. I thought you had Howard in your top 5. I actually think after Wade, LBJ, Kobe and Paul you could argue Roy is a top 5 player. I stand by Roy being top 7. PER in this case is pretty accurate.

Nice!

I hope Roy elevates his game to another level - $16m/per is pant load of money.
 
Re: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

You mean he hasn't signed it yet? That means it's not going to happen. KP doesn't know what he's doing, I want results faster damnit! Bring back trade Bob.
 
Re: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

This offseason gets better and better. Next up, LA.
 
Re: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

Roy is number 7, just like his number.

Besides Lebron, Kobe, Wade, James, Howard, and Duncan to me, no one other player brings all other intangibles. Scoring, leadership, clutchness, and defense. Though Roy isn't the best defender he's made strides to get better and tries on that end(unlike offensive juggernauts in Melo and Dirk). Only other player I see that brings most of those qualities is Garnett and his best years are behind him.

Bob would have signed both guys and picked up Hedo and Artest by now.

And Eddy Curry plus trade and extend McGrady for another 4 years.
 
Re: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

This is great news. Most of us realized this was a formality all along, it was just a matter of time.

Canzano suckered a few people in and got them to believe this was a serious issue. Luckily, those people should be able to sleep easy tonight.

lol... Give them a little bit and then we'll be freaking out of LMA.
 
Re: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

Why is Baldy getting the exclusive on this?

He is the only one saying there is an agreement.

Is there a leaker somewhere?

If you are Roy, or Roys agent...is Baldy the one you want to break the story?

If you are the Blazers, do you want Canzano breaking this story?

If you're the best Blazers, you want someone to leak it out asap. Going to your flagship radio station would make the most sense. It's very possible Wheels got the scoop, but passed it along to the BFT before someone else at another outlet could break the news.
 
Re: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

I think Quick broke the story first, and then crapzano said something about that it wasn't true and reports were false then a couple hours later he 'broke' the story and is now taking credit for it.

Not surprising for that ass-clown. How he gets so many people to buy in to the crap he says is beyond me. This Roy extension was proof that people think the same way he does.
 
Re: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

nowhere is it reported they have agreed to terms, only are close to a deal. so this thread title needs to be changed.
 
Re: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

No. Baldy says they have a verbal deal
 
Re: Roy agrees to terms with Blazers

Quick says nothing about there being an agreement on his blog.

Nor does Baldy. He only mentions it in his tweet, and apparently on his radio show.

Even the godfather, Dwight Jaynes has been quiet about this.

Watching a repeat of Courtside earlier it showed on the bottom that the Blazers have came to terms with Roy.
 
It ain't official 'til I see a press release!
 
I meant a press release from the team itself.
 
hopefully the team and lamarcus can agree on a deal soon

I know, but even for that, my statement is true.

I believe signing the contract makes it official. If he signed it tonight and the team doesn't announce it for a week, it was official tonight.
