Should we shut roy down?

The 2010 version of Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy is a far cry from the 2008 and 2009 versions, and it's throwing Roy, his franchise and the Portland fanbase for a loop. Expectations have been re-calibrated, dreams have been deferred and apprehension has mounted.

With word coming from CBSSports.com's Ken Berger on Wednesday that all options are on the table for Roy -- including potentially shutting down his 2010-2011 NBA season before the All-Star break -- what's the right course of action here?

No.

No.

why not? if his knees are not getting better with the rest he's had may as well see if the rest of the season can help, this back and forth stuff is hard on everyone

I wouldn't mind if it helped him. But I am not sure how it can.

I think he was answering "Would you care?" not "Shut Roy down?"

I hate it when the post and the title ask two different questions.

I was answering the "would you care?" question. I don't like the back and forth stuff either. It really hurts the team, IMO.

I also agree with this. I have no medical experience so I don't know if there's anything that can help, whether its treating the problem or the symptoms. But him having to sit out a couple weeks every time his knee(s) get sore does not seem like a good idea at all.

I'd prefer it (shut down). Maybe he should go to Japan and get some weird buddihist therapy. more likely he'll just chill at home and play video games though.

Now my first post says the opposite of what I meant!

Yes shut him down. No I don't care. Our team has to learn to live without him forever, basically.
