Warriors Interested in Roy

[MickZagger]

biased much?

I've heard announcers and columnists say it many times.

 

[craigehlo]

But, when the team had no star and lost games - you literally could not give your tickets away.

So we have a star in LMA and a several fan favorites no named "Roy" (Batum, Crash and Camby).

I think the fallout of waiving Roy is totally overblown.

Bulls' dream (sources say) & Heat's nightmare is for Chi to get Brandon Roy after Blazers cut him w/amnesty clause....

Because that's what the Bulls need. A SG that demands to take the ball out of Rose's hands and isolate.

ABKB is their goal.

(Anybody but Keith Bogans)

In regards to tickets, I think fans have already, maybe because of Oden and increased expectations of the team, but fans already stay away a little. There were games I couldn't go to where I tried selling my tickets WELL below face value, and had nobody buying them. And on sites like Blazers, Stub hub, etc., there were many other tickets available also. The arena is filled up for Laker games, and Celtic games. Mainly because those teams' fans bought the scalped tickets being sold online. But I've seen a noticeable drop off in the ability to get anywhere near face value from friends or strangers in the last 3 years, and I imagine the lockout, KP, Cho, Roy "issues" will continue to increase that difficulty. Especially with a team not as, I dunno, hyped with high expectations? Yeah, they'll likely still sell out this season, because they go off of tickets sold. But huge chunks of those 300 level seats are bought up by scalpers,a nd I magine once they are struggling to profit on them, they won't come back.

They need a wing on their team other than rose who could create his own shot. Bogans, Korver, Deng can not do that.

LaMarcus is not a star. Sorry.

they are over the cap, they won't get Roy as he won't clear waivers

 

[craigehlo]

LaMarcus is not a star. Sorry.

Nationally no. Locally yes.

I think the Bulls are close to the cap.

 

[MickZagger]

My mommy says I'm special.

Easy to think of it that way. But, I think its the truth. This place is a great example of it.

 

[jlprk]

I want the Lakers to get him. That will be 2 years in a row we sabotage them with a guard. Why waste this Trojan Horse on the Warriors?

 

[Shooter]

I want the Lakers to get him.

Not beyond the realm of possibility. Kobe Bryant is, or was, a huge Roy fan.

 

[Rhal]

LaMarcus is not a star. Sorry.

Top 20 player, vocal point of the offense. Was considered one of the biggest All Star Snubs of all time, got quiet a bit of attention Media wise going into the playoffs as being the next great PF. LMA isn't a main stream staple yet but he is about as close to being a star without being one as you can get.

+100 on this, way overblown

 

[BBert]

Your short changing Blazer fans. Smartest fans in the league by far.

And Amerika is the only good country on earth, and only Amerikans have freedom, and our religion is the only true religion, and our shit don't stink either. Don't mind me, just having fun.

Dwight's right, but expecting this franchise to do the "smart" thing, when it has the three stooges (Larry, Bert and Nate) trying to fight over the "wheel," all while one hellacious back-seat driver (Allen) is shouting in their ear, stretches credulity.

PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS

Most likely amnesty cut: Brandon Roy

How likely to use amnesty this season? Slam dunk

Other amnesty candidate: Marcus Camby

Analysis: If there's a more interesting amnesty conundrum out there in 2011, show us. Because of Roy's stature in the organization and the community, it's hard to imagine Portland going through with letting him go. Rewind to his franchise-player flashes in Game 4 of the Dallas series and it gets even harder. The reality, though, is that Roy has deteriorating knees, more than $50 million guaranteed left on a cap-clogging contract that runs through 2014-15 and little else on last season's highlight reel apart from that Game 4 eruption.

The Blazers are publicly insisting that no decision has yet been made and that they haven't ruled out giving Roy one more season to try to regain something resembling his old form, but cutting ties with Roy -- expensive as it'll be -- looks like what both sides need to start fresh. Portland can't use the full mid-level exception and can't re-sign Oden without cutting ties first with Roy.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Ugh. Do the smart thing thing Blazers

 

[HailBlazers]

Ugh. Give us one more shot at Rising Together Blazers.

 

[cdub503]

is it possible to cut him and then resign him to a smaller contract? he's still going to get paid the other amount just not on the books right? i haven't been keeping up on the new cba and shit so i don't know if it covers this or not.

Nope. Not allowed.

 

[mgb]

Only in this one article have I heard we can't sign Oden if we don't use the amnesty on Roy. Is that true?

 

[RR7]

not true.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Is that true?

nope, but it will be expensive
