I thought he'd be great just adding simple things


but he's failed to do even that.

[CP1708]

^
Yes, thank you.

All of those rookie contracts will be coming up. Roy won't be playing for 5 million a year in 2010. Not to mention all those player options that year. That = PAYDAY


And before anyone tries to tell me that they could sign Lebron, Wade, Bosh, whoever, when was the last time a major star in his prime signed to play for theBlazers? Not Pip in his old self who was traded, or Damon who was traded, the last free agent star to sign here? I can't think of one. So why would anyof the 010 stars flock out here?

 

[koolbarbone]

You make good points CP but it's not like there aren't other role players who could fill in around Roy. Kevin Pritchard is one of the smartest GMs outthere (minus the Oden decision) so there's no reason why he couldn't fill in missing pieces when they have to start paying players. And, like theLakers, he has deep pockets behind him so it's not like they are going to lose the core of the team. Portland also has the advantage in terms of frontoffice and coach (assuming Jackson does not stick around) over LA in 5 years.

 

[eight2one]

I been seeing him dunk a lot more now.

 

[dman14]

thats what happens when you age twice as fast as the normal human

he'll be fine if he is healthy. no need to force him in there
