[h1]Brandon Roy to Blazers: "I've done everything I can."[/h1] [h3]by John Canzano, The Oregonian[/h3]
[h3]Friday July 10, 2009, 2:25 PM[/h3]

Brandon Roy told KJR radio in Seattle today that he's frustrated and disappointed with the Trail Blazers handling of his contract extension negotiations. He talked a lot about the hard work he's put in, and all he's done to make his dreams come true, and about being patient as he watches the good days and bad days come down the pipeline.

He wants to get a deal done and is confused as the rest of us as to why the left brainers in the organization are standing in the way.

I wrote about the Vulcan influence we're seeing on the Blazers operating procedure in today's column. I have the interview and will replay a portion of Roy's interview today on the Bald-Faced Truth radio show at 3:05 p.m. and we will discuss, but here's a couple of quotes from Roy.

On watching the negotiations: "I sit back and think about all the hard work I've put into my dream... excited about the opportunity to provide for my family. I go in... knowing that I've come into the league and I've done everything I can do to get a max contract."

On how he feels about the negotiations: "It's 50-50 right now... I'd love for something to get done so I can move forward and meet free agents..."

On whether he was involved in the Hedo Turkoglu recruitment: "Not playing much of any role. It's hard for me to go out and recruit Hedo for five years when I have only one year on my deal."

Well played by Roy's camp. It's absurd that the organization is misplaying this negotiation so badly. Sign the guy already.

If Roy walks, Pritchard is working himself to getting on of these:

I'm really not worried about Roy leaving Portland. The only thing is that the Blazers are hurting themselves by not locking him down ASAP. Thelonger they wait, the more money Roy is gonna get.

Bring Roy home and move the Blazers to Seattle with new management

I want Roy to leave. I don't care much for Portland and it seems that they don't care much for Roy and seeing him somewhere else would make me happy.Ever since T-mac's been spending more time in rehab than Amy Winehouse; Roy, KD, and D12 are my 3 fav players.

This Portland F.O. is a ridiculous

if Roy forces a trade/leaves when his contract is up.....

 

[i nasmatic i]

Do it Heisley, Wallace someone

 

[franchise3]

According to The Knicks Blog, Sixers offered Andre Miller a 1 year 6M deal, which he took as a slap in the face

Good luck getting the 10M a year deal you want though.

I'm a moron, we took Tyrus instead...coulda had Roy.......oh god, I forgot that...or suppressed it I guess.

 

[antbanks81]

Arstyle, lets not even get started on all the players we have passed on. I only wish this were the case.

 

[dlo13]

At least your team didn't pass on Roy for Shelden Williams...

Philly offered a 1 year deal to Bibby, too. So either they think Jrue will be ready real quick or...

We'll see, but doesn't Utah want to keep him more then Boozer? If thats true they'll be pushing a lot for him. I think someone will take Boozer sothey can match Portlands offer

Yeah he'd be wasting his talent more than KG did.

that's what I thought, that Boozer was expendable because they are confident in Milsap. Imagine if they lose both Boozer & Milsap though
