Brandon Roy Narrows Team List To 5-Teams

[Hernando]

Brandon Roy has narrowed his free-agent list to the Pacers, T-Wolves, Bulls, Mavericks & Warriors, confirmed thru multiple sources.

It would seem ideal for him to go to a championship-contender. From that list, Bulls seem most ready to win one once D Rose is back.

How we( the lakers) are never on the ****ing list :(

Pacers or Bulls are good fits to me.

Not sure if I want Brandon Roy to play backup behind Kobe. You guys need to get Josh Smith and Andre Iguodola haha

[JBrizzy]

Out of those teams I'd like to see him in Indiana. He'd be a useful piece and I don't see them falling behind too much if injury continues to keep him off the court. If he can keep himself somewhat healthy it would be a big bonus for them.

Not white enough to play for the Wolves though.

A guy that can create his own shot and opportunities for other will given Kobe some rest. Why not?

We all know Kobe! The dude will shoot until he cant walk anymore. They need a SF.

[Chief Keef]

Bulls

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

hey, can anybody give me a refresher as to how Darius Miles screwed over the Blazers a few years ago? Something to do with insurance...

[mrbigshot1]

How we( the lakers) are never on the ****ing list :(
Haha what about Detroit.

[stallionaire]

Minnesota is waiting for you, Brandon...

[RoseCity07]

I'd like to see him go to the Pacers and help them close some games out. Let hm play 15-20 minutes a game. Let him rest on the second of back to backs.

Granger simply doesn't have the skill to close out games consistently. If the game is on the line Brandon Roy is going to get you buckets. He'd be a great addition for the Pacers in the playoffs.

[Umad101]

How come nobody talk about the pistons they got a nice young core. Just get rid of that dude with cancer and y'all are all good.

Our bench is horrible but we have a good future with are starting lineup. After we get rid of Charlie V's contract next year then we should try to get a SG that's not undersized.

Do you know how Rose is gonna look when he come's back?...:facepalm

[InspiredLebowski]

I'll get excited when he passes a physical and then I see the contract.

Dude is still getting paid by the Blazers. What kind of contract do you think he'll command? I'm thinking the min allowed by the league :confusedshrug:

But we've got David Kahn in the discussion here. Who the hell know what Roy'll get offered.

[FireDavidKahn]

He would get as much playing time as he wanted in Minny. Choose the Wolves Brandon:rockon:

The Lakers announced a few days ago that they were passing on Roy. In this particular instance, that's why the Lakers aren't on a list.

[gyu]

I thought Roy's knees are bone on bone aren't they? And if he continued playing on them he runs the risk of not being able to walk again or were those exaggerated?

[NOHCP3]

Bulls


This....

Bang Bang

[BuffaloBill]

Come to the Wolves :rockon:

[ispin69]

So what happened? He retired cause he was missing knee cartilage, then the blazers amnestied him. Now he all of a sudden can play again but only for a different team? Was it just a ploy to leave the blazers?

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

A lot of people seem to think so
Isn't insurance paying his remaining contract from the Blazers? I wonder how the hell that works.

[nathanjizzle]

come to the bulls! 5 light skin brethas in the starting line up. miami heat will be so jealous:cheers:

Why the *** aren't they more active in this offseason. We don't need a huge blockbuster Trade just upgrade the bench with shooters and athleticism and we should be fine.

This. Often it looks like the Lakers are a little all-or-nothing. They either want stars or scrubs.

[Raz]

I think he could work well in Golden State as a shot creator off the bench - the only reason I would be hesitant as the Warriors FO is that he is going to miss games - I say that as I sit here after 40 minutes of basketball with floating meniscus in my knee, it moves around it makes SITTING uncomfortable. Curry, Bogut and Roy - that's asking for trouble.

With that said, I would hope he winds up in Indiana. He'd be a great 6th man there.

[50inchvertical]

He's not going to make it through the whole season. He is bone on bone. If you can put him on ice til late in the season, then integrate him as strictly a catch and shoot jumpshooter in the corner maybe, but even that's optimistic because he has to run back and forth. Did you all not see how bad he looked just trying to move the last time he played? Plus for his own future, I'd like to see him stay retired. Being able to play with your kids and future grandkids is more important than playing one more season and not even being guaranteed at a title

give me a break. every player always wants to play for LA and suddenly one guy doesnt express interest in the lakers and you cry about it? :roll:

lakers are the ones that werent interested...according to AMISTILLILL

[kumquat]

From what I remember, Portland also amnestied Roy. With Darius I think he played enough games after his medical retirement to count on the cap which screwed Portland over.

[Joshumitsu]

I'd love to see Roy in a Bulls uniform.

I will have the Bulls as my second fave team next year if he goes.

[NugzFan]

makes sense. clearly every player must want to play for the lakers so if the lakers arent on the list, the lakers must not want him.

Realistically how many minutes a night can this guy even play?

Who knows. That'll be up to the trainers of the team he signs up with. We have no idea what condition his knee is in so giving any number is just pure speculation based on nothing. He had the same surgery as Kobe did so that's a positive.

[hawkfan]

Roy should go to the Spacers.

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

Supposedly he is meeting with the Mavs tonight:

Jamal Crawford said at his charity game in Spokane tonight that Brandon Roy is a no-show b/c he's meeting with Dallas, one of 4 finalists.

He'll have no problem playing right now....will be able to go out hard for 40 mins if he wanted too. He's VERY well rested. The problem for him his later down the line when his knees are worn out from the season where problems can come in.

AND +1 for Bulls being on the list.

Nope. Calderon isn't even a superstar and even then he only wants to play with GASOL, not so much Kobe or dying to be in LA.
