Brandon Roy to retire

Sad, this guy was a player. I'm not a Blazers fan, but certainly respected this guy and his talents.

Brandon Roy of Portland Trail Blazers to retire due to knees, sources say - ESPN

Haha! Yeah, I'd argue he did more for Washington than Villanova!

Whoa!!! Man, that sucks...dude was a baller!!!

There were major concerns about his knees coming out of college and it scared teams away. Portland took a chance and looked like they got a steal, but his knees gave out and now that contract extension became a noose around them.

Loved watching him play - hopefully this will be one of those 'retirements' that last a year or 2 and he comes back for a curtain call for a couple of years after his knees get better. Doubtful, but possible...

the blazers have horrible with luck with young players and draft picks..

Breaking news-- David Stern just vetoed Roy's decision to retire. He's making him stay on and play out his contract.

What a shame, always seemed like a nice guy and was a good player.

Perhaps (Reynolds was an all-American...but holds a an infamous distinction with that). Maybe more along the lines of Randy Foye or Kyle Lowry right before Reynolds?

 

[rtrn2glory]

maybe...it was one of those guys

 

[Carlyle Javar Holiday]

Wow, that kid is a baller.

I think you were thinking of Allen Ray.

B. Roy is worthless.

You don't like him because your ex loved him.
