Sad panda.

Hope Portland handles this better than the Darius Miles debacle.

WTF does this have to do with the Darious Miles debacle???

[Giuseppe]

^Nothing. It's just that Stern cancelling that deal last night wasn't enough.

tee, hee.

This is a sad day for Blazermaniacs. B-Roy was almost solely responsible for restoring the dignity of the franchise. I'm sure we will honor him appropriately on opening night.

Oden next?

I didn't know Oden's knees were contagious.

At least now Wes Matthews can start and get 35 unen bered minutes every game.

Its kind of sad when you think about what could have been. Dude had upper echelon talent. He was just as good as LeBron or Wade or Melo or whoever. When you think about what could have been. Portland is due some good luck.. BIG TIME!!!

No he wasn't. He was very good. But a notch below those guys. He was in the Joe Johnson, Caron Butler, Jason Richardson level.

[Banzai]

So he's retiring from basketball? Someone help me here lol..

How many goats did he have to blow to do that? That explains the knees.

Damn, Jammie just as hard-assed as the rest of us.

Ya , you.

Sad day, loved Roy.

[da_suns_fan]

Sad that his career got cut so short.

Always liked him.

[baseline bum]

I've been a big Roy fan since he was playing at Washington, and it's really sad to see such an amazing player have to cut his career short.

RIP


Pour out a lil' Gatorade

[Jodelo]

Nothing surprising to see here...

[pass1st]

I figured he would have become a crippled after another injury, good to see that he's being smart and cutting his losses short.

Hopefully he didn't spend all his money.

This sucks, he was as good as it gets when healthy.
