Brandon Roy Signs with Timberwolves (update pg 2.)

[Oh My Bosh]

exactly...

(forgot to say earlier but) you also pretty much always have to overpay free agents if you want them to play in Minnesota...

How do you think we feel?

Players have said that they don't want to play here because we don't have ESPN ...

Yeh i know i know....... case and point steve francis (not toronto but may as well have been)

They reckon he's had stem cell and platelet injection therapy which theoretically has the potential to "regenerate" his knee cartilage but simply who knows ..

What little it could regenerate would be worn out with the grind of an NBA season. All that cutting, bending, jumping, stopping, sudden change of directions. I just don't see it man

Well returning to his pre-injury form is completely out of the question. He managed almost 30 a game in his first return from the injury, so maybe with a full off-season and lengthened rehab period he could make a Grant Hill-style return

But Grant Hill has cartilage in his knees. This is different. Bone on bone can only work for so long.

well to be fair we really don't know if it is actually bone on bone regardless... (yes i know thats what was reported..)

we will have to just wait and see.

[shortyman920]

Well I hope he can get his career going. I'll admit I loved the way he played the game tho I didn't like the Blazers at all.

Wooooh! Im just happy Brandon Roy is back! and with a up and coming team to. Teams have to watch out for the Wolves this season they look good with a healthy Rubio, Love now Roy and I heard Batum signed their offer sheet.

Report: Roy agrees to two-year deal with Timberwolves « NBA.com | Hang Time Blog

He’s not coming back to be a 10, 15-minute guy. He wants to help a team. He’s not going to be chasing a ring.”

interesting... maybe his knees are actually not that bad...

woowwwwww...
Rubio + 1/2 Roy + Batum + Love...with Pek and Ridnour...I'll be watchin Minny next season !

[yoe91]

Yeahhh, that looks really good. I'm glad he didn't sign a deal with some shitty powerhouse where he'd "get a ring" doin nothin at all playing 6min off the bench.
I'm really, REALLY FKN excited he went to Minny man !! Can't WAIT to see what he can do, and how the team will mesh together with so much raw talent right now !!!!....
