From Chris Broussard of ESPN The Magazine: "Sources say Brandon Roy to announce medical retirement due to degenerative knees, possibly as soon as today."
This is really too bad. I always really like Roy, but his knees are just shot. Still, I am surprised he is walking away from his four years and $68.69 million contract. The good news for the Blazers here is that Roy wasn't worth anywhere near what he contract was worth, and 1 year after he announces his retirement his deal comes off the books, so the Blazers should have some money to play with next year.
The Blazer remind me of the Rockets from a couple years back. Roy being Tracy McGrady, and Oden being Yao Ming.
