    From Casey-

    Highlights:
     How is your knee feeling?

    Roy: "Great. People still don't beleive me but when I came back from Phoenix it felt great. I didn't have the strength to run and explode, but I have all that back now. I'm running, jumping, dunking again. I'm excited about that, but again, this is something that I'm going to pay attention to for the rest of my career. Always in the weight room. That doesn't mean I'm going to throw around a lot of weight, just concentrating on strengthening my quad, strenghtening my calfs and make sure my hips are loose. It's a number of things he's introduced me to."
     What do you think of the signing of Wesley Matthews?

    Roy: "I think he's going to help our team. I was a little concerned with losing Martell and not bringing Travis back. I was like 'We're getting thin on that wing.' Getting Wes -- he wants to be called Wesley -- getting Wesley was huge. That was somebody I was looking forward to playing against for the rest of my career and now he's my teammate. I'm excited about it. He's kind of like in that mold of Nicolas; they do whatever it takes to help the team win. Defend, he can score, knock down the shot. There's a number of things I'm going to talk to coach about in putting me in different postions so that way we can go bigger and put maybe Nicolas and Welsey out there together. It should be fun."
     What do you think about the way the roster is? You've got Rudy, you've got Wesley, you, Bayless, Miller, a lot of guys who play the same position.

    Roy: "I think they're saying they want to make moves. I've heard some rumors that Rudy didn't want to be in Portland and I was a little disappointed about that. I would love to have another season to play with Rudy. I think he does help this basketball team, so I'm not too quick to give him up. We'll see. We definatley need some scoring off the bench and I think if we can get, along with Andre, a point guard that can somewhat get (Fernandez) off -- I think he needs that -- he'd be more happy about staying. Until they somewhat show that then I think he'll continue to get away."

    Very good interview from Brandon. No wonder he won the media award a year or two back. Love to hear his knee is back and that he's got a personal trainer to get prevent some of these nagging injuries he has had to dealt with.

    Bout time he hired a trainer. It's great he's starting to work more off the ball, that's one part of his game that really needs work and will take him to the next level.
    I am a fan of B-Roy and LaMonster!

    I gotta tell you that is a great interview!  I have never enjoyed reading an interview with any star as much as that one.  Nice work Roy.

    @Meese, it is quite ironic. They also just so happen to have the planets best player in Lebron James who leads them in rebounding with just over 8 a game.

    Yes, let''s become completely sh*t, because the 2023 draft class in the best since 2003. This kid LeKobe Gasoldridge is the best ever. He is 8"9 with a 35" wingspan. He grew up in 5 century greece with the spartans so we know he''s tough. I heard ...

    Can Portland give Dallas cash considerations for the 13th pick? If so, make the deal and package the 10th and 13th for the 4th or 5th pick and get Oladipo or McLemore or gamble and wait for C.J. McCollum at 10 and grab Hardway at 13. Either way i ...

    @ RipCity14, u nailed it w/ OJ )  I wouldn''t say "Batum is definitely overrated by Blazer fans (maybe by some but I DO think quite highly of him) " I WOULD say that MOST Blazer fans (we) love him MUCH > other fans/pundits )  Hahaha...

    But I feel like worse teams than us would offer that so you never know he might want to come back where it all started... then again he could hate us with a passion and want to go absolutely anywhere else
