    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 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.

    The problem with JJ remains the same at the 4 or 5 he is just not a good enough defender. Milsap and especially Smith are good defenders. The also both offer more on the offensive side than JJ does.

    Exactamundo. Seriously though, both of you''ll are right. The blame should be placed on the attacker, not Lillard. That being said, Dame should have stepped in.

    Sanders is 6''11" Cailin he is about 5 pounds lighter than LA so his size should not be an issue.

    Started by BrainLL1 on 05/14/13 at 1:34 PM

    I completely agree. Pierce would bring a culture change. And we as a team really needed someone to help our young players through the tough times. Jeffires and Pavlovic were veterans who didn''t see much court time and from what I saw didn''t real...

    Joakim Noah has had his injury troubles. His crazy game and high energy make him a constant injury threat. What separates him from Oden and Rose (I had to just mention him) is his willingness to play the way he loves.
