    Is it possible to attempt a meniscus transplant for Roy to have some semblance of a extended career.  Just dreaming and wishing can't blame a guy for that..... I know if I could I would give up some of my meniscus in a heartbeat to help the guy out.

    On a happier note, I am happy to finally be back to the forums!  Just got finished with Basic Training in July and AIT in November now I'm stationed in Alaska, where I will attempt to listen to every game online.  I know we will continue to impress those that don't keep tabs on our organization!

    I am a fan of competing til the final buzzer!!!!!!!!!!

    First of all, welcome back.

    I had the same thought, but I'm guessing that option was already explored with Brandon's doctor. I'm guessing a meniscus transplant provides some longevity to an everyday person's knees, but probably doesn't allow them to compete at the NBA level. If you think of it like a liver transplant; once you have one, you can't go out drinking anymore. Probably a similar rule applies here.

    Yeah I figure as much, hence the reason I titled the post "Pipe Dreams" but as long as the organization did what they could, I will continue to support our franchise.

    you know, it's would be a natural thing for those in alaska to be blazers fans since it's the closest team to them!

    dare we dream that, but it's a great dream!

    Most people that live up here actually don't give a lick about basketball at all.  It's nicer than having Laker fans everywhere but other than the guys in my unit, I have nobody to talk NBA with...

    Oh, sorry Damian, you make so many I stopped reading them. I don''t because I don''t know much about salaries and stuff. Stephenson would be great, excellent rebounder, Tough Defender, is playing awesome in  today''s  game.

    Siccolo, did you mean heavier or lighter? I don''t think Noel will do well in the league. If he stays healthy long enough, he might be a half decent starter, if not, Greg Oden.

    Damian, you are completely right on that, let''s just hope it''s not a negative impact (Shout out, Ray Ray). And since when did people WANT to come to Portland? This is great.

    We really do not need so many rehashes.

    Paul Allen might sell the Blazers but the Blazers will never leave Rip City.
