Brandon Roy used to be a superstar. Then his knees started to deteriorate due to a rare condition in which he lacks cartilage between some of his bones.
Mat's not so sure that compiling knee injuries is the ticket to the top, but that being said, if Brandon Roy is the right price, he's certainly worth a flier.
Roy is a guy who used to give you 20 points a game. Odds are he won't be able to return to that form, but if the knees can hold up, he's certainly an answer to the "who else can create a shot" syndrome the Bulls have been facing.
Mat usually prefers known commodities. Say a Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, or Tyreke Evans, as opposed to draft picks or injury rehab projects, but this one strikes him differently.
Brandon Roy retired. Done with basketball forever. Now he suddenly wants back in? Sounds like a guy who not only has something to prove, but who might not be opposed to proving it for a fraction of the cost he used to make.
Mat salivates over the idea of a healthy Rose, Deng, and Roy on the court at the same time. He knows it's a pipe dream here on the 26th of June, but what else is the offseason for?
