I'm never living in Portland. There's something in the water there that makes your bones brittle.

Apparently this is Roy's agent's ploy to turn Roy into a free agent. Portland cuts him as part of amnesty, Roy has a miraculous "I'm healed" moment, and he's a free agent by next week.

Naw. He will come off their books next year with a medical retirement. They will save their amnesty option for someone else.

I do think Roy will be back although I don't know when.

I heard he's got little left in his knees, so we'll see what happens. He went from a dominate player to almost nothing during the process.
