Good news, mostly.
Having B-Roy there scares me a bit, but hopefully he’ll hold it back under 100%. And I’m very excited to see Oden, and to a lesser degree Bayless—i think they will really benefit from the experience.

I thought Roy decided not to accept that invite this offseason. I'm sure I read that somewhere.

Pretty sure Mike Barrett said BRoy wasn't gonna do it
Either on his blog or on courtside

Casey said he was certain Roy wouldn't go
on the Podcast. But ESPN apparently begs to differ, as that is a list oh who accepted the invitation.

"Fernandez, to my eyes, is the Blazer who walks that walk most comfortably. A lot of Portland's fans (egged on, dare I say, by their local broadcasters) lament things like how Ron Artest or Yao Ming get to hit Brandon Roy's arms.
But I suspect Fernandez sees all that and thinks: We get to hit arms! Cool!"

I would agree...
most non-blazer fans would probably say Durant though.

Most fans don't look at defense
Mediocre/Bad defense > Worst in league defense.

Frankly
Roy is too good for that group. I agree he sticks out like a sore thumb.

i knew, as well as everyone else, that Sergio would be moved. i’ll have to come up with a new name after a period of mourning.
