John Canzano of The Oregonian reports on Twitter that Portland Trail Blazers GM Rich Cho considered disciplining guard Brandon Roy for his emotional comments following Game 2 of the team's first round series against the Dallas Mavericks.
-------------------------
Blazers source: GM Rich Cho pushed for Roy suspension after Game 2 comments. He was met with resistance from [Blazers coach Nate] McMillan and owner Paul Allen. Cho did not return calls or messages seeking comment.
-------------------------
Cho is in Chicago for the pre-draft combine.
Thanks to BlazerFanSince1970 for getting there first in the FanShots.
Update: Canzano reports on Sunday: "Cho confirmed Saturday that he initially considered suspending Roy but backed off that and settled on a closed-door meeting with the player. The result was Roy apologizing to his teammates, and getting more minutes."
