Mike Acker of Rip City Project has some extended thoughts on Brandon Roy's return to the NBA with the Minnesota Timberwolves. ------------------------------------ I’m not ready to admit that this is really happening. There’s a good chance that the first time I actually see Brandon play during his 2012-13 comeback tour will be when he takes the court at the Rose Garden on November 23rd, a night that I’m sure no Blazer fan is looking forward to and that they will undoubtedly never forget. ... I’ve talked to a lot of people about Brandon signing with Minnesota. The best most people can do, when talking about Brandon going forward and whether or not they will root for or against him, is couch their feelings in terms of the end of a romantic relationship, a serious romantic relationship. ... Brandon is coming back because he loves the game of basketball, and at 28 didn’t feel like he was ready to be done playing it. Whether or not he can actually still play is sadly no longer any of our concern. He’s no longer on our team. ------------------------------------ -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
