OT: Brandon Roy Considering Comeback

[Axl Rose]

Former Rookie of the Year and 3-time All-Star guard Brandon Roy, who recently retired from basketball due to a serious knee condition, has been entertaining the possibility of a comeback, telling Eurobasket, 'It's hard being away from the game. Don't be surprised if you see Brandon Roy make his way back to the court.'

The five-year veteran, who was selected sixth in the 2006 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers, retired on December 10, 2011, after suffering from ongoing trouble with his knees.

Lately, Roy has been working out in his hometown gym, preparing for a life changing possibility. 'It burns being away from the game and watching the entire season from the outside,' a frustrated Roy said as he followed the shortened 2011-12 NBA season from his living room couch.

According to sources close to the player, regardless of his knee problems, Roy's decision to retire wasn't all health related. 'There's something to it, but it's not the right time for me to get into it right now,' Roy said. 'I've been doing some treatment and I'm trying to leave the window open to returning to basketball.'

We could Use more injured players who will play a couple games and then sit out for a month.

Reminds me of the T-Mac situation. Roy can still play in spurts though. He's far from the top of my wish list. But I wouldn't be upset if the Bulls signed him down the road. Roy was a guy I always liked a lot. Now with that said, I don't think we go near him.

 

[bbaker]

No to signing with Chicago, but yes to the comeback. I hope he can successfully return to the NBA.

Why? So the Bulls' defense can go straight to hell and halt the great ball movement?

 

[Huffalicious]

Brandon Roy is really awesome. I think it's pretty sad he had to retire at such a young age, especially when he was so good.

I'd like to see him make a comeback, but I don't want to see him on the Bulls.

This. I wouldn't want to have another player whether it would be them being a starter and them coming off the bench and wondering if they were going to get injured,especially with his track record of being injured through his career. I think he can probably make a good comeback though and I thought it was dumb of him to retire early anyways.

 

[Mr. Cub]

I'd love to see Roy come back and still have success like he used to. He was a hell of a player and fun to watch! Good luck B-Roy!

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

I never want to see him in a Heat uniform. He would be close to a perfect fit.
