Brandon Roy to Retire????

[RPT23]

It looks as though the 2006 NBA R.O.Y. is set to retire.
A shame that he was one of the most talented players out of that draft.

It is very sad. The only consolation is the final $70M of his contract will be paid to him regardless.

I really feel sorry for the guy. He was a true competitor with a killer instinct.

Poor guy. I would retire too given the choice between walking or trying to play some more and risking being in a wheelchair. $70 million is a good consolation though.

Wait, you get paid even if you retire? WTF?

That is why they are called guaranteed contracts.

Remember Hakeem in Toronto? Retired and paid for 2 more seasons.

Remember Alonzo? Refused to show and paid.

Rasheed Wallace counted towards the C's cap last year and this year eventhough he retired.
