Dr. Feelgood Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 The Trail Blazers were aware that Brandon Roy had bad knees when they drafted him in 2006, and they knew he had no meniscus left in either knee when they gave him a five-year, $82 million maximum contract last summer, team president Larry Miller said on Thursday. Roy, 26, is sitting out the second of three consecutive games tonight because of swelling and pain in his left knee. Roy revealed last week that after his 2008 surgery on his left knee, and the 2010 surgery on his right knee, he no longer had meniscus in either knee. http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2010/11/blazers_president_larry_miller_1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.1.A.K. Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) i read they gave him the contract kuz of what he had done in the past even being fully aware of future problems. thats a serious issue and one of the main reason teams get into eventual cap trouble.

moeroadkill Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 if i recall correctly (lol this is surprising since i hardly payed attention in class) but having no meniscus means that he has nothing to absorb any shock to the knee, makes sense now that he said a few games ago that he didnt want to have his knees drained because it hurt more, the fluid in his knees probably worked as something to absorbed all the shock to his knee iv just blown myself away with knowledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
