Jason click. Our Blazers -- what's going on today click here.
Well guys as -- reported in the year ago when he and things have not been going well on the negotiating for a routine leader Brandon Roy uses seeking an extension. And think about -- any better. Brandon today gave an interview up in Seattle to the radio station where he expressed disappointment. And frustration poker the Blazers black -- Ability to give him a five year max contract. And then spoke with his agent who was there -- Brandon. It and if things do not get batters in one to three days. They're preparing to come out and make the first public -- and really. About what's going on so. -- are starting to go from simmering to boiling with Brandon Roy again for those who have been following the story Brandon want. A maximum deal which is five years maximum years allowed. And the maximum dollars which will be in the eighty to 82 million dollar range the team is always willing to give him four. There's a big sticking point of course anybody who follows the Blazers and knows where Brandon Roy has done on the court. Of course down off the court. It's it's the biggest no brainer citrus -- give Brandon Roy the maximum years the next and dollars anything he wants he has. And that he deserves it. And the fact that he wants to. Stay here long term not three years not four years he wants to be here five you'd give it to them and that the Blazers are doing this. Just again. Add to what had been very disappointing summer for this organization it was still trying to make. It's -- big -- been thinking moment on the 54 season but nothing absolutely nothing going right.
why they will what's what's the point of the four year offer you don't understand I mean. What -- only be to hang out.
That could probably be you know may be concerned about Brandon past. History with injuries even know.
You know -- this. Rookie year had a few injuries you've really hasn't had a long term injuries had a couple Nick's numbers is that. He's played this 7879. Games a year. That she only -- I can think you know he had offseason knee surgery they're concerned about that but still I think just on.
The load that Brandon has cared not only on the court off the court they have asked him to do it can't.
public appearances. Community relations spots. As you gotta go well no he shoulders. Almost all of the media. Load in being the team spokesman and give an interview after interview after interview.
He's done everything about. And now it's time for them to get him wanting when he.
Do you have any doubt that they will.
A -- actually.
That they will come to. An agreement but I think already there's been harm -- I think his feelings are hurt. You know I I've got to be careful here with the conversation type hat off the record gotta keep those off the record that. I think I can be pretty. They seem -- Brandon feeling Carter and I know and don't corny but it's important he wants to feel.
Valued by this franchise after every -- he's done and given them. That they're not embracing him and taking care of him. Seemed a little bit and that kinda stuff can stick in the back your mind I think and it's just not good business.
Insists it's it's so odd I mean -- immediate. But. No one can I I just I can't fathom in nine know that you know -- this is going to put water under the bridge in you're in at signing him I just. I'm with -- I don't think you want to get to a point where he's coming out in public be making a statement against management. I I I don't think you can allow that to happen if if it's going to be a one to three day think the and you got to find a way to make something happen in one to three days because. There's no way in hell. Brad is going anywhere -- million to sign the deal eventually. Get it done and let's avoid any more panic and avoid any more people freaking out and there's already people taking this way too far in. And somehow assume this means brand it's going to end up playing somewhere else and a year.
Right and for those of you who aren't familiar with this whole process. -- players who were coming off their rookie contract has the option Q negotiate an extension. Before there last year. So -- is entering the last year his rookie contract Brandon and LaMarcus Aldridge are so they have the option to assign one to five year extension after that. Until it. And they have until October 31 to reach an extension so Brandon doesn't come to an agreement on extension by October 31 and -- play out. Next season with the Blazers. Then he'll become a restricted free agent which means how much like Paul Millsap is with the Utah Jazz will be a free agent other teams can bid on him. And the Blazers have the right to match. If it even gets to that point. That is just ludicrous. For this team to be playing with fire like that. You've just -- meet this guy happy gotta reward your players and what kind of messages this -- into the rest of the police -- players you know. But it got to be wondering. You know -- work harder they -- take care of discipline to wannabe.
Talk we Jason quick -- or don't mean blazes insider on 1080 the -- 337 with -- Isaac and seeks a Brandon Roy a the look settle perturbed. What are the Blazers say.
The Blazers are you know trying to say -- calm down calm down will get something done we'll get something time. And I'm sure they well you know I'm sure there will but I just don't think. They've gone about it. Done about it the right way and education -- guy up and dumber did like Toronto did with Andrea. Barney Nike and sign him the first day. You can sign him that assists and respecting. A Brandon that they have to keep going into this summer. And you know wondered what's going on and other things that Brandon brought up an interview with the gallery real station. Is that. You know. They wanted him to come and help recruit Hedo Turkoglu and he saint. Why -- I can help retreat guys. Who they want to get a fighter contract to finally have a one year contract at tech and the conflict of interest. And I think at this. It's a great poignantly you know what you're going to try to throw me out there and do all the justice. Bring players in your long term when you're not able willing to sign meet for five years.
Where does this put LaMarcus and all this because certainly Brennan's priority number one is LaMarcus left kind of -- and in the in the --
Well I mean going in all this is. If you'd think that brand it was going to be planned on boom next year's -- Money or signed -- figured to be a little bit more tricky because the market. And his people probably think he's a max player I don't think the Blazers feel markets -- but he just hasn't quite earned it yet. And they were going to try to maybe. Give him around ten million dollars a year and then -- on first signing day are not the it was a number one pick LaMarcus is number two pick. Signed a five year fifty million dollar deal such ten million dollars a year that's -- the Blazers are trigger -- opinion and LaMarcus. And obviously the markets is the better player than -- I mean there's there's no way anybody can argued.
You very embarrassing I got fifty million.
Yeah and so you know now there really going to have to. You know probably look at 1112 million dollars a year for the market so you're immediately into the 606570. With markets and probably at a low eighties with brand and in all this come and at a time. Where suddenly it looks like Paul Allen is Dina tightwad -- law in this as a guy who historically throughout his. Tenure at blazer owner has always opened up his pocketbook. When it comes time to win and then I don't know Estes. Franchise has been more -- To make a long term run and then it is right now and is curiously he is starting to kind of pull back.
So that's what this comes from -- Paul Allen. Absolutely I think so. I don't think any question I mean. Graham and Australia -- than that brings up that appointed if you Kevin Pritchard. In nine he's interfere and like to add an obviously makes Kevin Pritchard looked terrible. So our point is Kevin Pritchard have a problem with Paul Allen and then you've got a big mess on your hands. Well. I think birdie and a point. Easy for -- think -- bothered by -- this are -- frustrated yet. Sosa right tackle Richard and I.
And blazer fans are frustrated if you read the message boards a -- here people on the street you know -- scratching their head over the Turkey glue fingers scratching -- head over. Well why you play it hasn't been made yet. And -- at all to hear that Branyan Lori. Is being jerked around like this it's just. Nothing's going right. Why would pollen -- just now. Well. There's several theories I sick. He had been. Not the best of health slightly I don't know where he stands right now helped life. I don't think it scared and I don't want to make it sound like diner and -- their. I'm just wondering if that is plain fact and I have no idea what does he what -- ailment drinking -- You know this year he missed. A banquet because he couldn't give an award and he is unable to attend for health reasons. Those people who were -- blazer games. A lot. I think he could see that all looked a little sickly. Were stretched this year. He kind of by the time playoffs came around he started to move this color and and weight back a little bit. But there was a time there where he did not look very healthy and you know that that's just sit Syria and sorted out there -- might not be the most responsible thing to do good. If you after the pin me down to why this might be. What you may be do and yeah. I think the first logical place look at this is so.
Wow all right let's -- on anything new with the Millsap. Offer.
No I have haven't heard anything along those lines all these talks bill about. Just three -- deal with the polls. Been talking a lot of people around the league and everyone is blowing and Opteron chambers snuck in Q. This really deal with -- Chicago and Portland that it. I made a deal there are some people who think that coordinated up I haven't heard anything from Portland people. You know tipped me off and that type stuff. So I don't think that's. Going on do have one -- time Arctic here. Nate McMillan did that -- hit a good thing that happened I think this summer is that last week a team picked up. A one year option on me McMillan should Nate. Well now now has two years left on his contract who coached this year in the next year with the Blazers. About five million dollars a year. And then after that hit that. Nate McMillan says that Turkey the contract expires in 2011. That he will not look for a long term deal from the bleachers you'll always ask. For one year contracts each year he says he wants -- his contract. Doesn't want -- and lied to reach signed him on term. How do we get rid of him. He lost occurred at every year he feels like that will motivate him to stay sharp and stay on topic saying. I think it's an incredibly old school approach I think should be lauded he'd he'd. Tell that to his players you know nothing here is given you after -- and he's -- is money whereas now.
Good for navy mil that's why you loved that man out for. That stuff thanking Jason now have a good weekend. Okay that's. Basically on its regularly Blazers insider.
