Brandon Roy Making a Comeback to the NBA

DONT CALL IT A COMEBACK...actually we're definitely calling it a comeback.

Former All-star guard and rookie of he year, Brandon Roy, reported yesterday via his friend and former teammate, Will Conroy's twitter, that he is planning to make a comeback to the NBA. For those that don't know, Brandon Roy was forced into retirement due to injuries before the start of this lockout season. Now he used the most reliable source ever, Twitter.com, to answer fans questions and let them know he's coming back. Roy touched on some pretty interesting points, and also he initiated rumors all around the league.

First he announced with this tweet that he was coming back:


Then he began to answer certain questions, and also showed love to the fans in Portland:

So due to the rules of when a player retires, and also Brandon Roy's contract when he did so, Brandon Roy cannot join the NBA and be right back on the Blazers roster. Sorry Portland, because you can definitely use him (if healthy). Also though he would love to play in Portland, it may not be the best spot for Roy. Coming off an injury he needs to be in a place where he will not have to carry the majority of the offensive load. A couple of teams I would like to see him join are the Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Indiana Pacers, or even the Denver Nuggets. These are a couple teams that could use him, but don't need him. He would get chances to prove himself to a contender, and he won't wear himself out too much.

One place he would love to play is Seattle:
This probably means the Thunder don't have a chance of landing him. I don't think he's too happy about the move. Either way Brandon Roy would be a good pickup for any team that takes the risk. when he was healthy he looked virtually unstoppable at times. It will be great to see which team picks him up. Cue Lakers and Miami Heat rumors. Seems like anytime a free agent is on the market those are the first two team to be rumored to get them. I doubt he goes to either of those teams so don't get your hopes up when the rumors start. No matter the destination I wish Broy good luck, I loved watching him play and I'm sure you did too. 

Let me know what team you would like to see Brandon Roy comeback and join in the comments below.
