Hearts in Portland became heavy late Thursday when news broke out on multiple social media sites that the Minnesota Timberwolves appear to come to terms with former Blazer Brandon Roy followed by a verbal commitment from the valued forward Nicolas Batum.
The exact details of both contracts are still being worked out, The Oregonian writer Jason Quick first announced on Twitter that a Roy family member said he ended up signing with the Wolves. Roy cannot sign until July 11, but they verbally agreed to a two-year, $10 million deal, according to HoopsWorld.com.

The Portland Trail Blazers are in the midst of retooling their roster and got some valuable players during the 2012 NBA Draft on Thursday night in Newark, New Jersey. With the 6th and 11th pick, both in the first round, the Blazers have had a lot of good quality players to look at that could make an impact immediately. The two major areas of concern for the Blazers are the center and point guard positions and with their selection picked Damian Lillard and Meyers Leonard.

1. Consensus #1 Pick, 100% sure he will be selected here and has not worked out for any other team.

2. I think MJ will take MKG under his wing and try to develop him into a star. Has the attributes to defend, rebound and attack the basket, however he has an unusual shooting stroke. With the help of MJ, this can be corrected at the age of 18, as he has plenty of time to develop. May reach for Beal for greater offensive power or a big man in Robinson.

Chris Palmer of ESPN went to his Twitter account on May 30th to share his thoughts about former Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy and talks of a possible NBA comeback. The city of Portland remembers that painful December day when Roy took a medical retirement before Trail Blazers opened practice due to bum knees and hasn’t played since, but is open to suiting back into a Blazers uniforms or to another team.
Palmer promptly tweeted
“Someone who could help the Lakers: Brandon Roy. Based on what I’m told he could be back in the league next year.”

Well Blazer fans, the 2011-2012 season is in the history books. Does it sting? Leave a bitter taste in your mouth? Do you feel relieved?
I feel a little about everything, disappointed is a word that will be thrown a lot around Portland this summer whenever this season will be brought up. Sure it stings that the Rose Garden won’t be buzzing with playoff indications while teams like the Thunder, Nuggets and Jazz are representing the Northwest Division. But to as much of a roller coaster season full of highs and definite lows, I am kind of thankful for our summer to start early. We knew midway through (and up until after the trade deadline) that the lottery was in our future.

As anyone could imagine, Steve Nash ran circles around the Portland guards in route to a 125-107 demolition.
The Suns (32-29) eyeing for the last playoff spot as they got a lift from the Houston Rockets losing to Denver, the Trail Blazers (28-34) treating this game and the rest of their five game stretch as prime time for the rookies to strut their stuff and possibly earn a role on the roster next season.

Bummer news came out Thursday afternoon from Trail Blazers headquarters in downtown Portland as news broke that All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge would sit out the remanding of the season and will undergo a hip surgery.
Aldridge sat out in yesterday’s home win against the Golden State Warriors to a sore hip and got an MRI done a few days ago, the results came back and found a labral tear on his right side that will require arthroscopic surgery. With seven games left on the Trail Blazers schedule as the Dallas Mavericks visit the Rose Garden on Friday and 4.5 games back for the eighth seed in the Western Conference, it’s pretty safe to say that the Blazers hope for a late playoff push is all but over. At least it gives Aldridge plenty of time to heal and get into beast shape for training camp and be ready to go for next season.

Depending on who you rooted for, anyone could agree that this game didn’t have much riding on as both clubs are most likely not heading into the postseason, and are destined for the lottery, but hey, a win is a win.
The Portland Trail Blazers welcomed in the Golden State Warriors for the last meeting of the season, the Blazers would be without All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge to a hip injury (more about that later), leaving J.J. Hickson to take his place in the starting lineup.

If the Blazers wanted any kind of momentum to climb further out of the depths of the Western Conference seeding, tonight was the night, but one of the two teams was clearly the better. Portland (27-31) needed to beat the Houston Rockets (32-25) as the Rockets were soaring on a 3-0 road trip and would try to avoid a season sweep.
