There's been much speculation about Brandon Roy’s future with the Portland Trail Blazers, but there's a sense that the team doesn’t want to rush using the amnesty clause on his contract.

"If Brandon were to accept mentally that 'I'm not that guy anymore, but I will do whatever I can to help the team,' it would make it easier to keep him around," Blazers president Larry Miller said. "We know every-so-often he is going to give us that game, and be the Brandon Roy of old, but mentally accepting where his game is, that's the bigger challenge for him. I don't know if he is there, or if he can get there."

Roy’s agent, Greg Lawrence, said his client understands the Blazers' predicament.

"I get it. Brandon gets it," said Greg Lawrence, Roy's agent. "It's not complicated. They are going to make a decision that is best for them. If they want him to be there, he will show up and work hard like he always has and do whatever it takes to help the team win. If they don't want Brandon to be there, he will move on. He just wants to know."
