Brandon Roy retiring?

[Implied Volatility]

Looks like a real possibility due to his ongoing knee problem. It will be a shame if he's forced into early retirement.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy is planning to announce his retirement due to degenerative knees, perhaps as soon as Friday, sources with knowledge of Roy's decision have told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard and ESPN.com's Chad Ford.

Roy has said he lacks cartilage in both knees, meaning there is no cushion between the bones. After arthroscopic surgery in January, Roy came back to play, but his minutes were limited off the bench, and he finished with an average of 12.2 points per game, a career low, in 47 games.

Yeah last year was a shame to watch. I feel like every time I watched Portland play he was always on the bench.

Can't blame him, the guy still wants to be able to walk by the time he's 40.
