It's all just a huge coincidence. If you were an expert super doctor you'd know he had ice on his ankle because that's his calf.

Sources are saying the Lakers are in advanced stages of negotiating and the hangup appears to be Jeanie Buss' reluctance in giving up her 4th pick....not in the draft but her wine cellar. Stay tuned.
Watch Magic tweet and take the credit for AD finally ending up a Laker.
90%THere's like a 75% chance Jeanie doesn't even know these negotiations are going on
Wouldn't Klay not being eligible for the supermax actually increase his chances of leaving since teams can now offer him the same amount of money as the Warriors?Klay leaving is possible but very unlikely. Especially now that he can't get the supermax.
what difference does it make whether you go to 1 game or 20, that doesn't mean you're rooting for them...
warriors can offer 5/190, other teams 4/140Wouldn't Klay not being eligible for the supermax actually increase his chances of leaving since teams can now offer him the same amount of money as the Warriors?
Interesting, so 4/148 vs 4/140 if we are looking at equal years. If I'm the Warriors I'd actually feel comfortable giving Klay 5 years since he's more likely to age well.
you are so weird dudeSo u would purchase Lakers season tickets and go to their games even if they r not playing Boston?
Also would wear Celtics gear to a Lakers game?
It tore on the push off. Look at that zoomed in view they were showing on ESPN. You can see it snap inside his leg on the pushoff, by the time it landed for the pivot it was already done.
Wonder? His picking up his offerRIP KD
Looks like he will miss the entire year, probably won't be the same player again either. Should be elite but he's on the wrong side of 30. I wonder if he picks up his option to spend next year rehabbing on the Warriors dime before ditching them in FA.

Even if Ingram is going to return to form and not deal with blood clots, you want to be the team that maxes him at age 22 and hopes he makes the jump? He isn't the asset Lakers fans like to say he is.I just don't think you can build a trade around Ball and Ingram considering their injury history. That's just too big of a risk for NO. Maybe they can find another team to take one or both of those question marks.

A full year off seems a bit extreme. He should be able to play by January of next year.
Now that doesn't guarantee he's going to be "old KD", but resting/rehabbing for longer than that likely isn't going to make that much of a difference.
I don't know. Achilles injuries have the same rehabilitation time as ACLs. I would imagine he wouldn't want to rush it either.

Rushing somebody back from an Achilles tear is a good way to make sure that person will never fully recover
Yeah, that's a good point. Ingram will get a max offer from some desperate team so New Orelans would have to be prepared to pay him 4/$120 or whatever restricted free agents get. Seems like a terrible idea. I'd still pull the trigger if Ingram was just one of many good pieces, though. But if it's Ingram, Ball, and #4, he's one with the best chance of making an All Star team. Not a good enough haul for a top 10 player.
Coming back after 7-8 months isn't really "rushing it" though, that's pretty much the standard recovery time + an extra month or two tacked on.
If Ingram doesn't get suspended last year he's probably an All star.

It's not even close. Players come back from ACL tears all the time and are 99% of what they were pre-injury. No NBA player has come back even close to what he once was after blowing an achilles. See: Dominque, Kobe, Cousins, Gay.
Are you just making up numbers? Because you're way off.
Are you trying to make Gobert cry?
In terms of recovery time though, I meant an ACL tear can be more all over the place in terms of how long it takes to heal.
It's rushing. 7-8 months is an incredibly optimistic timeline.Coming back after 7-8 months isn't really "rushing it" though, that's pretty much the standard recovery time + an extra month or two tacked on.
Did Kobe come back from his Achilles injury?Quite a few athletes do come back from achilles tears after 7-8 months. Kobe Bryant did it and he was about 4 years older at that time IIRC. You can take a year off fully but I don't think it's really after a certain point going to make a big difference in how you can play, it is what it is.
Boogie had surgery to repair his torn Achilles on January 31st 2018, he returned to the NBA January 18, 2019 and has been a shell of his former self. His lateral movement is NOTHING like it was before the injuryComing back after 7-8 months isn't really "rushing it" though, that's pretty much the standard recovery time + an extra month or two tacked on.

Yeah which kinda just shows the injury is what it is. You can rehab for a year and take a full year off, but really it is what it is.
You're not going to be that much better by resting an extra 2-3 months past the initial healing period which usually takes 6-8 months.
You will certainly though prevent the chances of reinjury by sitting out. I mean that's a given.
