    This isn't really a big deal. We all knew this already


    Olshey was able to sign Ezeli at a steep discount b/c of known knee problems and, in the long term, his contract will have no impact on the team. They knew very well that he’s a high-reward, low-risk prospect who the team is likely just hoping to get some solid rotation minutes out of for 60 or so games a year and are planning accordingly.

    That’s very differnet from Walton/Bowie/Oden who were expected to be all-stars and who had entire teams built around their potential.

    Nothing that happens to Festus this year can turn his signing into a mistake for the Blazers. I ain't even trippin

    And trading PLums before the deadline doesn't seem quite as crucial to provide even spacing and MPG now.. :)

    I'm pretty sure it's six weeks from now.. Why would it be six weeks of the season?

    It's an injection that will likely not even hold him out of the preseason. Just a little maintenance.

    We already knew he's knees were a little iffy. Now he's doing something that could help them out and it's a negative?

    This literally doesn't mean shit big picture or change anything whatsoever.

    Exactly. This is why I wanted to let it play out for a while This procedure could really help Ezeli or he could continue to get hurt. I have no idea, but either way we have Plums bird rights and we don't have Ezeli's. We can go over to keep Plums, we can't go over to keep Ezeli. (Can we?)

    I would prefer we be patient on making a decision. And not trading Plums before the season even starts.

    This is not a Joel Przybilla re-ruptures knee in the shower, summer injury.

    This is a lube the ball joint to speed up the healing process, summer treatment.

    Ezeli had a physical with Blazer team doctors before he signed with the team, this procedure could have been a recommendation by the doctors to the team.
