    I think at this point the risk of him being injured next year is still pretty high, and it's more about the roster spot than the money. If we can even find a warm body defense-first type guy for the MLE over the summer then it's a better use of that roster space IMO.

    I'm wondering why we did not try surgery back then? - we might have got him back before the end of season, but we don't know what king of surgery he will have - will the Blazer mgmt even tell us?

    Still a possible trade chip. Or 3.7 mil to sign someone. Or whatever. Not the end of the world. I never got my hopes up that he'd play, so I guess it's easy for me to say.

    Not surprised, I'm not let down because I never had my hopes up.

    I see this signing as a "Relationship Move" by Neil. Give 7m to a client of a friend and hope for benefits later. Who is his agent?

    Hell yeah, fuck him, he's rich!!

    I still remember when he apologized to the team as he was being stretchered off the court. Fuck. He deserved better.

    I think the anti inflammatory injections didn't reduce the swelling enough so they've got to address it surgically..he could come out of it just fine and be a keeper....that's just a real shaky maybe in the Blazer fandom world

    Ed Davis is the best big man Neil has ever signed. Fuck. Then again give him credit for robin lopez, and Plumlee has turned into a key player as well.

    There is actually a silver lining to all of this, but it probably won't really help us until the offseason. Next season FE has a partially guaranteed contract which is a very valuable tool for a team near the luxury tax.

    Of course, if we re-sign Plums, we could be over, so we may use it on us.

    Seems like we're getting the airing of grievances down.
