    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Traylor Has Enlarged Aortic Valve, Will Undergo Surgery
    For the first time, Robert "Tractor" Traylor has revealed just what the Nets found when they examined him in August: an enlarged aortic valve above his heart. Traylor will have heart surgery in a few weeks, but expects to return to the NBA. The Nets, he notes, are one of the few teams that check for such problems. Others, he adds, should do the same thing. It's the same condition that forced the Wolves' Fred Hoiberg and the Lakers' Ronny Turiaf to undergo heart surgery this summer.</div>

    Seems like the Nets doctors actually saved his life....if he didnt know about this condition previously. It seems to me that this condition only can get worst as he puts more pressure on his heart if un-detected. So I guess people can now cut the Nets staff some slack

    Wow...good thing the Nets check for heart problems. And I agree with NBABaller, it's a good thing that we didn't take a chance on him. Hopefully, he can make a full recovery and return to the NBA.

    How could you not check for heart problems on the Tractor? Maybe they should perform liposuction too, whilst they're at it. (sorry, a bit uncalled for, that lol)
