RJ completely recovered from ankle surgery

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Also, Richard Jefferson is said to have completely recovered from the ankle surgery he underwent during the middle of last season. Though Jefferson played well down the stretch and in the playoffs, he said he wouldn't be fully healed until he was able to rest over the summer.</div></p>

Lets just keep him away from the fat ass and he should be fine.</p>

 

If RJ is fully healthy, he is formidable. We need him to be healthy in the whole year, inoder to compete with the Celtics Big 3.</p>

 

Yeah it just seems we've been the "Big 2-and-half". RJ just hasn't been able to play his game both mentally and physically, because of his injuries. A real shame.</p>

 

His defense should pick up noticeably now.</p>

</p>

hopefully. that's what we need the most from him. defense, steals, and more running.</p>

 

I remember the guy who put up huge numbers when we lost 2 of our Big 3. Hopefully we see that this year, given 100% health.</p>

Hahaha, thanks for the reminder, I have selective memory.</p>

Jefferson had a really, really, really good year in 05-06. I don't think a lot of fans remember or appreciate how destructive and effective he was before he got hurt in the playoffs. If he's back and playing at that level (especially if his 3 point shooting improves), and if Magloire and Boone improve our running game like I think they will, we could be a very, very good team.</p>

Man, why the hell are we trying to trade Jefferson?</p>

because everyone believes a good big man is better than a solid wing player, and Jefferson seems to be the ticket to getting that big man.</p>

What peg said but add: "even though we already have Nenad Krstic, Jamal Magloire, Josh Boone, Jason Collins, and Sean Williams"</p>

I really don't want to lose RJ. We'd lose so much by having Antoine in the lineup instead of him or Vince, and we'd be incredibly log-jammed at the front court positions.</p>

EDIT: Plus I mean, last year Hassan Adams started over Antoine.</p>

</p>

 

One reason that many people want to trade him is that he was injury-prone. They don't take that Billups hurt him as a result.</p>

 

Here's hoping that Jefferson can recover completely. If so, he can still add a lot. The guy's not much at putting the ball on the floor imho; somehow he seems to lack the creativity to change direction in his dribbling. But his offensive game has improved amazingly through the years. Would love to see him be the first player to put in 10 years with the team. (God forbid it's Collins..don't get me going. Yup. I am no fan.)</p>

Welcome, Teaneck Guy!!!</p>

I agree with you, there, he's extremely turnover-prone. always has been. hopefully, he's been working on his game a little bit.</p>
