    What the fuck! one of 4 centers is healthy, and he is an aged vet with a history of injury.

    Good luck Pendy!

    Now we need to make a trade.

    How about snatching up Turiaf? New York might not use him a whole lot, he's nothing special but is an upgrade from Turiaf. Think they'd like to have Joel's expiring contract which is of greater value in a trade for Melo? Or maybe it makes sense to send Rudy there? Hell I'd let go of Bayless and give his minutes to combination of Rudy/Matthews/Johnson and Roy (at backup PG).

    I'd love to get Seraphin too, not sure how high the wizards are on him, but he's a ways off from "contributing."

    As far as non-French guys go Dampier wouldn't be a bad move at this point, but the only thing I don't like is then you (hypothetically) have 4 guys that pretty exclusively play 5 on the team, even though Camby can play spot minutes at 4. Dante better be ready because he's gonna get some minutes!

    Drafxespress' #1 rated European FA is Yiannis Bouroussis, a 6'11" C compared to Troy Murphy.

    FWIW

    Are you being serious? Why wouldn't the team give him a full one year minimum deal?

    Bummer for Pendergraph. I don't see it hurting us that much this season, but it's still just plain bad luck :(

    Good grief. I wish the best for Jeff and hope his recovery goes well, but as others have said, it may be time to open up a roster spot for another big.

    This is insane. Could this really be tracked down to our strength and conditioning coaches? I know there are freak accidents, but this is getting ridiculous.

    I hope he gets better soon for his sake.

    This reminds me of the Webster injury of two years ago for some reason. Hopefully this is just a freak accident and not another year of so many injuries I barely want to watch a game in fear of seeing a knee explode.
