Mike Tokito @mtokito about 1 hour ago Fifth metatarsal breaks have been a thing for #Blazers -- Martell Webster, Travis Outlaw sustained the same injury. Mike Tokito @mtokito about 1 hour ago Webster had surgery in his foot in October '08, came back in December, but re-injured it and missed rest of season.
Someone get this message to him. CJ, a warning. As they wheel you in, when you're woozy, this same crazy Blazer doctor always pulls out a paper and gets you to sign authorization for microfracture surgery. WATCH OUT. He pulled this same microfracture surprise everytime with Oden, and later each time we were told Oden had signed his life away. Meanwhile Good news! After we cut McCollum like we did Pendergraph, this opens our 15th spot for Elliot Williams.
The trainer's gone, but that secret anonymous Nazi doctor with the glowing eyes still prances the practice facility at night. Let's wait on cutting McCollum for a midseason pickup, when Oden will get booted out of Florida. This bench seat is reserved for our exalted "injured roster spot," like the "Jewish seat" on the Supreme Court. This revenue generator begets half of all Blazer articles for the media.
No way. Take all precautions when bringing him back, but even a partial rookie season should progress his development for next season. He'll know what to expect as far as NBA life and know exactly what he needs to improve on. If you make next season his rookie season, then he'll just be a rookie, which isn't what you want if you think you'll be a playoff team. Hes old for a rookie too, I say get his development going ASAP.
