    This is a tough blow. I Guess we kind of saw it coming but didn't really want to admit it. I hope he gets better and we can use him along with the resigned Plumlee next year. I kind of feel like he really believes in Dame and CJ. We could use a break on a healing from knee surgery center.

    Sure, but he's old. Would rather look at other options first.

    Agreed, but I just don't see Philly giving up Noel that cheap.

    Blazers center Festus Ezeli statement to @espn @theundefeated: "Everyone has moments of setback. It's unfortunate and disappointing that I am facing one of those right now. My aim is to fundamentally address issues that have lingered so that I can be the best that I can be, to help my team contend for and win the title. To all concerned I assure this, my love for the game nothing but ensures that I will be back better and stronger than ever and you can take that to the bank."

    And MY music is such a large devotion to my life I force my wife to give up a third of our house for it.
    Sometimes our passion and drives is simply eclipsed by circumstances.
    With all that I have and continue to try to do, I have no false hope so f making it to the big stage, even though I dream of it on a daily basis.

    I wish him the best of luck, but his love of the game is not the end all to recovery.

    Truth be told, if it wasn't for 2k I'd have probably forgotten by now that he is at Portland.

    You might want to re-think your word choice.

    So guesses as to what happens now? Do we waive him? Trade? DPE?

    Is there any sports franchise that is worse at evaluating the health of draft picks and free agents?

    Up until Neil Olshey got to the Clippers, I'd say the Clippers.
