    Ezeli is the closest player we have to Charles Oakley, so obviously we need to ban him from playing or getting near PA.

    perhaps they have yet to have exhausted all the cupping therapy options

    Yeah, and that too. I was thrilled when we got him. I'm still holding my breath.... Probably the only one around here though. Lol

    They might just be holding off in case we stumble into the playoffs and just use him at the end of close games...ice him down on the bench

    Maybe they are using the wrong type of cupping therapy...

    In this case, no news is bad news.

    I also don't think he's a good trading asset. In order to use him as an asset, we have to be willing to take on $$$$. We may be, but I doubt it.

    FEEC is probably going the way of RLEC (i.e. we're going to let it expire)

    It is not good or great, but it is an asset. Mo Williams was claimed more than once by teams looking to reach the salary floor.

    First of many, I hope.

    This season is a lost cause, so continuing it just to get that precious "playoff experience" is dumb. What good did last years playoff experience get them? An inflated ego? Because obviously they didn't gain the knowledge that defense has to be played, and that you have to play with a sense of urgency.

    Where he at tho? I know he's injured but that hasn't stopped guys like Davis from sticking around and supporting his teammates

    I read that the procedure Ezeli had involving Cadaver tissue can take up to 1 year to heal. If I recall correctly Bengals QB Carson Palmer also had a similar procedure.

    Palmer was injured in 2006 but was able to play in the NFL through 2016.

    Yah. He's definitely gone. I'm just surprised he hasn't stuck around to support his team. I mean he was a big cheerleader earlier in the year. Maybe he can't walk. Idk. Whatever.

    He damn well better!

    How many players besides Ezeli have the Blazers signed, and they never ended up suiting up?

    "His team"? I'm thinking that road trip where CJ shut him up after trying to give motivational speeches in back-to-back games soured him on this being "his team".
