Robert Williams out for the season

He’s only out for the season. He’ll be back for playoffs. Rest him during the first round so that he’s fresh for second round.

 

Some of these guys like Rob should consider the 3on3 ball game...easy on the knees..even Greg Oden played some 3 ball. Half court. Short games. OG hoops.

 

I'm thinkin' he's toast...would be great if he responds but at some pt history repeats itself. Duop has looked great and Ayton will be back..we have 3 bigs for the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised to see Chauncey put him on the staff as a big man coach, defensive coordinator role. A guy who can command a locker room. That's what Lue did for Chauncey with the Clippers.

 

You told us?

 

Meyers could make a ton parting himself out to oft-injured big men.

 

Yeah didn't you know he was the first person ever to notice that Robert Williams III seems to be injury prone??? Maybe the dumbest "I told you guys" from this guy and that's saying a helluva lot.

 

I think if you were able to get a candid answer from Joe, he would tell you that he wanted to move a lot of vets this year

 

This is my feeling as well.

 

If he is out for 4 weeks, that would very likely include the Playoffs as well. The season ends in 3 weeks on April 13. As brittle as he is, I can't imaging rushing him back early and trying to get his rehab, cardio and fitness up to be able to participate in a Play-in game.

 

I think the next 3 games…..Denver/Boston/Cleveland…… will kinda make this thread and RW3’s situation pretty moot.

Side note, I’ve never typed MOOT before.

 

I might be able to credit that a little if I hadn't lived thru year after year of the same damn excuse for Olshey. The devil made him do it. In that case, the devil was the Paul & Jody act

I am really skeptical the Vulcans were compelling Cronin to bid against himself and give 160M to Grant, 100M to Simons, and 70M to Nurkic
or that the Vulcans made Cronin hard-cap the Blazers by signing Gary Payton
or that they made him match the dumb-ass offer sheet to Thybulle
or that the Vulcans were telling Cronin to always be dodging the luxury tax, season after season
or that the Vulcans forced Olshey into lusting after Ayton for 2 years before making him the centerpiece of the Dame trade
or that they forced him to bring in the injury-magnet in Timelord

I'm sorry, but this roster is 100% Cronin's. If the claim now is that bert won't let cronin stop straddling the fence that has flawed, high priced role player on one side, Cronin was still the person that built the fence that goes thru that pasture. Simons is the only player on the roster that was there when Cronin took over, and he re-signed Simons. And he brought in the other vets that apparently the claim is Bert won't let him trade. If Bert won't let him trade Thybulle or Simons, why did he let him trade Hart?

not buying it

 

Hart was traded for the same reason Dame was traded.
Not every player is an asshat.

 

Doesn't sound that serious.

 

We don’t need him for the play-in. We just need him good to go for the 2nd round.

 

It’s a bummer he looked like the best player on the court many minutes he was out there. Poor guy. Probably could have been a borderline all star with supreme health
