MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)—Memphis forward Darrell Arthur will miss the season after an MRI exam confirmed a torn right Achilles tendon. The Grizzlies announced the injury Tuesday. The 6-foot-9, 235-pound Arthur was hurt in practice Sunday and had the exam Monday. The team says he is scheduled for surgery within the next week but is expected to be ready for the start of the 2012-13 season.
You know why this happened, right? Because he was originally drafted by Portland as part of the Batum draft. All season ending injuries can be traced back to us...
That's all? They only wanted your draft pick? Seriously though, LA messed up. Just think of what they could have offered for Dwight.... Jim Buss likes Bynum too much (if this rumor was true).
Yeah I think it was during the time Kobe was all bent. I will try to find the rumor. And yeah I think a filler was involved, but they just wanted our number one and whomever for melo. Again this was only a rumor.
People are ripping on Lebron, Dwight, CP3 for leaving small market teams, but if those teams didn't have shit rosters around their superstars they would've thought about staying. They don't want to end up following Garnetts career path to many more years. You take any of those three teams rosters without their superstar and they have bloated payrolls that wouldn't have a chance at the playoffs. If they had anything at all close to a poor mans Pippen to help them out those guys would've all seriously considered staying put.
Gosh I desperately hope not, or at least I hope that’s not the ballpark we’re discussing for an extension. Now if Nic plays out this year and proves he’s worth $8+ million fine, then we can pay the man. But he’s all potential and little substance at this point. He had a solid rookie year, injured second year, then slightly regressed last year. He’s been horrible in the playoffs. I wouldn’t give him more then $5million per season right now since it reduces our cap flexibility; plus we’d have matching rights next off-season anyways. If he wants to lock up financial security now he can take it, if not he can play it out and risk losing some money or potentially earning a ton more.
Maybe, but Oden was a once in a decade center prospect, any draft pick is a gamble. Right now every team has a potential Ben Gordon on their roster, so you could say rebuilding prospects look bright for every team in the NBA if you follow your assumptions about the Bobcats.
