    Let the "Festus is dead to me" jokes commence.

    I've torn both ACLs. I have a cadaver ligament in my right knee. It is actually better/stronger than my original. :)

    I also tore my meniscus/cartilage. They cleaned that up during the ACL surgery, but yes, it's different. I will say that if the joint works right because of the new ligament, the chances of tearing more meniscus goes way down.

    no, with FE, we're $26 mil into the luxury tax.
    without him, "only" $20 mil.

    Any tips on meniscus (knee) care? Had the meniscus surgery and can't play basketball anymore (age 32 mind you).

    I wouldn't be opposed to waiving him then resigning him to a minimum contract, if it's possible.

    So a cadavor to a one legged center had more uses than an actual center on this roster.

    (That's not a joke, Meyers)

    Has he been to a Blazer playoff game? I've seen Ed on the bench in a suit with Nurk

    No. I wondered why he wasn't at games. Well, turns out he literally can't walk. I do kind of feel bad for him. I hope he does play in the NBA again because he seems like a good guy with good intentions. Oh yeah, and he can play. I'd even be open to giving him a look when/if he's ready. But yeah, he won't be here next year.

    I hope not. I need my dose of Meyers comic relief.
