    Usually he is a man possessed and builds a bunch of muscle over the summer. With his injury and most likely not being able to do his regime; I wonder how he comes in next season. It maybe a good thing for him honestly. He might get some much needed rest to take control of next season.

    I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!

    One thing I noticed about the original Dream Team is that almost all of them were injured within a year. Anyone know if McCallum mentions this in his book? Anyway, yes I think rest is a very good thing, physically and mentally. Of course, if LMA were to read this he'd laugh at the notion of rehab = rest.

    Given the fact that LaMarcus just started physical activity a couple of weeks ago, I think it's quite possible that he's going to be on somewhat limited minutes to start the year ... My recommendation is to keep your hopes up, but keep expectations conservative for how impactful he's going to be at the start of the year.

    Sure. Hickson, Freeland and Leonard (and Claver?) will all probably get a lot of time.

    The record isn't going to be pretty, but that was kind of to be expected with a rookie starting point guard and no real center aside from Leonard anyway.

    I think he'll be full throttle at the beginning of the season. There's over three months left of off-season, and he'll be in the gym every day.

    Why does LA even bother putting on muscle if he doesn't want to use it? He's said time and again that he doesn't like to bang down low, he wants to be an outside shooter.
