    He'll likely miss a bundle of games. Hopefully gets back for playoffs!

    I think it also lowers his free agent offers this summer just ever so slightly. He may now get offers between 8-12 per year.

    Cuban seems pretty desperate to get back to winning ways, but I don't know if he's that desperate

    Obviously, I wish him all the best, and a speedy recovery. I honestly do. I don't wish injury on a player, no matter who they are or what team they play for. And sure as hell not for a team I root for.

    All that being said.....I am not going to miss him. At all. I'm actually looking forward to what Kaman can do in the paint....an area that Meyers is incapable of working.

    Boy, I sure wish we kept that Valejeho dude...or whatever his name is (plays for GS now...you know, as if they need more talent).

    I don't think Meyers injury means Kaman play... I think Harkless will get most of his minutes

    Yeah, agreed. A little more Davis, a lot more Hark.

    Meyers may end up playing with Joel Freeland and Victor Claver in Russia for his pay raise. Joel had recurring shoulder problems too.

    I'll bet he opts for surgery as soon as the season is over. Actually i bet he wishes he did already. It's the only way to stop the recurring shoulder dislocation problems.

    i know its bad but my first reaction was relief... WERE ONLY HUMAN BONES! more harkless=more defense we have a pretty good record when he plays more than 25 minutes like 12-3 if i remember right

    Obviously. Yea. Obvious.

    Varejao? No we don't need aging Vets.

    He would be very lucky to get that much; he's missed significant time with injuries in other seasons too. Even when fully healthy he has major question marks with his game. I could easily see teams only offering him $5 million per year. Not sure I would match that depending on our other roster moves.

    It's not recurring. He injured the left one last time.

    This is exactly why we kept Kaman on the roster...he'll help the bench going into the playoffs
