me. i cant believe. he was the only draft pick that we had who would be able to contribute immediatly. not only is he out for the whole season, he may never be able to play again. scouts were already saying he was the steal of the draft. but, all in all, my prayers go out to him and his family. he needs to do what is best for him. if that means stepping away from ball to live? i'd do that. i just wish he would get better and come back next season.
This guys life is in danger and his family is at the verge of breaking down... and you guys are talking about how your basketball team is going to be worse? That's disgusting... only 1 of you guys had the decency to at least wish his family and him luck with his open heart surgery.
wtf did that have to do with this topic Mr. Wade. What they asked his how do we feel about Turaif not playing. I answered I was disappointed. But did I say he should have played even with his surgery? Of course not. I've wished nothing but the best for this guy and your telling me Im insensitive because I didn't post "Best Wishes" in this post.... Get a life.
well im gonna miss him this year. since he was the steal, I was lookin forward to how he would do. Good luck and much respect Ronny

I'm jsut trying to get the point across that while Turiaf's getting surgery on his heart, some of you guys are "crying" only because the team is a tad worse now.

While these events have been unfortunate, there is absolutely nothing wrong with talking about the implications this will have on our basketball team, especially with this being a basketball forum and all...

Open heart surgery is a serious operation. Its sad that he just found out about it when he got his physical. Wasnt his mom taking him for checkups?
Of course all laker fans are upset. What type of person would be happy? I just hope he gets well and back to basketball, even if he isn't playing for us.
Somehow, I get the feeling of d?j? vu when I think about what happened to Turiaf. Am I psychic or has this happened before?

Is it ok for everyone to use that sig? I'll use it but if its not ok, just say so and I'll take it off.

Curry, Howard and Bruce all have irregular heart beat problems, which are not that uncommon, but can be career threatening. Hoiberg has something else, I'm not exactly sure what but he will miss this next season. Turiaf has something different, and thats that part of his aorta is like more than twice the size of a rgualar persons which is really uncommon. I don't think the doctors are too concerned with him even playing again, theyre concerned with keeping him alive during surgery and after. Turiafs focussed on playing next season though, and I respect him for his courage.
