    There's not a chance in hell he is gonna leave now. For fucks sake the owner of the damn team went in to check on him immediately, the mutual love between Wes and the Blazers will never die.

    How does this not hurt out title chances, or even getting out of the first round? Afflalo will fill in fine for Wes. But who will pick up Afflalo's production off the bench? This is a major blow, and maybe too big to overcome. With Wes, it was WCF for this team, without him, we'll be blessed making it to the 2nd round.

    I think an appropriate contract for Wes would be 2/19 with a player optioned 2nd year.

    FUCK! I wasn't able to watch the game, got an update on my phone we killed the Mavs, was very happy. Then I look at ESPN and see we lost Wes.

    different sport, but I'm a fan of the Broncos and know Demaryius Thomas tore his achilles and this is someone who relied just on athleticism coming into the NFL. Well if you watch the sport you know he is still very athletic and a beast of a WR.

    Dominique Wilkins came back after a ruptured achilles and averaged 30 pts a game and 7 rebounds. His best year of his career.

    This injury scares me for Wes though. He goes full tilt and puts a lot of pressure on his ankles, I think we're gonna see him slow down considerably and become more of a 3. Which isn't terrible, he has the skillset to guard larger slower guys.

    Some team might throw a retarded amount of money at him in a panic move.
