It's not if Andy gets injured its when :snoop:

Is it that bad tho that he's out when you really think about it? :ld:

He's been masquerading as a starting 5. Which he isn't.

LeBron and Kyrie are way too comfortable with him in pick and roll/pop situations. They hardly even try it with Love.

It should free up more shots for Love in theory and force Griffin to find a better option at 5.

Nothing has really changed to me in regards to what needed to be fixed.

You're right, I'm just sick of this shyt. Once, one time I wanted them to have him for a playoff run where he could come on in crunch time and affect the game. Let's see what Griffin does.

That may still be possible because we don't know the extent of it yet. I'm sure something is torn it just depends on the severity.

There are going to be a couple of options open for centers.

O'Neal is 2-3 weeks away from wanting to play. Okafor won't be ready until after the deadline. Dalembert is on the trading block.

Sounds like they are going to try and acquire 2 bigs. One younger and one older.

As far as Andy, it may be a wrap for his career. He's going to have a long ass rehab and for a player like him it's a death blow as he's still mostly just raw energy. He could medically retire and get all of his money. The salary wouldn't count against the cap. But that's further down the line.

Like I said earlier him getting hurt may not be a bad thing. I feel like an a$$hole saying that because he's been here forever. :snoop:

I was watching Haywood play thinking about Tyler Zeller,we actually need him now and he took a step forward last year.

If Zeller was a beast defensively then I'd agree.

He's also vastly inconsistent on offense.....one day you'll get 20/10 and then he will be below average for a week. I will say that Brad Stevens is the right type of coach for him as well.


All you need at the 5 spot with this team is that defensive edge plus size, IQ, and awareness.
