Brightside - that Sac 2019 pick is looking delicious.

other bright side, Lakers didn't add another star yet, and i hope this move just guarantees Lakers will never win

Brightside - that Sac 2019 pick is looking delicious.

As is the Memphis and LAC pick. Both of those teams are unlikely to make the playoffs, but are just as unlikely to drop lower than the bottom 6 Eastern conference teams. They are literally in a lose-lose.

It doesn't matter that Boogie probably won't get back to what he was ... he just has to be better than Javale McGee, and I'm pretty sure he can do that with or without an Achilles.

There's only been like 1 player that ever from this injury

Plenty of guys have returned from the injury.  The majority do.  Unfortunately, most don't fully recover.

Dominique and Sabonis are probably the two best case examples, but they're definitely not typical.

Kobe at one point exploded for 60 points after his Achilles injury, so not all too bad.

Did you watch that game?  It was the last game of his career, and he took 50 of his team’s 85 shots.  In the 4th quarter he took a shot on all but 3 possessions, two of which he got assists on (De’Angelo Russell didn’t get the memo and chucked up a shot one time down the court.)

He didn’t explode.  Good on him for getting 60, but going 22-50 from the floor and 6-21 from 3 isn’t really that impressive.

The achilles injury actually destroyed the end of Bryant's career. Despite his age, in the 78 games he played prior to the injury in 2012-13, he was statistically having one of his better seasons and leading a pretty bad Lakers team into the playoffs. In the three seasons after the injury, he was never close to being the same player.

just saw this.  even though he might never be right with that injury,  this just looks bad for the nba.  i dont want tl hear Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. about expansion.  this front running uncompetitive league is by far the worst in sports.  and its gotten worse today.

[CelticSooner]

Wow what a boom or bust signing. I’m actually interested to see what happens now lol

Let's be serious here - two teams offered him. A bunch of teams desperate for a good big man didn't even try. It's highly unlikely he makes much of an impact.

if his medical  Was worthwhile, many teams would have bid for his services. The only teams with nothing to lose to take a swing made a bid

Or maybe only GSW did. NBA channel said a minute ago Warriors were the only offer he got, and he reached out to them after no one called him.

[CelticsElite]

I feel like the whole "I didn't get offers from other teams" story COULD be a lie to not look like a coward. A pr move engineered by his agency. Millions of dollars in jersey sales and endorsements are at stake to not look like a KD coward
 

If he did get offers, he is a super coward

IF that’s true.... talk about an unfortunate injury.

His dubious personality aside, he was talented enough to make several hundred million dollars more before his career was over. And now he’s settling for $5.3M hoping to prove himself for another contract?

I know he’s already made enough to never have to worry about money, but that’s a tough blow.
