That sucks. I have no love for the Lakers but Demarcus was treated unfairly. Things like writers trying to keep him off the all star team. Pathetic.

Bummer.  Seems like he might just not be built to play basketball long term.

Bummer.  Seems like he might just not be built to play basketball long term.

He's built so big that it probably just wears on the connective tissue. Even after seeming to lose a bunch of weight he's probably going to be very fragile moving forward.

I hope like heck it doesn't happen but I'm really worried about Zion's durability for the same reason. The body can only handle so much impact and torquing from muscles that can exert that much force. Hopefully he'll be more like Shaq and be relatively durable into his 30s.

And so it begins.  The decline of The Lakers, AD going to NYC and LBJ fading off into the sunset.  The drama will be focused on LA this year.  I'm glad the C's are out of the Drama spotlight

That really sucks.  Thought he was going to fit in real well with them. He played great with AD vs us a couple of years back.

the C's actually dodged a bullet. Imagine if he was here instead of LA. We'd be screwed.....

I think he's done now and will be in serious decline for the next 2 years.

Gutted for Boogie, three injuries each time he's got a shot to contribute on a good team instead of the dumpster fire Kings. (he helped that fire keep going sure, but he also came up there so chicken/egg thing)

I don't think this really changes the Lakers outlook for this season.

I feel bad for him, as he seems to really want to rid himself of the negative image he has carried since playing in Sacramento. He has suffered a major injury with each new team he’s been on since.

As good as a player Boogie could have been for the Lakers, I don’t think this injury effects the team too much. If they were relying on Boogie to help them make a long run in the playoffs, then they were already in trouble.
