I just want Timelord to return sometime in March and to be a rotational 10-15 minute big for us. That's all we need, and hope everyone else is healthy as possible.

i ll  take that ....i d LOVE it actually ....some situation just call for his skill set ....he has a basketball mind , just not sure his body can handle his excitement in the long term

He is only going to begin practicing after the break. Who knows how long that means until he is cleared to play. Then we as fans really shouldn't assume he will return to exactly the place in his game performance he was at before the injury.

Hopefully, he is back, really back, meaning being back to where he was before the injury in performance, and healthy by April. Just get back to that level and be incorporated back into the rotation before the playoffs.

That's what I want



I think the above is best-case scenario.  And even before the injury his play was inconsistent.  I honestly don’t expect him to be in the playoff rotation.  It’s also why I think he could be the prime asset moved in the next 24 hours (if any move is made).

I disagree. I think he will be incorporated into the playoff rotation so long as he doesn't have another setback. I also think he will be our starting center at some point next season.  The San Antonio game (away) sticks out to me in terms of his potential. That may have been our best defensive outing of the season, and he was in the center of it.

  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.
Williams has been working hard. He has potential to be a center in the NBA today. He blocked Anthony Davis twice in the same game. This injury has hurt his growth but i am sure he was watched film and they have shown him technique in practice. He was a top recruit who lost his fire. But all he said is how is working. Stevens said he works hard. We will need him to make the ECF.

What's the Vegas over/under on the number of games he is back for before he gets hurt again?
