BBD obviously messed up his knee and with all that weight he has to support he may be slow the rest of the year. (hoping it isn't a torn ligament or something)

It is now very important to have BBD  insurance who can go down and grab rebounds at the PF spot.

Leon at least knows the system if nothing else .

If we're looking for a PF with healthy knees, doesn't that automatically eliminate Leon? I love the guy's spirit, but let's be real here.

what other options are out there?

at the very least he knows the defensive system and he is a few years removed from the surgery, maybe he can add hustle and grit to the 2nd unit.

We are going to need someone if BBD is hurt  bad

TP, this team needs health.  And the system isn't the same one as in 2008.  I love Leon, but I'm not sure he's what we need.

Let's just wait and see how bad Davis' injury turns out to be.  Hopefully its nothing too bad.

If I'm not mistaken, Leon had another knee surgery (torn meniscus) a little earlier in the season... clearly, his knees are still an issue.

That injury did not look good, and all that extra weight does not help. My mantra has been the same all year -- This team will never be healthy and the only way they win the championship is if the right guys are healthy come playoff time. Despite his poor play of late, I think Baby is one of those guys who has to be healthy.

  • Thank you Eddie!
It's so easy to forget these guys have the best record in the East right now, now that we're to the point where we just traded one of our starters for a healthy bench and we're talking ourselves into a guy who blew out his knee and who might as well be playing on crutches at this point because our 6th man just got stupidly injured.  The fact that this team has the 2nd best record in the NBA is a minor miracle.

Baby never would have had to have been in the game that late if the bench could have held the lead.  >:(
