No JO, now no Wilcox...what's our next move?

Any dominoes falling? Remember Marquis going down last year set stage for Perkins trade.

Could explain Doc's suddenly sounding like he was expecting Danny to trade away--and saying he didn't care about this year's chemistry any more.

There's no way Danny can patch KG, Bass, Stiemer and 3J into a contending front court.

Chris Wilcox is out indefinitely after the results from routine cardiac tests showed a need for additional tests to be performed.

WOW. I hope he's okay. I can't believe this, two in one season?

Best wishes to Chris but this is just real crappy.

It just wasn't meant to be this year. Doc's pretty much outta options.

Yeah, I'm afraid there's really just not much to do with that.  Without Wilcox or JO the frontcourt is paper thin.

Very difficult to make any argument for standing pat at this point unless there really aren't any moves to be made that won't kill our cap flexibility.

Can't believe we might lose two players for large portions of the season due to heart related problems.

Yeah somehow the rebounding has just gotten worse.

Exactly. If it were knees, ankles, heck anything related to basketball... but heart? That's just nuts :(

C'mon guys!

Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

I guess our choices are
1. stand pat
2. trade Rondo, Pierce or Ray for a big or
3. Blow It Up.

2 or 3 are OK with me.

Yep

Just can fathom the odds.  Utterly surreal.

We had the United States military behind us that time, we're looking at the Steamer over here.
