Doesn't surprise me... if KG retires like we expect him to, this team is going to have an extremely tough time even making the playoffs. They were dreadful defensively anytime KG sat. The difference was absurd.
Also, Rajon Rondo is 6-9 months away from even running... let alone being ready to play basketball. Who knows when and if he'll be back next season.
Definitely makes the most sense to go full-blown tank mode. We aren't going to be contenders any time soon... 2014 draft is looking epic. That's our best and only hope of landing a franchise player (Rondo isn't the type of talent you build a contender around and he'll be 28-29 years old by the time he comes back)... No sense in keeping Pierce if we're going to be in the lotto for the foreseeable future.
Doubtful we can get anything of value for him. I'm assuming we'll just waive him at this point and let him join whatever contender he wants to play for. He'll be 36 years old next season.
Rondo could've played in the first-round. He looked healthy to me. He even took jump shots during pre-game practices during a regular season game. They decided to not activate him and ruled him out for season. I expect him to start in October/November.
Dude there was just a report last week that said he's 6-9 months away from even jogging. Don't know what you're talking about.
He didn't even look like he was in crucial pain. Heck he even played THROUGH the so-called torn ACL injury during the Atlanta game. The guy even walked off in his own power. If it was a torn ACL, I would have seen the same reaction as Leandro Barbosa's or Derrick Rose's. Media just blowing up reports as always. Still expecting to see him start in November.
So, You are also claiming that the level of pain for a torn ACL is always debilitating?
Where did you get this information? You are mistaken. You should check on these things before believing everything you hear. If you heard this from yourself in your internal dialog, you should seek better sources for medical information than yourself. Regardless of where you got this idea, you are horribly mistaken and should probably avoid spreading misinformation.
ACL tears come with varying levels of pain. Some people have very little pain -- or at least low enough levels to continue skiing or doing whatever sport caused the tear. There is typically a lot of swelling and instability, though the levels of those vary too.
