Shit dude this thread title scared me pretty bad. I was like oh shit who is it this time....

I didn't read the article... Was it about implanting cyborg knees? If so, let's sign Roy.

I had this procedure done for a bone lesion last year after they had tried a microfracture type procedure 16 years ago that did nothing....although I needed a donor piece since it was too large to take from my own knee. So far so good...for a non pro athlete with a desk job!

We can rebuild him!

Tough job for your poor knee. Wrong career choice. You should have become an NBA player.

Microfracture isn't what ended Odens career. I'm sure if someone who needed 3 of them, plus a blown kneecap, would've found another way to end his career prematurely.

Sounds like it didn't help. I've always had a sneaking suspicion it wasn't the very best long term route to go. Glad we can finally (hopefully) move past them.

We have the technology!

A rebuilt Roy would do wonders for this team. Can you imagine him teaming up with Aldridge and Lillard?

I think Dame would be told to go get his shine box and stand in the corner.
