Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

I wonder if this would have happened if he was taking his shower in Portland, Or instead of his home in Milwaukee WI. WTF is he doing home anyways? This season ain't over. Just because he is out for the year doesn't mean that the job is done. He should be here with his team.
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

The team probably allowed him to return home if he's in a dead period of his rehab - just like they let Raef spend the entire year last year in Iowa.

The team should monitor him. I don't know how you can monitor him and the things he does from 2000 miles away.
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

He would fly in for checkups just like Raef did. Do you really think him being in Milwaukee caused him to rerupture his tendon? They can't monitor him taking a shower, and he probably follows a strict guideline. He won't be able to play again this year (even if he hadn't reruptured), and his rehab is a long one - there is no harm in allowing him to be in Milwaukee where most of his kids grandparents are as well as his wife's family.

He did this at home. Where does he spend his off seasons? In Milwaukie. Where do you think most of his recreational activities takes place? In Milwaukie, WI. I'm sure he owns plenty of toys like a motorcycle, a jet ski, tons of things. They say he did it in the shower. That was his excuse. No one knows that for sure. We can only take his word for it. Letting him go, they basically took their eye off the ball with him. They should have kept him here so they could have kept a close eye on him with any and all activities. And really because he is being paid and is an employee of the Blazers. That shouldn't have been to much ask.
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

BTW. Raef was different. We had no intentions in keeping him. What he did in Iowa is his own thing. I'm assuming we had plans for Joel after this season.
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

wow, next year is really going to be interesting if Joel can play, we'll need to keep Camby because I'm not sure Greg can play an entire season, I also think we need to add another big in the draft.......this is bad news for Portland, and good news for Camby's camp, his value just went up.
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

Man this sucks for Joel. I feel much worse for him than the fans or the team.

I did not have my hopes up on Joel returning to the court in any meaningful way next season. My ill-informed probability was only at about 20%, and that being near the end of the season. Now my hope is zero.

That's why I already thought we needed to resign Camby -- now there is no doubt.

But can we?
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

My brother called me last night - he was at PDX coming home from vacation and he saw Pryz in baggage claim severely limping and said he looked really pissed off. He was carrying his own duffel bag and it was a real struggle for him. He had to walk across the street (where the taxis are) and there was his driver and a Mercedes. It took him several minutes to get into the vehicle. At that point I hadn't heard he reinjured his knee. Poor guy.
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

Thank you Joel for all you have given to the TrailBlazers.

Go off in the Sunset and try to enjoy the rest of your life.

Maybe you can go campaign with Dudley.

Really? You think he was out on a jetski or a motorcycle three months after breaking his kneecap and rupturing his patella tendon? Really? Greg just now got back on a treadmill with lesser injury and you think Joel is out there doing jetskis?

He probably actually slipped in the shower, it's really not that much of a reach. Most athletes have clauses in their contract that if they get injured on motorcycles or any other dangerous vehicle/activity their contracts can be voided. Do you really think Joel is going to risk 8 million dollars for a joyride during rehab? I mean come on.

I'd rather a trusted employee be rehabbing where he feels most comfortable especially if it lifts his spirits. If he's in a dead period between where he no longer needs daily treatment but he can't yet do physical activity to regain muscle then I say let him stay home. We also don't know how long he's been in Milwaukee - could have been a couple days just visiting family, might have been here for a while.

But clearly Joel was out there doing jumps on jetskis and joined a motorcycle gang where he has to ride vigorously.
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

I blame Nate McMillan for allowing him to shower so soon after surgery. He clearly should've remained on sponge baths for another 4-6 weeks.

What? No one came to pick him up? The Blazers could have at least sent HCP, err I mean "THE" out to help with his bags. No wonder he was pissed off. :devilwink:
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

His career is likely over. At best, I think he's third string. Playing that Samaki Walker role now.
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

Somebody on here will try to place the blame on Jay Jenson or Geoff Clark!

The fact is we don't know how he re ruptured it. We do know that he was in Milwaukee someplace when it happened. During a time when the season was still in full force. Joel should have been here in Portland with his teammates at least until the end of the season. They could have continued to monitor him and see to it that he was doing the right things in the process. That shouldn't be too much to ask. They are paying him an awful lot of money to be an employee here. Whether it's good for his spirits or not.
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

Put me in the "bullshit coverup" camp.

Dude was probably in the middle of getting it on with his wife and something went horribly wrong. ;)

It's pretty clear Joel was dealing drugs on the mean streets of Milwaukee and a local rival took out his right knee with a tire iron.

That is actually what we thought he was mad at (hobbling through baggage claim on one leg with a duffel bag and NOBODY to help) He kept calling someone on his cell phone and he was shaking his head in disgust.

The driver was waiting outside waiting by a Mercedes near the parking garage.

After everything that Pryz has done for this team over the last several years, you questioning his motivations to rehab at his home vs. from a hotel near the practice facility is laughable. So many fucking armchair quarterbacks on here. He most likely had full permission from the team for rehabbing at home, and was getting weekly if not daily updates from both him and his medical people.
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

With Oden coming back to likely play 30+ minutes next season and Camby and Howard just there waiting for a team to sign them, I expected Joel's value was only in his contract. I doubt we would have saw another game with him on the court in our jersey next year whether he got "injured" or not.
 
Re: Przy re-injures his patella!

Oof.

Now for the real question, if you play center in the NBA what would you do if the Blazers offered you a contract or if you're coming out of college and they drafted you?

Serious question.

My roommate slipped and fell in the shower earlier this year. It sounded hilarious, but of course he hadn't been recovering from a knee injury. These things, however bizarre, can happen.
