Bummer for Pendergraph. I don't see it hurting us that much this season, but it's still just plain bad luck :(

No kidding. The bad luck is eerie.

Oden - Patella
Pzybilla - Patella
Pendergraph - ACL
 
FUCK! I can't believe this keeps happening to us?!
 
Okay, I'll be the first to say it...Freeland.
 
By the way, I couldn't rep PltdPlatypus enough for that Blair comment--genius!
 
Good grief. I wish the best for Jeff and hope his recovery goes well, but as others have said, it may be time to open up a roster spot for another big.
 
This is insane. Could this really be tracked down to our strength and conditioning coaches? I know there are freak accidents, but this is getting ridiculous.

I hope he gets better soon for his sake.
 
This reminds me of the Webster injury of two years ago for some reason. Hopefully this is just a freak accident and not another year of so many injuries I barely want to watch a game in fear of seeing a knee explode.
 
If you move Aldridge to center he'll just get injured for the season. The best thing we can do is hire a new D-League center until they blow their knee out, then hire another. If no centers are left who are brave enough to play for us, then we'll just not have a player in the post... ever... and call their position "power guard".
 
Or maybe we could just cut the team down to three guards and three forwards, then fill the other nine positions with centers. I propose:

G: Roy, Miller, Matthews
F: Aldridge, Batum, Cunningham
C: Oden, Camby, Przybilla, Freeland, Steven Hill, Earl Barron, Marcus Campbell, Jared Reiner, Major Wingate

Shades of Spinal Tap's drummers? :D
 
Is it time to start questioning the training staff again?

:)
 
If Dampier would sign with Portland, I'd be really happy with that pick-up. For all that he's reviled as a "terrible player," he's actually been pretty serviceable, both over his career and recently. He'd make an okay starter and a very nice reserve.
 
Dallas needs young players for their pipeline...maybe a 2nd rounder or some euro rights for Ajinca?

Are you being serious? Why wouldn't the team give him a full one year minimum deal?

Because of the 2 guys coming back. If you are serious about believing they are going to come back and be a part of this team then you have to plan that way. Damp will not want to sit once those guys come back, and he doesn't want to take a partially guaranteed contract.
 
Has Chris Hunter been picked up by anyone yet? He could be good for you.

I liked his game a lot last season and don't understand why GS didn't bring him back, he's better than Gadzuric.

Big body, rebounder, doesn't block too many shots but doesn't get pushed around either. decent enough hands to get some points off putbacks. And he'll only cost a minimum salary, probably doesn't even have to be guaranteed.
 
we had chris hunter in camp a year or two ago too
 
Goddamn. The Paul Allen curse continues...
 
Amazing. We can't start a season without one of our big men going down.
