All pissing and moaning about sources and other assorted BS aside, I'm just relieved that this sounds like a pretty minor surgery and LA should be back by fall camp. The Olympics would have been nice, but the important thing is that he's ready to go next fall.

Agree 100%. I had to blow up.....sorry
 
It's sad when the best player on the team has to have surgery in order to wake up the rest of his teammates and get them to start tanking.

Sucks for him, but not necessarily for us....IMO anyway

like it matters anyway, probably be healthier with non-blazers doctors taking care of him. at least i could buy a cool aldridge olympic jersey. isn't that what life's all about?

Hell you beat the Nate firing by a good 4-5 years.

Sources tell me Hickson will not sign with the Blazers. In on 4-12-12 . . . let's see how many days I beat the media on this. :)

I didn't want to mention that one, but you are right :)

Undergoing surgery. Out for the year.
 
Re: Aldridge Hip MRI comes back abnormal

There is an article posted in the other Aldridge thread already. Recovery time is 2-4 months. It's not as serious as his college injury to the other hip.
 
Chad Buchanon just said on trailblazers.tv that LMA had a similiar surgery on his other hip in college.

Hey I'm learning from the master:

The next Blazer coach will suck and Blazers will eventually realize this and fire him. When that coach is fired, show me someone who called it earlier than me.

What do you think, few more of these predictions and I'll have MM crediblity around here.

And Aldridge said.....
mtokito: Aldridge said this hip injury is nowhere near as bad as the left hip surgery he had in college.

That is the last thing you want
 
Guess he's not playing in the olympics.
 
glad our doctors weren't able to see that, and he had to fly to Colorado to have someone spot the issue.
I know our medical staff has been talked about to death, and I know things get missed, but an overhaul would be nice. Just for peace of mind, almost, more than anything. Teams fire coaches when teams aren't winning, even if it isn't necessarily the coaches fault. Can' we do the same thing with training staff. Maybe not their fault, but after years of poor health, seemingly, can we just start fresh.

I want to say the Colorado Dr's are used by our team all the time, but I'm not sure. Regardless, the entire staff needs to be overhauled, IMO. The Biomatricmechanics thingy was the last straw.
 
Let me be the first to say that I think the TV crew is doing a good job and should keep their jobs!

I heard a rumor they employ illegals to keep costs down! Even the tight-wad accountant in me cannot support that!
 
Please win the lotto!

I don't think I can handle another injury to a franchise pillar.

Oh, and Cody Zeller (possible PFOTF) going back to Indy fucking sucks.

Aldridge went to Vail for a 3rd, not 2nd opinion. He then chose to have that doctor operate, passing up the usual Blazer doctors. This tells me that he doesn't trust the usual Blazer doctors and physical staff any more than we do.

Ouch!

When is the team going to get the frigging message?

Ding ding ding. We have a winner. As I said yesterday, with all the changes we've been quick to make, why the fuck does our training staff still have jobs? We've had major injury issues, some of which can be blamed on the players make-up, yes, but I think some of the recurring injuries, both big and small, have a lot to do with our medical and training staff. I mean, shit, we blame the coach for lack of performance of the team, which has been hindered by injuries. Well, why not blame the guys responsible for keeping the players healthy?

Why blame them? Maybe it's just time for a change.

Most of them anyway.

Sadly, in all seriousness it is the best run part of the Blazers
