Webster DID fracture his foot!

[The Professional Fan]

Just reported on the Fan. Stress fracture. SHIT!!!!!!!!!! Quick on at 5:25 to talk about it.

Man, this could finish his season.

 

[BlazersBlood]

What? Oh man, I bet he was pumped after that game with Rudy throwing all those lobs to him. That sucks!

Good thing we have way too much depth already, now Rudy can slide right in.

 

[NOBODY]

WTF....oh wait, I forgot where I was. What the fuck is going on in Blazer land? Everybody keeps getting hurt.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Ugh . . . I would like to enjoy my blazer high for at least 24 hours.

Webster isn't part of the core, but still, this just sucks. Sucks for Webster, sucks for the Blazers, sucks for the fans.

Ugh

 

[Tortimer]

That is terrible news for Webster. I know it was only one game but it sure seemed like Rudy and Webster had a great chemistry and I think Webster would have had a big year. Now Webster being a FA next year won't be able to play well this year and trying to get a good contract next year.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

Ouch. This sucks ass.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

I wonder if that means we will have more leverage in contract extensions with him?

and rickrolling isn't funny anymore, before you try that.....

Certainly his price comes down, but his huge cap hold remains the same. This doesn't help his chances of sticking with the team for the long term.

Boy does it suck for this years club though... Batum just became a key role player.

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

Maybe we should try a trade for JJ Reddick. Crap, I think he just got extended. Need some 3-point shooting now.....maybe Luke Jackson does make the team now.

If I could link the radio waves I heard, I certainly would do that!

But....it has broke (no pun intended) on Olive as well

I'm not so sure. Outlaw will bump to starting SF. Rudy and Roy will cover the extra minutes, and Fry/Diogu cover the extra PF time that Outlaw would have taken.

Believe it or not, this might actually open up some extra time for Bayless, Blake and Sergio in the backcourt.

Of course, if Batum earns time, he'll get it.

[JfizzleBlazer]

This really does suck, although it probably will drive his price down next season. Unfortunately I guess this means we won't trade Outlaw even though I wanted to :-(

It's always funny actually

Freak horseback riding accident?

If Webster truly was ready to have his "break out" year, this definitely stings. Not devastating, but an "on" Webster would make it even that much harder to defend against our starting unit. I hate this.

 

[Ed O]

I'm watching "The Fan" on Comcast Sportsnet and Quick is going to talk about Webster's fracture in a moment.



Hopefully he signs an extension SOON. We get to keep him cheaper and reduce his cap hold.

Guess we'll see how long he's out...

[Magnum]

Whaddya know! I guess Martell is going to have a break-out year afterall!

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

Yeah, I hope he just signs an extension.....get that cap hold off and lock him up for a few years, we've certainly invested the time in him for him to make it worthwhile IMO.

 

[Ed O]

Quick: fifth metatarsal. Not sure if it'll be operated on or just rested.

Looking at 6-8 weeks minimum.

Ed O.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

ok. as long as he's back before the end of the year, I'm ok with this. It opens up the rotation a bit and lets us see what other guys can do.

 

[The Professional Fan]

It happened in the 2nd quarter and he played on it. Possibly not as bad as originally thought. Crossing fingers.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Wow...get out of my head.

Ike straight up for JJ. Move Outlaw to the backup 4...Roy and Batum play more minutes at the 3.

They show The Fan in Seattle? Radio and TV?

I was thinking with Oden in the middle commanding a double team and making the defense collaspe. . . this was a great opportunity for Webster. That and he sure did groove with Rudy in that first game.

Not good news at all . . . but I feel for Webster more than anyone. Even if he comes back, isn' t this a injury that lingers until you can geive it a lot of rest. Foot injuries suck!

I am surprised, too. They have it on channel 179, Comcast Sportsnet. It's great to watch/listen to Blazers news.

By the way: Quick makes it sound like 6-8 weeks isn't necessarily a "minimum". It sounds like it's pretty firm.

Two months isn't really that brutal, if that's all it is.

Just opens up more minute for Rooooooodeee!

 

[BrianFromWA]

If he's back for the Christmas stretch of 6 home games, that'll be ok. Our first stretch was rough, but starting with that home stretch of games in late December we have to be making hay.

So rare to have Portland sports infiltrate the Seattle market. Cool.....I guess!? Well, cool for you at least. God knows we get plenty of Seattle sports down here.
