Woj: Robert Williams needs knee surgery

[Strenuus]

hate to say it, but same here. People getting all excited about this acquisition didn’t look at his games played per season and connect that he now plays for the Blazers. Put two and two together.

One is based on a pattern and the other is based off things that don't actually exist.

So really, they just put one together.

 

[BankTeller]

Dang, shoulda traded him when he was healthy. Wonder if a first round pick was ever on the table for him at any point after the trade.

No way any team was ever willing to give us a 1st for him. The only possibly way would be if Memphis offered a 1st immediately after the Adams injury. I don’t think that was offered.

Big guys getting hurt in Portland doesn’t exist?

 

[KingSpeed]

When you play you will fall and you’ll hurt your knee

Time after time

I will be waiting!

Malcolm is an injury risk as well. Not to the extent of Rob but he's no ironman.

 

[Hoopguru]

Totally expected. 100% knew this would be coming at some time. Pretty much everybody did.
I hope they can get it figured out and get him to have as much time on the court as he enjoys.

Yep, everyone knew he has Brandon Roy knees. Just a matter of time and still young too.

 

[Hoopguru]

Boston Knew it was a matter of time also.

 

[wizenheimer]

it's like the Blazers ave a blind spot when ti comes to trading for or signing players with extensive injury histories:

Fabrico Oberto
Festus Ezeli
Pau Gasol
Larry Nance
Timelord

blazers gave a max offer to Chandler Parsons as well. Portland stupidly feeds the curse, again and again

[Wizard Mentor]

And so, it begins.

 

[andalusian]

And so, it continues.

FIFY

 

[B-Roy]

Is this speculation or mentioned somewhere? We don't even know what he injured from this Woj tweet, and what you're saying makes it seem like his meniscus.

I was right

 

[LayneStaley]

What’s his contract look like?

 

[inconceivable]

I was right

When he was held out of preseason, I had a feeling the team knew his knee wasn't rock solid

 

[Phatguysrule]

The value of our young guys playing with a defensive presence like Robert Williams will be more than worth it.

[THE HCP]

Why don’t we know the injury?

As if it makes a difference.

 

[Whyachi]

Williams was playing good.
get better Robert

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[Chris Craig]

Why is this team so cursed?

 

[Chris Craig]

Why don’t we know the injury?

We know he has bad knees

 

[Hoopguru]

Im surprised he even passed the physical.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Does this mean we can rescind the trade and get Jrue back?

 

[Strenuus]

Big guys getting hurt in Portland doesn’t exist?

It exiats, but not as a reason to take seriously as THE reason it happened. Big difference.

 

[Cugel]

The worst part are the longer term effects beyond win/loss: his value has just plummeted. Might has well hold on to him now.

 

[BIG Q]

I’m sure he was only in the trade for numbers matching. Isn’t it after 45 games missed insurance kicks in? Maybe he medically retires. Who knows.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Why is this team so cursed?

Injury-prone player getting injured doesn't mean we're cursed.

 

[HailBlazers]

Injury-prone player getting injured doesn't mean we're cursed.

Bos wouldn't have given him up otherwise imo.

 

[LayneStaley]

Woulda been no minutes for him after we draft Sarr anyway.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Woulda been no minutes for him after we draft Sarr anyway.

So we better not fall in love with DeAndre Ayton?
