Whatever he does, don't have the Blazers doctor do it. Get the best you can, regardless of where it is.
 
Of course he is getting surgery. It wasn't a matter of 'if', it was a matter of 'when'.
 
So was that his last game as a Blazer? What’s his contract look like?
 
Acquiring him was a gamble he could stay healthy and highly effective with us trading him for a FRP at the deadline.

So we now lost that bet. I guess the hope becomes next season he returns to form and we can flip him at the 2025 trade deadline.

If not then we probably just hold his contract until it ends.

Wish all the best to TimeLord personally..... But this does suck for the Blazers talent and future assets.

The Sharpe gamble looks like a massive win, Brogdon also looks very good, so we won't and don't have to hit on all of these gambles. Hopefully Scoot looks better throughout the year.

did you really think the Celtics would throw him in on the Jrue deal if he was truly healthy and thought to be good to go? Remind of any player who has had multiple arthroscopy surgeries on the same knee early on in their career who then went on to a long productive career. He was dealt to the Blazers as damaged goods with a matching salary as many here speculated at the time... the value in that deal was Brogdon and the picks.

Disagree.

Robs prior surgeries were the left knee, this one Sunday was the right knee.

Yes he was injury prone but there's many dozens of NBA players that are. Sometimes they stay healthy for a long stretch and sometimes not.

Celtics didn't have many options to match salary, they wanted to stack their starters. They also have major luxury tax concerns in future seasons, so even a healthy Rob off the bench earning 8 figures a year might not be a luxury they could afford.

The Celtics didn't have any certainly to an insight to Rob having another injury just as the Blazers didn't. It was just a gamble that's didn't work for Portland.

No doubt. The Blazers will get as much as they can out of him, but nobody expects him to play much the rest of his career. It'll just be getting what they can out of him without hurting him long term.

This was something that had a high likelihood of happening. It’s why I was leaning towards trading him right away, even though I love what he brings to the table.

Yup me too. I had no idea why we didn’t. Everybody knew an injury was coming. It’s why I say he should retire at the very least
