Sucks, I just want him to get healthy. We’ll get our shot.
 
We are the most cursed franchise in the history of the NBA.

What voodoo have we brought upon ourselves?

I always said Collins will have an injury-filled career due to pencil legs, so I was wrong about the location.

When everyone said he'd play C, I said PF because, at C he'd have to stand at a 45-degree angle to stop centers.

Olshey gave away Ed Davis because he thought Collins is a better shooter and is a center. He is neither. Then Nurkic went down and it cost us a championship. If I were GM, we'd have kept Ed Davis and gone the distance in the playoffs.

Ed Davis just fractured his leg.
 
I don't know if you guys caught it but after the game Stotts said he felt bad for Zach and it's hard for a young player to miss a significant amount of the season.

That was probably a slip up but I doubt a few weeks would be "significant" so we're probably talking months.

Oh easily. Shoulder surgeries take atleast few months. We should shut him down and make sure he’s fully good to go next year. Luckily it’s his non shooting shoulder

Many players return within 30 games. Quit spreading misinformation.

that would be around 2 months and that doesn't seem realistic if it's a torn labrum. I haven't heard specifically what the surgery is to repair (has it even been reported?), but a torn labrum seems the most likely and that can be a 4-6 month recovery. Paul George had labrum surgery in early June, nearly 5 months ago.

Zach hasn't even had the surgery yet. Assuming it's within a week, 4 months is March; 5 months is around when the playoffs start. 3 months is sometime around the all-star break.

True, but George had surgery on both shoulders. He had surgery to repair a right rotator cuff which has a longer recovery time. 6-9 months.

yes, but that's why they did that surgery first...so that the anticipated recovery and rehab times could coincide. From the people I've known who had labrum surgery, and what I've read over the years about athletes who have that surgery, 3 months would seem to be really tight. 4-5 months seems more realistic. Zach will likely miss most of the season, and might even miss the rest of it....that's assuming that Zach's surgery is a labrum repair; maybe it's not
 
Or maybe: Aaron Gordon. He's being paid a LOT and is not helping Orlando much which is both the reason that he'd be available AND why we shouldn't trade for him.
 
My fave choice: Tristan Thompson. He's a new man this season (contract year), but Cleveland would want something of value rather than just an expiring contract, because HE'S an expiring contract.

20 to 30 games could be seen as significant though.

In what sport would 2/5 of a season plus reconditioning and preparation drills not be a significant amount of time? This is if everything goes well?
 
Not sure if this was posted earlier in the thread but here are a bunch of NBA should dislocations: http://instreetclothes.com/2015/04/26/breaking-down-kevin-loves-dislocated-shoulder/

Some more detail about the injury: http://instreetclothes.com/2016/01/16/examining-joakim-noahs-shoulder-injury/
 
Trend that we see, most guys who dislocated their off arms (left shoulder for rightys) missed fewer games than guys who missed their primary arms. (Elliot Williams was a lefty if i remember).
