2018-2019 NBA Season Thread : The One Where the Spurs Miss the Playoffs

[Andalusian girls]

uhhhh

it ruined Kobe and Billups and Okur, DeMarcus is kind of wait and see. Brand and Matthews and Gay came back to be useful but were never the same. Nique i think is the only guy to ever do it, averaged 30 the year he came back.

[Krandor]

Yeah at least in terms of the NBA Dominique Wilkins is the only one who really came back 100%

Durant could very likely still be an All Star caliber player even if he lost some explosiveness due to his overall shooting ability+height, but it's completely within expectations for him to never be the same player again.

As for other sports, Zack Britton (pitcher for the Yankees) and Erik Karlsson (NHL) have both had Achilles injuries and have performed just fine since then.

The injury is still relatively rare all things considered

[Andalusian girls]

i imagine it's much worse in basketball because of how much strain jumping puts on your calves and ankles

[Krandor]

It ruined Dwight Howard and Richard Sherman is definitely not what he once was.

Another success story tho, Jason Peters appears to have been fine since he tore his.

[Gredival]

Honestly didn't even know Dwight had an Achilles's injury, thought he was just declining in general after a brief resurge right after his back was better

Wow same, when did he have it?

[Krandor]

Sorry Ryan Howard, I was getting my Howard's confused

Dwight just got ruined by the weight of all his child support payments.

He can still get a max from anywhere with space, including GS, so I doubt he opts in

Doesn't he get a max anywhere but Supermax if he stays?

I heard that the warriors will have like a 220mil more cap/tax hit if he stays, on top of their like 100something already. Going to be biggest ever.

[Krandor]

Dubs can offer an extra year I believe, but the per year numbers should be identical.

Yeah he made an all-nba team so as far as I know they can offer super max

Hasn't been much indication he wants to return though

Ah. So he can sit out and fuck them on their tax hit or peace out and sit for the year anyway. Only difference is it might be worth it to show up in finals for a possible ring, most other teams he should stay out all season regardless.

[Krandor]

Kyrie dumped his agent and is apparently signing with ROC Nation, so it feels pretty safe to assume he's Brooklyn bound.

[Andalusian girls]

the old 3 point guards on the roster trick i know how that story plays out

[Krandor]

Rally towels for tonight

He came to ball tonight. 21 at the half

This is wild. Feels like Raps should be up 30.
