The Fesenko era is over

[r_u_s_t_b_u_c_k_e_t]

Jazz center Kyrylo Fesenko has a fractured right hand, the Salt Lake Tribune has learned... The 7-foot-1, 280-pound Fesenko is expected to miss the remainder of the season as a result of the injury.

All that is left now is to retire his jersey number. Maybe they'll also put up a statue out front of the ESA? Picture it now: Fesenko in full-blown gastrointestinal distress.

How did he injure his hand in the first place? Did he accidentally slam a mug of beer on his hand? Or did he fall while dancing at a club? Surely it's not sports related, right?

Get him off. We desperately need dedicated players.

Thats the worst news of the day

Actually he hurt in practice smart guy.

He must have been answering the door during practice.
Hand injuries often happen when answering a door.... sometimes involving tripping over a bag.

Come on now he is not Boozer. He has never had a two week injury turn into half a year. Still need a cheap backup center who can play defense next year. Will see if there is anybody better for cheap.

If he would agree to something like a 3yr/$5m deal, I would keep the big man. He has played well in flashes and with the exception of Shaq, Yao, and Bynum, he is one of the biggest bodies in the NBA. Sadly he never had the focus to develop their skills.

Fes is useful as the fifth big. Teams with a lot of size and slow centers he can play against in spots.

The Jazz have only lost one game this year when Fes played 20 or more minutes, and that loss was to the Lakers.

Yummy down on that data mining.

You idiot, the Jazz have lost every game where Fes played 20 or more minutes.

This guy makes AK seem resilient.

Get him off.

Take pictures, please.

I do have to agree that having Fez be the 4th or 5th big at a contract like 3yrs for 5 million would be a pretty good deal. But I think that he will get more from FA. Just look what Joel Anthony got 18 million, Haywood from Dallas 55 million, that center don't recall his name maybe Petro like 9 million. So I think Fez will get a decent pay increase depending on the cba.

The Jazz already have 15 players. They would need dispensation to sign another guy.

Crazy you are me thinks.

You're not the brightest bulb in the bunch, are you?

So how is this the end of the Fesenko era? Is it a career ending hand injury?

"Methinks" is one word.

it turns out his contract is up at the end of this season.
