Exum Injured

Ya how will we ever find a guy who can get us a couple of points and a couple of assists, never get to the line, shoot poor percentages, and play good defense.

Sounds impossible really

This post makes a ton of sense to people who don't believe in Exum's development, and unfortunately for those of us who do, if this injury is as significant as it appears to be the brakes have just been put on that dream.

I've always seen Exum as a multi-year project. It has never bothered me that he was not a finished product in his first year.
 
Just curious

How many of you are doctors? Surgeons? Kneeologists?

If I could talk out of my *** half as well as some of you can, I'd go on America's Got Talent and blow Howard Stern's ****in mind.

Did you have surgery? If your doctor cleared you to play 3 months after surgery, I hope he isn't still practicing.

It healed for 6 weeks then I had 6 weeks of rehab. The team doctor (not the surgeon) cleared me after I passed a certain flexibility level with no swelling. The brace I was forced to wear was fiberglass and steel it didn't flex at all and it restricted the amount it would bend up or back. I never had any bit of pain from it after the surgery. It slowed me down but I could still play with like 95% of what I could do before the tear. It didn't seem like that big of a deal after I was back playing.

So is that a yes to the surgery? How long ago was it and what type of graft did you have?

The season(purely basketball-wise and results-wise) we are losing Exum for is not the biggest problem with that injury. We will do OK either way. The much bigger problem is we lose a year of Dante's development, a year of evaluation and quite possibly it might effect his willingness to be aggressive in the future.

Hopefully we can grab an up and coming PG from a team that already has a starting PG (i.e., Schröder from Atlanta).


If not he needs to take a gamble in the next couple of drafts and try to pick out a Tony Parker type pick for us.

If he waits a few drafts to pick this guy up it is very likely we will have already lost Hayward and maybe some others before it happens. The time to win is now. A ton was riding on Exum's development, and now we may have to wait a year to see that. Plus there is a high risk that this injury permanently hurts his ability to improve his greatest weakness (offensive aggression).

Hopefully somehow this injury is similar to Carroll's.

I agree 100%
My post was in response to those that are saying we won't be able to make the playoffs now that Exum is hurt and that next season will now suck.

I think everyone is upset that he is hurt and we all wish he were playing this season.

Yeah it was surgery. I had a full tear that was attached with some sort of hollow thick bolt like screw. I have the VHS tape if you want to come over and watch some time!
