Chronic knee and back problems are huge reasons to stay away - even when you’re tanking.

Yeha, I wouldnt go Ball now. I thought maybe he'd take the year to rehab and it would benefit the Jazz, but now it seems like it's at least another year of rehabbing.

I wanted a pick for him… it was preseason and involved Conley… would have been a great tank move still. The risk now isn’t worth it. It would cost more than what they’d pay… they likely get to take him off the cap with the medical retirement thing if he is unable to return next year.

What that have to do with his knee doe.
The knee is supported by the foot.
Look, all I know is that before he saw Steve, he was healthy.
One is a franchise player and potential HOFer, another got derailed by injuries but is clearly the best player on the Bulls, and the other is a really good basketball player that isn’t good enough for the NBA. Not sure how many families have a track record on that level.

HOF … has he even made the playoffs with Charlotte ? Please
Best player on the bulls ? I’d take Derozen or Lavine any day , my god man
Point is you just sound like a hater.

You sounded like a hater for your own jazz player at the start of the season saying Kessler should sit till Olynyk was traded
How did that work out for you ?
Rookie of the week , Rookie of the month , potential rookie of the year
All is can tell you is the Bulls looked great with him and dog **** without him and no one else on their roster has had that net difference of impact.

That’s hard to argue as each hasn’t had an injury and been replaced by Ball to see what the outcome will be
Sure they miss him , but best player is a long stretch

Apparently Ball is gonna have a cartilage transplant in his knee. That means the "new" cartilage will be coming from a cadaver.
So don't be surprised when we hear that Rudy Gay will miss the rest of the season after a "minor knee prodecure".

Yeah also read about this fairly new and experimental procedure.. Dr. Gökhan Meric, a leading expert of the area says that 80% return to the same level but he failed to detail that the study that statement is based on has 4 cases of professional basketball players undergoing the procedure.
I found two of those 4, and likely the only NBA examples:
Jordan Adams in 2016, never played in NBA since, does play as a professional in Europe
Festus Ezeli in 2017, never played in NBA but did play in G League

Interesting ESPN article about the importance of the corner 3.
This is the shot Walker Kessler needs to eventually become a star in this league. This and free throws.

The evolution of the easiest shot in the NBA
The average corner 3 is worth more than an average layup, and teams know it, which is why they're taking more than ever -- and it's making life easier at the rim, too.
