What has to happen? Start Memo

Memo has looked liked pure garbage all year. He sucks. Even if he miraculously gets healthy, he'll still suck. I highly doubt we'll ever see the Memo of old (and even he wasn't that great) again.

That's true but some fans here, I suppose, have never seen a player going through that kind of a mentally and physically tough process in professional sports, so you can just ignore their ignorance. I appreciate him putting great effort to come back and showing his competitive spirit and commitment to the organization.

We did not expect him to play very well after coming back (it's impossible to expect, just do a research about the performances of athletes that ruptured their achilles after recovery) but we needed him to be able to contribute on a consistent basis. I think Memo rushed it back a little bit, he should have been more patient, nobody put pressure on him to come back as soon as possible. The Jazz were not in a tough situation. These minor, nagging injuries probably would not happen -at least not that frequently- and he, by now, would be playing consistently and regaining game shape.
 
IMHO Memo is the least of our worries right now. He is probably right where he needs to be in his rehab, he just needs time. We need to fix Bell. Anyone know Tonya Hardings number?

I am not a big Memo lover, but I hope he get well and gets back. Moving him into the starting line-up, Al to power forward and Millsap coming off the bench might improve us. But having said that I hope you realize that the chances of ever winning a championship with Memo as the starting center will likely never happen. The Laker just release Gasol on the fast break and he gets a lay-up or fouled, because Memo is so slow getting back on defense.

The difference between Memo now (slower than ever), and Sap + Big Al is moot imo. Maybe Memo before the injury.
It really doesn't matter to me anyways, because Memo isn't the answer to becoming elite. Even when Memo was playing his best a few years ago,
he didn't get us over the hump.
