    I'd much rather sign Brandon Jennings or Bayless as the backup pg than Burke

    Meh. The doctors say he'll be 100% rehabilitated in time for training camp.

    Jack can playmake. He'd be a good fit with the bench unit.

    Well, fair enough, but the fact that he always sucked in defense and shooting doesn't exactly help your point.

    Would they say hes doomed, if that was the truth?

    This is who we'll end up with at a bloated price after another failed superstar chase.

    I mean, it's right to be concerned. But that's plenty of time, technically, to fully resume pivoting sports after acl surgery.

    And it's kinda hard to trust any medical report after the D-Mo trade deadline weirdness.

    watch OUT FOR THIS KID ,He is in a situation where he might be the odd man out. I don't think Phx has given up on Bledsoe yet.

    ACL tears aren't nearly as tragic as they once were. If Jack doesn't bounce back I'd bet that it's due to his age, not his surgically repaired and now stronger than ever knee.

    Example of an NBA player coming back from an ACL tear that was just as good as he was before the tear?

    Took about 11 months for Exum to be cleared. Jack went down in Jan.

    Obviously diff cases are diff, but Jack's situation is up in the air. Could be back in time to start season, and play well, or miss almost half the season. He'll also be 33 in October. Do uou want to take that gamble?

    Well it's hard to say, but I mean I'm sure Bayless could be had for 5-7 mill a season, throw him a 2-3 year contract with TO. Jennings on the other hand, that all depends on how he feels about his situation since he's coming off an injury. I'd offer him the exact same thing as Bayless, if he turns the corner, great value! If not, He's not the worse contract we have by a non producer we have.
