Because Dragic wasn't staying here. I'd rather lose DMo now, but keep him or be able to trade him later, than getting Goran as a one year rental for him.
Been a fan since '68. We knew there were issues with Yao's foot and it was pretty obvious there were issues with TMac's knee. There has no been no indication that DMO's back is anything serious. So my original stands?
My Mom had a wreck today and I told her "Oh great, these things come in threes. I wonder what's next?". Well I just found out what number two of three was. Regarding DMo's injury, I wonder if he had been having problems for awhile before going on injured reserve. There was a period of several weeks where he was struggling with his offense in the post and didn't seem to have much lift. Most of the speculation I heard from Bill, Bull,and others was that maybe he had hit the wall from playing so many minutes. Looking back now I wonder if it was back that was limiting him at that time?
Christ...this is really depressing. At least the Rox won the title on my MYGM mode... So what's our playoff rotation look like? Terry/Prigs Harden Ariza/Brewer Jones/Smith Howard/Dorsey With K-Pap, Nick Johnson, Capela and KJ on the outskirts?
Winning is contagious. If we won with him, he might change his mind, right. The other thing is ... what kind of back problem does DMO have? Man, that's just scary.

DMo tweeted a pic earlier showing his rehab on an AlterG treadmill. So, if I had to guess, he is doing rehab on a lumbar herniated disk. Links: AlterG - Herniated Disk Rehabilitation Herniated Disk in the Lower Back
I'm still getting over the fact of:" minor lower back stiffness" to" out for the playoffs" Seems like that happens to the Rockets on a yearly basis
Well...................................damn............................................................
It's those fancy spins he had to pull to separate himself from the other bigs, night in and night out. Oh boy. What can you do?
This is just unbelievable. I'm devastated. We seriously need to evaluate our medical and conditioning staff. We need people that know how to help these players balance their bodies properly and recover properly. While no medical staff/conditioning staff can prevent all injuries, I do think they can help with preventive measures and foresight into each players strengths and weaknesses. Touch loss, but we still have the MVP and D12. They both have to play like superstars for us to make any noise.
Damn this one Hurts. If Capela could hit his free throws at least half the time not so much but unfortunately not the reality we've seen so far. Josh Smith signing becomes BIGGER overnight. Maybe this will force Mchale to play some KJ too
