    hopefully we don’t pick up some meaningless wins when we’re so close to top 4 in the tank standings

    Bittersweet. I miss seeing him play but I kind of want the premium draft pick.


    But it’s also important to stay competitive to keep him here. I don’t think he wants to be apart of a losing culture. We need another big next to him. If I knew we were going after Oladipo I wish we would’ve went after siakim instead.

    I don’t think we have to worry to much about it top4 picks because it looks like OKc going be worst than us regardless. They can’t swap the Miami pick right?

    I hope they don't rush him back. He needs to be 100% healthy.

    Otherwise It'd be smart to sit him to get that juicy top 4 pick if our luck is in.

    They might as well just return him after the all star break. Just for extra rest. He’s injured that ankle more than twice. Give it as much time to heal as possible in this throwaway season

    I agree. Two bad ankle injuries (they looked bad to me) close together is good reason to be extra cautious, in my opinion..

    Yep. I want him ready for next year. I exotic to be a better teamZ we’ve shown that with Wood we’re a competitive team this year. No doubt in my mind we would’ve caught the division title without the harden drama and then the injury to Wood.
