    Anthony Pig Miller, Mark Bryant, Clarence Weatherspoon, Carlos Rogers, Stromile Swift, Mike Harris, and Joey Dorsey.

    Key Rocket plug in play players for dirt cheap over the years.

    Huge loss for the boomers, needed his size and the Aussie team is a bit thin compared to some of the other top teams.

    Spoken like a fan who doesn't understand how many franchise players we have

    backup center is big loss for a team trying to take a big step forward. This team doesn't have a lot of size to throw against opposing bigs after Sengun. Jeff Green signing is huge.

    I guess we'll see Landale suit up in Rockets unis in 2024

    That's a bummer. I guess this could mean more minutes for Cam/KPJ at the 3 as Brooks and Bari slide a position bigger for ultra small ball.

    Doesn't sound like he will miss much if any time during the season.

    Lol! That’s exactly what he wanted folks to think. Unless that picture was photoshopped, uhh he’s out for the year, you’re welcome.

    I think there should be plenty of time for Landale to heal before training camp.
    But he could be pretty rusty for the first few months.

    You have zero clue about joints. He will be back in 2 max 3 months

    I could have sworn Jock was invincible. For 8 million a year.

    just looking at the history of players with serious ankle injuries - saving you the time and research. I could be wrong and I'll be happy if he plays this season

    Shouldn't they have a confirmed diagnosis by now?

    If you break bones in your ankle you may not be walking for 2 or 3 months, much less basketball.

    methinks when the MRI comes up negative and the diagnosis a relief they report that right away.... but when it's not they take their time to get 2nd opinions
