Really.... Scola's Knee Update - (Dr. Kenneth First Podcast)

Random dude who happens to be a doctor but hasn't examined Scola's knee said "sometimes" not "most likely".

 

In gonna go clean my whole house out to distract me from the keyboard and all the things I want to shout expletives about right now. Its healthier for my heart at this point in my life.

 

No, we prefer to do all surgeries during the season, preferably at the beginning of the season, not during the offseason..............the doctors/trainers need a vacation too.

 

Thanks for the clarification.

Btw, trading Scola at the deadline would have been hard because he was a BYC player.

 

Wasn't the issue that Scola was compensating for the other knee and hurt this one? I won't worry yet, Scola's contract has only really three years left and then the un-guaranteed year kicks in. Teams will look at that and realize the risk is only minimal for three years instead of the riskier 4-6 year deals.

 

Kobe had some loose bodies removed from his knee last summer. His trade value seems to be holding.

 

I believe cartilage can be damaged from blow to it as well....although the way scola shoots, with his knees pointing excessively inwards, probably doesnt help.

 

For those who say, "We should have traded him when we had the chance" remember Scoal was BYC this year so he could have only been traded for half of the value of his contract. Meaning , if he had been traded, the return you got most likely would not be equal in value. Also consider that Scola got hurt after the trade deadline, so there was no way to know he would have hurt his knee. Bottom line: Trading Scola this year probably would not have been a good deal.

 

snakebit team..cant blame morey or les for that

 

I'm calling b.s. On this diagnosis. And not to bump Charlie Sheen's nonsense, but Scola ACTUALLY has Adonis DNA and tiger's blood running through his veins. He will self-heal over the summer by sheet act of will and come back even harder next year, and that's after carrying Argentina on his back in the offseason.

 

I'm glad someone else said it. This guy, to my knowledge, did not do the surgery.... This is all speculation because it makes sense that loose cartilage removal will thin things out and adds more grind to the knees if there isn't enough protection.

 

What is the deal with people wanting to trade players because they are good? Isn't the goal to try to have good players on the team to win games? I mean I understand trying to move some pieces for a superstar, but this is getting ridiculous. Just because someone is playing well doesn't mean they need to be traded for young talent or draft picks or whatever else you want.

 

Sheet = sheer. Damn predictive text. Evidently, all this iPhone is good for is telling apple where I am at at any given moment.

 

Ugh Les needs to invest more in a good training staff.

 

Please don't start that. This has little to do, if at all, with the training staff.

After hearing it, he clearly says, "ONLY THE ROCKETS know how how bad it is." this guys is just throwing stuff out there without knowing more about the situation than general knowledge. He doesn't know the details of Scola's condition.

 

Eh, unlike Tracy(who had this type of surgery), Luis never really depended on athleticism of any kind. So i really don't see this in such a negative light, in terms of the impact it'll have on Luis's game. However I'm a little sad his trade value just fell through the floor.

 

Can we get the title edited? It's not really an update on Scola's condition.
