at least 6 months even then it might take rehabbing in the next off-season to get back to full fitness if he can fully recover from it.
don't want him he's done Alston+Butler+Reed for Cassell+Conroy(waivable for $0) could save around $2M, also ship JLIII to the Clips via minimum salary exception, then cut Sura. That could leave enough salary space to give Deke his desired amount and the roster space to keep both Novak & Landry.
He's gone until after the All Star Break, minimum. And it's rare to come back with your previous explosiveness after this. As a post guy, that won't be a huge deal, but it is most likely that he'll be a step slower and his blocks will suffer. Evan
I feel bad about Brand. Couldn't have happened to a guy who deserved it less. I'm thinking the Clips will now deal Cassell... If your season is essentially lost, why keep a 37-year-old on the last year of his contract? Same, perhaps goes, with aging Cat Mobley. Both would fill needs for, say, Miami Heat. I don't know whether they see Tim Thomas as a long term keeper who will run with Elton upon his return next season, or another trade bait. I kind of want Tim Thomas for the Rockets.
