    maybe he'll live up to his contract in a year or so. he's still 28. i don't see sipithree ever improving his brittle body ever.

    I don’t think he’ll live up to that contract, especially not in Boston unless they lose some of that wing depth...right now he’s just a really expensive luxury off the bench

    Looked way worse than he was before the injury, if he can't get his athleticism back he's basically another Ryan Anderson...i feel bad for him, always liked the player.

    It takes time to regain strength in a leg you can't put weight on for months. Sure you can play, but there's less bounce. Things don't fire. It comes back slowly. He's probably feeling better each day. We'll see how it shakes out next season. I don't think his career is over though. It wasn't a blown ACL or achilles.

    I think he will get it back. Right now there is the MENTAL aspect. Just trusting your body. That is something that just takes time. This is what is going on with Brandon Knight as well. Just looks stiff out there. Not playing with abandon. Takes time.

    I guess so, and in fact i hope he comes back at his best cause i'm a fan of the player, it's just that i saw him so much slower and different from what he was just a year ago...literally looked like another player. And months ago came out that rumor about his injury being something that will never heal completely, that's what scares me most, if he's going to be limited regardless, well, that's not good.
