He needs to make sure that gets right before his return

I think the tendinosis is more of a condition than an actual injury.

hopefully you are right. So many analysts before speculated that AD would only sign a 1+1 or 2+1 deal with the Lakers to assess what will happened to the 38 yr old Lebron but he opted for max/much longer deal possibly bec of a possible chronic condition

Covid had a lot to do with it too. There was a level of uncertainty about fans, missing games, etc

Well..that puts an end to this thread.

Dear Modders - can we please change the title of this thread to something related to the injury's impact.

First of all, I really hope it doesn't turn out to be anything bad, and the docs diagnosis is on point, unlike KD's Achilles. AD is one of the nicest superstars out there, maybe along with Giannis. Was expecting him gone a lot longer than the projected 2-3 weeks. Prayers and best wishes.


As per request above, I wanna discuss the impact this will have on the other players who might wanna take this as an opportunity to shine / find their feet.

1. Kuz - he's put 5 error free games, which has been a treat. The high point of his career by far. Idc about the numbers, as long as he can maintain that smashing decision making he's got going.

He's probably getting AD's starter spot, which may not be the best thing atm, given his form. Call it being superstitious or just not willing to fix something that ain't broke for the first time in 3 years. Anyway, he should see a lot more consistent minutes either way. I'm asking for the same hussle out there, no points / rebounds, just play smart.

2. Schroeder - maybe we finally see this as a chance to make the change that is been long pending, by moving him to a bench pure scorer role. Don't think about nothing else but scoring and defending. Do 'YOU' , not be Lebron's waterboy, cos you make the whole team suck in that role.

3. Trez - Give him 10 more minutes that he well deserves with Lebron & THT as primary ball handlers.. Hopefully some P&R doses in there and let's see the man shine.

4. Caruso, Wes & THT - increased minutes to have some fun wrecking offensive schemes out there. And I'd love to see another THT 30 pt Special.
