Re: | MIN @ HOU | GAME 70
If RoCo can walk, he should be playing by now. If not, he should already have had some kind of knee surgery to repair whatever is not right.
If it's all about shutting things down for the year, well fine. But I would think they might want to know whether he's going to be able to be relied on next year or not. Call it a stress test.

Rumors (talk radio) are in Philadelphia that Roco has told former Sixer teammates he wants out of Minnesota and has already requested a trade in the offseason.

Fine with me he’s a bit overated and better to sell while his value is relatively high ( mostly cause of his nice contract)

Do you have a link for this?
It seems very surprising, considering how enthusiastically he played when he arrived, and the interviews he gave. The worst thing I ever heard from him was that it was difficult when he was first traded, living in a hotel out of two suitcases. He also was frustrated with PHI since they didn’t tell him he might be traded, and he found out through social media. We also heard in November how quickly he and KAT had bonded.

No link just talk on sports radio that players (76ers players) have told radio guys that Roco wants out. He was devastated when the trade happened and wanted to stay with a championship contender.

he's basically a catch-and-shoot guy that can't really create his own shot or finish at the rim. His defense was overrated Philadelphia cuz he had the great Joel Embiid to protect the paint. Karl Anthony towns is no Joel Embiid on the defensive and that's for sure.

Didn't know he was on the Warriors.

There's no surgery to repair a bone bruise, the only thing that can heal it is time, and it can take up to 2 years to heal according to medical articles.Jedzz wrote:If RoCo can walk, he should be playing by now.

I speak from experience that this is true, bone bruises are honestly worse to deal with than minor fractures, depending on context; it is a very frustrating injury to come back from. You feel absolutely fine except for very minor soreness, you try to run on it, and your foot becomes swollen with severe discomfort. Given that Minnesota is out of the Playoff hunt, I am okay with them exercising serious caution.

Covington would be perfect for Houston's starting line up

Anyone who says CP3 is the second most important player on the Rockets is wrong. Capella is huge. That dude is a force, they lose him and they fall off hard.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Good point about Capela, but to me PJ Tucker is the guy that holds that lineup together in every way possible

It's another pass it to Towns for his ALL NBA chase game and no defense.
Yay. Sitting Rose, but our Best starting C can play for cash.

Capella would be huge here. Let Towns play PF.
