Which I still want him to wear in games. For protection. Not good to wear them for all exercise as it doesn't allow those muscles and joints and ligaments to build and fully function.

It was encouraging to see him for six seconds without the knee brace on. Wouldn't it be just amazing to have a fully healthy roster on opening night? I guess a guy can dream.

DTA! Especially when it comes to the health of Joel Hans Embiid!

In my head, Joel & PG are already out for the season. Any contributions they are able to provide is a happy surprise.

Yep. I’m of the belief that Jo’s knee can’t go more than 3 or 4 games without seriously hampering him. If he did come back magically health, then this team has a really high ceiling, but it seems really unlikely.

I have the same exact view.

It was a lot of fun watching the team compete during that November/December run with McCain. With Maxey, Grimes, VJ, Broome, Bona, Oubre, Watford, Edwards - I'm excited to see how it goes.

If the Raptors would like to trade this Bust fellow you speak of for Broome, Mr. Twitter poster, I think a deal can be arranged.


Broome for Barnes ?? Straight up?!?

In a millisecond, if not faster.

For the record, I realize that's not going to happen.

It was just a tongue in cheek response to that tweet.

I’m happy Ace has fired his agent - I was genuinely concerned for him. I’m 100% convinced that Omar Cooper was gonna steal money from him.

I´m happy with VJ, but maybe that means that we overreacted with Baile´s potential character problems? If he already dumped Omar, doesnt seem he´s so dumb lol

So glad they went with a more matte fabric for the new black jerseys rather than the trash-bag sheen of the Iverson-era.
