re his last surgery; it was minor. He's playing 2on2 now.
I just think they are being extremely conservative.
I think there are very good reasons for that.
$111M of them in one sense.
They (mgmt) are willing to take the heat now on the contract.
They know the season is lost as far as playoffs go. So there is no rush.
Just the opposite. Remember when SAN lost DRob for a year. Got
the BigFundamental the next year and won 4 rings. So far.
I don't know if that plan will work again. It'll take lady luck.
But with the exception of how the fans (esp planholders like me
and others on the board) are enjoying the product THIS year, it's
not a plan without merit. That said, I'm sure they would have preferred
Gil (and Haywood) was/were healthy THIS year and we were better now
and not relying on lady luck in May.
Except if that happened, EFJ would still likely be our HC. And just how depressing a situation would that be to deal with ? EFJ went from the luckiest coach in the lead until Karma caught up with him in the name of Brendan Haywood.
Had Haywood never gotten injured, EJ would still be the coach here.
