over/under..bynum will miss more games than points averaged?

I say he averages 23 ppg and misses 12 games.

[NickAnderson]

Bynum will miss 30 plus, book it cook it .

[MagicFan32]

Wiggins reminds me of Tmac but with a better body...that kid could be a lebron/durant level prospect. Hope he can get into the 14' draft

[j_n]

Bynum will miss 30 plus, book it cook it .

Im not sure about this year, but after he gets his 100 million contract than probably

[RickB-Orlando]

Bynum will miss 30 plus, book it cook it .

Not unless he signs an extension. I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect Bynum will be healthy enough until he's under a new contract, then may miss a lot of games with various nagging injuries and tendinitis.

I still wish we had traded for him, but I'm excited to see how these deals play out long term.

Brian K. Schmitz ‏@MagicInsider
The Magic have 3 players recovering from offseason surgery --- Al Harrington, Mo Harkless and Ish Smith. All expected to miss camp.

#Magic Rob Hennigan:"We were comfortable with the information we had and our medical staff assured us that these injuries were short term."

John Denton ‏@JohnDenton555
Shoulder injury to #Magic Ish Smith opens up time for E'Twaun Moore. Moore, who hit 4 3s v. Magic last season, been very impressive so far.

John Denton ‏@JohnDenton555
#Magic Al Harrington recovery should open up playing time in preseason for 1st round pick Andrew Nicholson. Will likely back up Baby at PF.

Not Harkless!

I always get a kick out of that Steve Carell gif...

Better he had hernia surgery now instead of during the season. He's only going to miss a few games anyways. He'll still get an opportunity to contribute once he returns.

That was a good listen.

[RYgoBOOM]

dammit Mo!

And just wondering, but how many people are upset with us not taking PJIII? He seems more of a risk but IMO his ceiling is higher. Thoughts?

a lot of teams passed on him. For that many to do that, there seems to be more issues with his health than his agent wanted to be known

[Optimus_Steel]

Is it normal for a 19 year old to suffer a sports hernia? That is somewhat worry some.

[SOUL]

Mid november is only a few weeks. Sounds worse than it probably is.

[Nyce_1]

The players are already doing basketball drills and have been working out with everyone else. They'll be alright. Not like we need their production for wins anyway.

[thelead]

Moe's injury kills a lot of excitement for the beginning of the season. Knowing that we aren't focused on winning, all I care about are the young players and seeing if they are going to be solid players or not. Let's hope Nicholson will be ready to go... there was that knee tweet though

[magicman123]

Great, the only player who was worth a sh_t in the Dwight trade is injured and will miss the whole preseason and regular season games. And he's a rookie, so all year we'll hear about how far behind it put him to miss training camp and preseason, and he'll sit on the bench. The worst trade in NBA history just got a little worse.

[Bo Outlaw]

Worst trade in history? Hell no. Harkless is out for like 5 or 6 regular season games. Calm down. Opens up minutes for Eyenga and Harper
