If he's out a full six weeks, that means he misses 16 games. Fortunately it'd take place around the All Star break where we have 11 days off. We'd have 21 games left when he got back.

I find it rather odd that the team would prefer for him to push through the injury. Usually, it's the player that prefer to play through injury risk and not the front office. I would hope it isn't true that the team would prefer him to play through the cyst/knee soreness because that's not a good look

If he's really going to miss six weeks, these trade talks with the Nets better involve Jarrett Jack.

I think he's one of the more underrated PGs in the league. Not a great defender or distributor, but he's got a nice jump shot and can score when called upon. He can also provide some leadership while Kemba's out. I actually see him being a great fit with Al. Both have a steady, methodical style about them.

You have no evidence that it was the team vs. Kemba. Could have been some members of his family vs. others.

I knew you were going to come to the front office's defense. It was just a little bait...

I am unsure on how true these reports from a 'source' may be, but if they are true then it's kind of alarming that the front office would rather him play through the injury

The remaining schedule isn't as brutal as the start, but most of the teams we face are still better than we are or we have previously lost to

Agreed, with the caveat that I'm very skeptical of the source.

Really beginning to doubt anything Perry says in regards to his "source"

So far Spencer Percy has been ahead of the wave regarding Kemba's injury, and his tweets have been accurate. His source must be a friend or family member of Kemba's. I doubt the team would leak much info to him as he's not the team's beat writer, but it's very plausible that somebody in Kemba's camp could be the one giving him the scoop

Sessions is sitting around doing nothing for SAC, probably wouldn't take much to get him back in CHA. He's had a crappy year.

This is a strong indicator that the idea of running Lance at PG is a pipe dream.

I'd trade for Lin or Andre Miller.

Also wouldn't mind taking a look at Seth Curry. He's doing well in the D League.
