No. AD came with the team when the league sold it. They had to find a buyer.

And if not, how many millions did he lose tonight?

I think it's sad b/c it takes a year or so to recover and he's right in his prime.

He's lost at least $150M. Possibly more.

A year? Didn’t Rudy Gay tear his Achilles about this same time last season - maybe even later - and didn’t he play at the start of the reason? I thought it was ~6 months.

He will still get 100 mil. I don’t know if he will get a max contract though.

NO should be on the phone with Utah right now trying to work a deal for Favors.

Naw. I'm looking at a guy like Speights, Muscala or Justin Hamilton. Big with 3pt range.

did you have surgery?

i tore my acl and i was pretty much the same as before after recovering from surgery (about 8-10 months).. took 9 months to dunk again and about a year before all psychological affects relating to the injury to go away.

For me it is, I have bets pending involving them

*EXPRESSED MORAL OUTRAGE*

Just kidding. I just want to take this moment to mock those who inevitably will. At the end of the day its just basketball guys, and despite the sorrows Cousins will get his millions. There are more important things in life to be outraged about.

didn't know i could only care about one thing at a time.

In retrospect that trade doesn’t seem awful tbh

I was thinking the same thing. Only bad part is Royce.

Favors would make a lot of sense and he’s been playing pretty well

Sorry Pelican fans. I hope some good comes from this in some way.
Hopefully he can come back and make a good recovery.
