It's cause we didn't have Levar as the trainer all these years!

It's sad. I heard speculation that shoe choice contributed to their injuries, but IDK what the facts are.

I also think we look very similar next year.

Still think LaVine gets traded this offseason to a team with cap space - Detroit, Utah, San Antonio or Orlando

Other then that we probably look very similar

Given it's Lavar speaking, that's a relatively conservative sounding projection should his recovery not have any setbacks.

Lavar saying a conservative thing makes me think things must be really dire indeed.

My rule in life is if that once I realize that a person is serial bullshitter, I pay no further attention to anything they say. LaVar reached that stage long ago.

If enough other people observed my rule, we'd have a much better crop of politicians.

I almost have gotten to the point that when Lavar speaks, I believe...the opposite is true. That said, while I really don't think Lonzo will ever play another NBA game in a Bulls jersey, I would be thrilled to be proven wrong on this point.

Not expecting anything from Lonzo, but he's been my favorite player of the AK era and I hope for his own personal sake he can recover. Unfortunately by the time he gets back to some resemblance of his old self, it will be in another uniform.

Hopefully the Bulls can use his expiring contract to get someone who can actually play (from a team trying to improving their capsheet moving forward).

Yeah if Ball said 4-5 days I would say hmmmm maybe in 4-5 months that will be true. Saying 4-5 months that feels like he is either talking years or decades

Bro picked up that option immediately, no time wasted lol

Would be nice to at least get a video of him working out and making 3s to go along with the news.

He is never playing another NBA game, and AkME could ne should have gotten a medical removal from the cap, but ownership would rather pay less in total salaries due to insurance covering ball.

Yep. 16M per year free cash for JR.

No tax makes them big money too.

Ball is going to do his best to play again next year to get another bag full of cash.

He will be lucky to get the vet min until he can prove healthy for at lest 60 games.

Well- zero expectations. But it would be amazing if he could make it past training camp and finish the season without surgery.

the poor man's derrick recovery thread...extended mix!

We are all pissed off that Lonzo has been out hurt and taking up cap space meanwhile JR is loving it.

He’s saved a significant amount of money out of this.Definitely calling AK a genius for this signing.
