Great news! MKG has a torn labrum, AGAIN! The same exact injury he had earlier this year! Seriously, this guy can't stay healthy.

I'm not denying the fact that MKG is one of those injury prone guys, but both of the spills he took were very awkward, and rarely you see players take a spill like that. Bad luck and/or rushing him back played a HUGE factor in this.

Some guys will continue to fall like that.  Gerald Wallace did it all the time here.

Would you package MKG and Big Al for Dwight Howard?

Absolutely not. There is no guarantee Howard would take an extension here so giving up a piece(injured as he is) for a rental is ridiculous. If we want Howard just wait till the offseason. Or offer Marvin, Al and a top 8 or so protected 1st(no idea if Houston makes that deal but if they want him gone it's possible they take it, 20 million in expiring contracts and a 1st is OK value for a rental of Howard). If he leaves we don't lose all that much and if he stays maybe he can figure out how to be dominant again. Going into next year with Kemba, MKG, Batum, Frank and Howard is a decent starting 5 and with Lin, Lamb, PJ, Zeller and Hawes the bench is passable. That team if healthy is a 5-6 seed with upside I think.

If Howard signed a long-term deal I would do that trade, even with his injuries.  But he probably won't. 

Why would you want that guy on the team though?

Everywhere he goes is where he thinks he wants to be, that is until he changes his mind for the 100th time..

That's true but I think we're just desperate for a player like that.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
