Damn and Kobe tried to walked it off in 2013

Boogie looks like he just tore his Achilles...maaaaan

 

[dceja]

Damaged goods...any other centers out there we can swoop up

 

[Lizakers]

I guess we ain’t throwin a bag at Boogie now

I guess we ain’t throwin a bag at Boogie now

Maybe not throw but we might slide it

 

[sohi 23]

I'm so sad about Boogie

 

[tupac003]

I’m sad for boogie...

But I’d be furious at management if they throw money at him. He is damaged goods.

This may be the reason this team only adds one free agent...and I’m ok with that.

 

[CHAOSE57]

So tempted to buy a Zo city jersey.

 

[CP1708]

Sad about Boogie, but might be a blessing. I was sweating them trying to pair him with PG, costing us Randle and Clarkson.

We can buy low on Boogie. I hate to take advantage of his injury, but we may be able to get him for less than max contract now.

I have no doubt he'll make a full recovery

There have been maybe 2 players who have fully recovered from an Achilles tear, it's usually a death sentence in basketball.

Nique is the only one that I can think of that came back near the player he was before. Sad to say, but this closes any need for the Lakers to pursue Boogie.

 

[moonman818]

Could we trade Lopez for Boogies bird rights

 

[Lizakers]

Any other big other than Elton Brand and 36-year old Ewing who tore Achilles? Isn’t it harder for bigs to recover?

Edit: we’re on pace for 32 wins

 

[D_eezus]

I never wanna hear that Lavine is better than BI though

Who said this?? I’ve never heard this before?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Coulda swore jarrret jack popped his Achilles recently

 

[pmatic]

Chauncey Billups
Wes Matthews
Mario Chalmers
Brandon Jennings
Anderson Varejao

Not great Bob.

 

[EddieDoyers]

NBA thread mane

 

[MajinZuub]

Torn Achilles is notoriously hard to come back from. I'm sure his size doesn't help his cause either. Hate to see that happen and hope he can bounce back.

[noblekane]

damn zo gonna have a field day with that pic

 

[WAKKO!]

Let’s not forget kobe also tore his Achilles

 

[pmatic]

So what reason does management and coaching staff give to Deng for not playing him? If it’s because they wanna play the young guys then Brewer getting minutes makes no sense

[God]

Let’s not forget kobe also tore his Achilles

Nobody forgot, but he didn’t necessarily comeback great from that injury. His body literally started falling apart from that point on and was held together with super glue just so he could drop 60 in his last game.

 

[Lizakers]

So Elton Brand, varejao, Ewing age 36......the only bigs.....damn not looking good for Boogie, but at least he’s young.

 

[dceja]

If he can recover he has to seriously slim down...Ingram status

 

[tupac003]

I’m trying to figure out, if we can buy Deng out, why don’t we?
