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.

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.

Could we trade Lopez for Boogies bird rights

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

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.

https://www.ocregister.com/2018/01/...-still-hopes-for-trade-or-buyout-from-lakers/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

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.

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

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

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