    I miss having this guy in the clutch instead of that guy Brad Stevens made look great for a couple seasons.

    he's likely out against Detroit per Trudell , played some 2 on 2...

    Lakers medical staff seems to be very conservative to say the least

    Ugh...so annoying how long he ended up being out. I just knew he would be out longer once they said "re-evaluated in a week"

    How many games would we have won if this guy was playing? We woulda probably still had a shot at the playofffs....ugh

    Might as well just shut him down. We know what he's capable of. Get healthy. Rest up for a bit and grind out them workouts over the offseason

    Great news on this. We miss him badly. Hopefully he and Hart can come back around the same time.

    Shut.Him.Down.

    Right now we have 9 games left and owe Philly the 10th overall pick. If we lose out, then we sit at 50 Ls for the year and own the tie breaker vs the Queens (who sit at 50 losses right now). That puts us at owing the 8th overall pick to Philly.

    Risking BI and Hart's health for a measly 2 pick positioning swap at the bottom of the lottery ain't worth it.

    OX thinks you're a puss too for that kind of thinking in addition to BI and Hart both being one.

    Dude. C'mon man. We have 10% of the season left. If he were a veteran I MIGHT be inclined to agree. But the dude is a kid who needs reps. I'm not even looking at the standings or where our pick might be. I'm looking at developing our youth and letting Ingram play with Kuz and Randle and Ball.

    @Savory Griddles BI seems to have a groin strain and those lil bastards tends to linger, so what's the point in having it become more of a nuisance into an early summer break. We know what we have in BI, so we don't need to really evaluate him (under contract for at least 2 more years). Hart has been injury prone this year ever since training camp and why risk an injury that affects his summer development. It's better to get a better look at Jules (although it's apparent he's a keeper), BLo, Frye, Wear, Zu, TB, GP3 and KCP so we have a better idea in what to do when it comes to rounding out our roster after a successful #2018Plan or a contigency plan if it fails.

    @LTLakerFan I'm built for this bro. I came up during the early stages of CL when it was a free for all. I love when it gets chippy, cause discussion goes to a sincere place. Don't intend to turn this into another Jules discussion, but I can admit that you and the Fandles made me do an about face and eat major crow on the dude. I didnt think he was a key cog moving forward but now I certainly do. Without some fiesty discussion, I woulda been cheated of that realization.

    @sirronstuff I know it's all out of love bro and respect! I've never thought otherwise and I hope you and others know that. Even tho I'm inconsiderately condescending and lengthy in my diatribe, it's always coming from a place of respect. I wouldn't put in the effort to those that I didn't respect and like as members/posters, which is why I never get into it with Real. :p

    As much as I'd like to see us win some more games, I think I'm with @vasashi17 on this. He's shown more than enough this year and justified the front office's faith in him.

    I'm okay with letting him go ahead and sit out the rest of the season to make sure there aren't any lingering issues.
