He isn't cleared by league to play yet,but as far as his blood clots they are gone, he actually had surgery to eliminate them

 

Damn .... it takes them "weeks" since the announcement and still not cleared? I wonder what the actual process is and why so slow.

 

Despite the green light from Koloko's own doctors and Lakers doctors, the former Toronto Raptors center has yet to be granted permission to return to the NBA by the league's Fitness-to-Play panel of doctors.
Bureaucrats..

 

Again .... DAMN!! Would have been nice to have had him in camp and able to get a look at in the pre-season games. Now he'll be weeks behind playing catch up whenever they finally get off their a**es to give the approval.

 

He looked pretty far from NBA level. Just not able to compete with the switching and the pace of the game. He's also a 4 and we have a lot of them already

 

guessing it's both insurance and optics...i mean...in addition to the obvious responsibility for the health of your employees, of course...

no, really, though--i'm glad the league errs on the side of caution with blood clots. don't die for a game.

 

Bosh never got cleared for blood clots, and retired. It's a serious issue .

 

I heard he was on vacation until approval. Way down in Kokomo.

Are we talking about practice not a game

I mean listen, we talkin' 'bout practice. Not a game, not a game, not a game. We talkin' about practice. Not a game, not a, not a, not the game that I go out there and die for, and play every game like it's my last. Not the game. We talkin' bout practice, man. I mean how silly is that? We talkin' bout practice
But since COVID they are never practicing.It happens in NHL too.

 

I get that it's still a preseason ,but Murray again scored just 2 points playing almost for 20 minutes

 

He just plays well against the Lakers that’s why they pay him the big bucks

 

think we missed the chance to buy low on lavine. we'll see if we were right to not make a bid there.

i'm iffy on kessler's value. i could see two firsts if one were heavily protected. but i don't know that he's a current difference maker OR a future building block. when you start sending multiple firsts, i feel like the player needs to be one of those two things. kessler may be both, but i could also argue that he's neither.

 

he plays well most of the time and plays like a superstar against us (and is generally a good clutch and playoff performer).

he annoys me supremely because he looks pretty ordinary pretty regularly, just never, ever against us.

 

If not mistaken, we couldn't send most of our players in a trade for Zach, until December. And it would be a Russ type move, losing depth (which we already lack) for one guy who's not even a superstar. And we're considering that Chicago would want our junk and 5 new players total.

Not sure it was ever a possibility for us
