Dallas's #1 in 2021.

I dont value the 2s - sorry.

[Kam]

I want whatever is bets for the player.
Why was KD walking on a torn Achilles?
Get weight off the injured body part immediately.

And KD limped all the way through the bowels of the stadium to the lockerroom as well.
Dumb stuff, imo.

He had a ruptured achilles.  There was probably no way to hurt it further.

[bodiddley]

On the court, any diagnosis is preliminary and uncertain.  He could have had a partially torn achilles, or somesuch.

But this happens with all sorts of leg and foot injuries. 
The guy limps off with some support from teammates.
Or if it's real bad they carry the gimp.

It's so bizarrely low-tech and pedestrian compared to the rest of the sophisticated, high-end NBA.  Such a weird disconnect.  It's almost comical.

New deal to consider

Kevin Knox, a future 1 and 2 2s for this year's #5 overall.

Worst forum fantasy trade offer ever.

Have you seen this team?  A future 1 will probably be top 5 anyway.  So you just wanna dump Knox and 2 2s.

As would be anticipated, your analysis shows very little understanding of anything.

Kevin Knox's potential. (zero defense, zero game IQ, horribly inefficient shooting, very suspect motor, begone...) or how the NBA lottery and draft actually works.

Fantastic deal. Make it!

What is your solution?   A high-tech robot that sweeps the player up into its bosom?  How severe must it be to call for the stretcher?   Who decides?  Could a player fake an injury to buy time for his team like a free time-out as they bring the stretcher from out of the tunnel?

I don't see why the status quo needs to change.   You ignore the law of unintended consequences that change will usher in.

If a guy can put weight on it, let him. If he can't put weight on it then let his teammates carry him off.   

Always been that way.   Doesn't need to change.

Your endorsement only strengthens my argument against.

[lesterluv]

Soccer players are all faking their injuries for calls.  THey get carried off then someone sprays water on them.  And they're fine!

But you are 100 percent on the $$$$ here..all show, nobody needs those stretchers, players and crowd loves them tho' ***



*** who loves ya, Surfer? I do!!!

We could've won 33 games and still won  the lottery.   So no... i'm not trading a potential Top pick for a #5 AND throwing in Knox.   AND 2 2s.

Kam, while there are theatrics at play for some situations in football (what u call soccer), I rarely seen the situation you noted. In addition, the stretcher is used in many cases b/c it may take too long for a seriously injured player to limp off.

I too was amazed that Durant was allowed to walk off with a suspected Achilles injury. Tell me you were tongue-in-cheek that if he could put weight on it, he could walk...how about worsening the injury?

Do you think the NBA generally values Knox ahead of a top 10 2019 pick right now?

They're roughly equal in value.  The difference is you are gambling Knox improvement potential vs a phastazm to be named later.

[Kam]

You make that trade and you could be giving up a Top 4 pick in a draft you tout to get a #5 pick in a weak draft.

Makes sense on no levels.

[kiidcarter8]

I dont think #5 this year is weak

Its 2020 that is loaded.  Not sure of 2021
