Not true. They all had cartilage damage. That is what microfracture surgery is for. The key to the severity is whether or not the cartilage damage is in a weight bearing area of the knee. Kidd's and Randolph's were not. I don't know about Amare.Quote:

Good Luck for Amare.
That's a tad drastic. If Nash goes down then this seems rather likely, but as long as they have Nash and get Amare back for at least the last month of the season the Suns should be able to at least manage the eight spot.Quote:

Very unfortunate injury for Amare. If the Suns are smart they'll sit him the whole season, but knowing D'Antoni he'll run him 48min the second he's ok'd by the dr's. :-/
With the Suns all but a 45-50 win team now the Spurs should have a fairly easy road to the finals. Houston and Denver will compete, but they're are about it this year. Good luck Spurs fans.
I hope so, although I hope they err on the side of caution in bringing him back. Amare's a hall of fame player in the making, and no season is worth jeopardizing that.Quote:

With Amare possibly out for the season I think they have a shot at the lottery. That's why I'm interested in how well protected that pick still is that went to the Spurs, then Knicks and maybe then Bulls?
I had a serious question early in this thread... who is their backup center? Brian Grant?

Brian Grant is backup C/PF. Don't forget Burke :lol
Seriously though, I think Jones or JJax will get the SF slot with Marion going to PF. They still have that $3.6mil trade exception and several first rounders. They should ride it out for @ 30 games and see if anyone steps up at PF, sans Marion. If not make a trade for a PF.
Suns own all their first round pick. The pick given to SA for Barbosa and traded to knicks was used to draft Lee this year(30th pick).Quote:

It's especially a shame for the Suns if he doesn't recover fully considering that they just signed him to that huge deal....
Oh yeah. :oopsQuote:

Such a fucking shame, if I were Amare I would take an entire season off, especially given this injury's track record for screwing up careers.
What a shame. I had hoped that Amare's hops and physical ability would last until his game could catch up and he could get by without it. It took McDyess a couple of years for that to happen. I hope he comes through with flying colors.
Didn't Amare just sign a max contract? That's gonna hurt if he doesn't come back.
McDyess came back very strong from the surgery, and then broke his patella, weakened by the hole they drilled and not given time to completely heal.
How the hell did they just give this guy a 73 mil extension, with his knee bothering him like this. They did not make sure he was fine before they inked that deal, i mean he has been complaining about his knee for weeks now. I would expect him to get back to where he was but my god if he doesn't they still owe him all of that money.
Suns will not make the playoffs without Amare.
