You're not going to get a big whose skills mesh so well with LMA and also has the willingness to sacrifice his own numbers for the good of the team short of Pau's brother, and he's not a realistic trade option. Newsflash: Pau has been the team's second best player all year. And his weakness against the Rockets, while true, is somewhat exaggerated. Once Pop figured out how to use him, Pau was pretty useful against defending Harden in the final 2 games.Quote:

I saw that.Looks like he's going to be out for a while..Spurs will be overcautious with him, so a return after the All-Star break can't be ruled out..Quote:

Any news on his progress?

Yes, he tore his left Achilles. The bursitis is in his right heel.Quote:

He'll opt out so SA can give him a $20M/2 deal with a third year partially guaranteed.Quote:

Though unlikely, league sources added there is a chance Gay could return earlier than expected as he is healthy enough to play, but the Spurs appear set on sticking with the timetable of Gay's return post All-Star, wanting him at 100 percent with no further setbacks.
It's bursitis, not an ankle sprain. You don't fuck with bursitis, because it will come back if it's stressed at all. It's not a matter about being healthy "enough". You either have it or you don't and if you do have it, you don't play. I'm with PATFO there. That MySA article seems irresponsible.Quote:

Does anyone really think Rudy will finish the season on the active list?
