As much as it pains me to see Big Ben go down, I think that might be the best thing for the team right now. As it is, we’re stuck in no-mans land with no cap space and are looking at the 8th pick. Without Big Ben’s defense, our record will likely plummet and land us at least a top 5 pick.

Big Ben is like a bandaid to all of our problems. If this injury is serious, there’s a chance he might not return next year and so we cannot afford to miss on the draft. Especially not when BG and CV have been sucking the big one for the past few months and left us with no financial flexibility.

I’m more concerned with Rodney’s condition. If it is an abnormal heartbeat, they should be able to correct it and it should improve his play quite a bit. If you’ve watched him carefully, he seems to get winded before other players and often times is panting with his hands on knees in the 4th quarter. Once it is corrected, it should help with his blood circulation and respiratory system.

If they can’t figure out what’s wrong, I’m not sure what direction the organization should take. At they very least, he’s can be an excellent 6th man. He proved that last year, racking up 10, 11 assists off the bench and his condition shouldn’t get in the way due to less play time. It’ll be interesting to see what they do about the starting position. I don’t think it would be very difficult to pry Sessions out of Minnesota if Rubio returns (Will Bynum is not a true point guard, he’s always been a score first player and you can’t afford to do that when you’re undersized and don’t have a 3 point shot), but then you still have to figure out what to do with Gordon’s hideous contract. And worse that makes it much tougher to solve our front court problems if we have to spend more on the guard positions.

i want him to be at 100%, no point in rushing back, not like we are in a fight for the 8th seed or anything.

if what he has is life threatening then there is no point in risking it. wonder what the fuck is up with him.
