March 16, 20233 yr I feel like he's going to have knee replacement at like age 28. Hard not to view things as a bulls fan, but this is incredibly sad. The good news is he got his contract before it happened, but to just be in forever rehab, that's just terrible.

March 16, 20233 yr Author What surgery is it that will have that long of a recovery time or is this one of those - they know he is toast so they are just going to assume he is out next year.

March 17, 20233 yr Unrelated to Lonzo. With Jordan selling his majority stake, there's part of me that wants to see the fantasy of Jordan owning the Bulls (and maybe Sox?) come to fruition. The other part of me wants to see him stay far, far away from owning either team. I only want him to exist as a player or minority owner for either franchise.

Jordan’s history as an owner doesn’t have great results on the court, so that would give me pause. But there is some level of appeal, in an ideal word, of having a mega icon wrestle the franchise from the miserly cheapskate and bring it back to international prominence. It’s romantic even. But just as fantastical unfortunately.

March 17, 20233 yr The way cartilage grows on in your knees I don’t think this is gonna be something that will allow him to every play professionally again.

You don't need to take a timeout to in bound the ball to DeRozan and have him ISO with zero off ball movement. He made a nice adjustment bringing in Williams to guard Maxey and bringing in DJJ for defense late won them the game.

Coby White is not a good defender

The reports from the current surgery make it sounds like it was a significant defect and had a MACI or OATS procedure which moves cartilage from one area to another.
