Interesting decision that Kevin Durant has in front of him

He'll 100% get a max deal
Dillinger
6/12/19 1:08pm
I agree and I think he will a year from now as well, but why take that risk?

6/12/19 1:09pm
What risk? He won’t play a single game between now and next summer.

Risk is that a year from now teams will want to see where he is at and how rehab

I see. Good point.

Knicks are in no position to be picky.
Dillinger
6/12/19 1:15pm
Exactly. If you are the Knicks and you haven't been relevant in nearly 15 years

If he opts in, wouldn't his max deal the next year be worth even more $$$?
a priori
6/12/19 1:15pm
But you take the risk of complications, etc .... that would be a big risk
Dillinger
6/12/19 1:15pm
I guess that depends on how confident he is about his recovery or how well his

Can anyone be confident in returning from an Achilles injury? People have done

Luckily for Durant his game isn't really based on athleticism.

He could be a Dirk Nowitzki type player without the athleticism, but

One of the few times TNT disagrees with mudpepper. For a 7'? Absolutely

I, too, must disagree (and agree with TNT, yikes)

Was Derrick rose’s injury an Achilles?

Rose's injury was a torn ACL and then meniscus damage

he'll stay with GS, whether its an extension for max or opt in. if he wants

You don't opt in. Go get a new deal. Playing on a 1 year opt in is too riskly unless he sits out all season
Grit for Brains
6/12/19 1:11pm
He will be out a full year
Medute

in that case great. Make GS continue to pay as much luxury tax as possible.

6/12/19 1:14pm
Opt in, see where the NBA goes in the next year, then sign max deal

Basically Dominique Wilkins is the sample of 1 of players to fully recover

sure, but so many others have had it when they were past their prime. i wouldn't
smokymountainrain
6/12/19 1:26pm
True, but there have been few stars with achilles injuries
kimdaddy35
6/12/19 1:32pm
I think he will sign a max deal and rehab with that teams medical staff

If he sits out a full year does make him eligible for rookie of year in 2021?
mudpupper
6/12/19 1:23pm
My guess is that he opts in and plays the market in 2020. He gets paid no

I can't believe they cleared him to play when he had ONE short practice (and

Then he would have injured it in the scrimmage. Not sure how that would have

Wasn't his initial injury the hamstring? Why would they foresee the AT injury?
Benfica1
6/12/19 3:13pm
It was a calf strain, but reporters noticed that he had tons of ice on his calf
Windward_Coug
6/12/19 3:17pm
Yes, it was Thompson that had a slight hamstring injury.
