It wasnt torn before he stepped on court.
That's a real bummer for all sorts of people.
Yup. Like ESPN experts reiterated...it changes the dynamics of the NBA.
Respect is overratedIt sure does. A great player shot down in his prime, it's a fucking shame but if it always was an achilles issue (I have no idea) then he in no way, shape or form should have been out there after 1 practice.. I always privately thought he was a pussy but he gained my respect last night.

He may have had a strained Achilles before, no way was he playing with a torn Achilles or would he be cleared.
Most likely he didn’t stretch out the Achilles well enough with bad luck. It’s a 6-8 month recovery. He’ll have to be careful not to snap the other one (very common)I can't imagine it either, maybe a "sore achilles" or strained like you said but then again, you don't fuck around w/ achilles issues, Finals or not. I think it's a case of bad luck stemming from residual calf issues. It has to be, right? I mean unless he had a sore achilles and was told it was just going to be a pain management issue and not an structural one.... which it turned out to be.
how much money did Durant just lose ? The knicks don't want him anymore.
Could this be Cousins 2.0? But Cousins suffered his injury in January of 2018, so he had a full year before he returned. He's probably going to have to miss entire 2019-20 season then see how the market shapes up.
When the Cubs traded for Chapman in 2016, they rode him hard knowing they probably weren’t resigning him.The big question is if GSW had Durant locked up for 5 years would they have cleared him to play?
This is very reminiscent of Kawhi's situation last year. He told management FU I'm not ready to play and
then heard all the rumblings in the background what a pussy he was. Durant succumbs to pressure and
look what we have.
agree. I don't think players are ever the same after this. Sure he will play again but not at the same level. It is better he is a big guy not a guard. Yes will miss the entire year.
So you would have no problem paying him $30 Mil+ per season?If anyone can "easily" overcome it, its Durant.
He doesnt need quickness or much elevation to score. He can get his shot off anytime he wants
So you would have no problem paying him $30 Mil+ per season?
