What's up with Memo?

Has anyone heard any reports about Memo and his injury? This a long time to be out with a back "strain". I suspect it must be worse, maybe a disk problem.
 
Backs are tricky and different every time you hurt them and different for every person as well.

I have a bad back. Sometimes when I hurt it I'm better within hours sometimes it bothers me for a month. On what feels like the same injury at the time it happens.
 
I suspect his back was aggravated by trying to take it easy on his achilles. They should just write him off this year and tell him to come back ready to play whenever the next season is.

I agree. He needs to get himself right. These injuries he is suffering since his Achilles kind of indicates that he is not entirely over his injury. Get right then comeback. We do not need him at less than 100%.
 
I hate to say it, because ive been a big fan of memo since he's been in utah, but i think his career may be over. Even if he does come back, im not sure if he will be as good as he was before the injuries. Jazz are in some trouble right now...
 
The timetable was 3 weeks and I think that was 2 weeks ago.

And I not only thought the extension was a terrible idea the second it came down, I also said Memo rushing back would probably do nothing but hurt himself and the Jazz. Looks like I'm right twice.

But I've also been wrong plenty.

They said he had a bulging disc(s). That can take awhile if it's pressing on the nerve.

That is what I suspected. Not good. Not necessarily career ending but then again it could be. He should just give up on trying to get back this year and give that disk time heal if it can.
 
As I've said for over 2 years now:

Mehmet Okur is GARBAGE.

He was incredibly mediokur to begin with. Was never a fan. As others have said, "trade Memo for a box of peanuts." Yeah, the other team is getting screwed, but we get something to snack on while also getting rid of that garbage. Win-win.
 
...what's up with Memo? Let me count the ways! He's slow, overpaid, can't jump, can't defend, his shot has gone south, he's got a bad back, he's got a bad achiles....an untradeable contract.....and a low tollerance for pain! He's bascially a white elephant, an albatross, a millstone around our neck! One thing I like about him? Few, if any.....jailhouse tats!

I dislike every single one of your posts and you irritate me to no end. I've also neg repped you plenty of times, but that deserves a pos rep. Congrats for breaking the streak.
 
Here's something memo can do that most other jazz players can't: make a shot from 8 feet out and longer. I thought he was starting to look promising before the back issue, now I don't know if he'll ever be right again. Which is really sad to me. I root for him to get well.
 
Other than a healthy DWill, Memo is the best jump shooter on the Jazz roster. His defense against bigger Centers is also better than anyone else on the current Jazz roster. No, he's not a shotblocker or quick enough to guard quicker players, but does impede guys from camping out in our paint for easy shots. Not a bad set of attributes; we sure could use him on the court.
 
If he really is done, which I fear is the case, and only has next year left on his deal, can we buy him out if he retires, or how does that work?
