I don’t know if I even strained mine but once I did something to it and it hurt so bad. The only worse pain I’ve ever felt was a horrible ankle sprain I suffered in high school and being sick with H1N1 flu.

while having a pretty cushy life, I’ve had a concussion in football and had my tonsils out in my 30s.

Worst pain for me is easy. Kidney stones.

AD does this about once every 10 games. He's very prone to minor nagging injuries, but he usually doesnt sit long.

Though I’ll confess I don’t know what Toronto/Tampa is supposed to reference.

This was several years ago, but I watched him win the Oscar for most dramatic death ever. He fell down like his life was completely ****ing over, writhing, grabbing and clutching at his broken body. He literally get carried off the court, still pouring on the drama with immense pain expression.

5 min later he returns to the game and plays like nothing ever happened.

He's a weird dude. I think he must have like the lowest pain tolerance threshold of anyone coupled with a need for people to pay attention to his pain.

Or like everyone's body is different and he puts his through immense stress while having a giant body.
 
Why would anyone want AD to get injured? Jesus christ.

Do you want every team in the NBA to replaced by a G-League team so the Jazz can get a free championship?

The Jazz are front-runners now, we should welcome competition, not be afraid of it.

I think a lot of it is a response to the toxicity of Lakers fans. We probably shouldn't answer it with toxicity of our own though. . .

We kinda of want these guys to get traded to situations like Toronto. These are some of the high level buyout guys that end up in LA or Brooklyn that have impact. Get them in functional situations but not threatening situations.

Drummond is a great double agent. He could take out BKN from the inside.
 
Even if AD misses a moderate stretch (2-3 weeks), it is a good window for us. Hopefully that leads to 2-3 more L's for the Lakers and gives us a small bump in terms of capturing the #1 seed.

Not playing the Lakers or Clippers until the WCF would be massive. The Nuggets at 6 or 7 (i.e., the other side of the bracket) would just be icing on the cake.

Kinda like Dwight took out the Lakers last year?

I understand the narrative about Andre being disappointing but he’s a big dude and we haven’t seen him with anything but ****** teammates. If you go from Deandre to Andre that is an improvement imo. Clips and Lakers could both use another big body. I think the hate has gone too far with Drummond.
 
For anybody worried about an asterisk next to a Jazz championship should AD be out:

- There’s still an awful lot the Jazz would still have to accomplish. They’d still have to get past any combination of a Clippers team with two super stars, a Nugget team with Jokic, a Laker team still led by Lebron, and should we get out of the West, we’re most likely facing the newest “Super Team” in Brooklyn.

Nobody can put an asterisk next to this ****. Nobody.

Getting the first seed means we avoid Denver and one of the LAs

Drummond is not better at the things that BKN needs than Deandre Jordan. He's DJ if he thought he was Jokic. I don't think Drummond isn't going to go from 30% usage to 15% usage gracefully. He also isn't going to pick up defensive awareness and instincts that Dwight Howard used to win 4 DPOY's overnight. Personally, would be more worried if BKN got Khem Birch.

From everything I know about Drummond, he's actually a really high character guy who gets along with teammates. It's not a Dwightmare attitude problem. He's just not very good and is definitely not good at being a complimentary center.

He's never had anyone to compliment... what if he decides that because he is on a team with superstars that he should cut the bull ****. He's one of the best rebounders in the league and has been an impactful defender at times. He's talented and in his prime.

Talented at what? He’s a bad defender who jumps at everything. He’s a bad roll man. He consistently makes terrible decisions on both ends. I don’t believe you can just turn it on and suddenly become a smart player. He is a good rebounder, but I’m still struggling to understand how he is better than DJ in this environment.

I don’t see this as a situation where you’re putting a player into a smaller role where he can flourish. Offensively, sure, but I expect he cannibalizes the great players more than he helps. But defensively, his responsibility is enormous. You’re really asking Drummond to do more than he ever has and you’re asking him to excel at something he’s bad at.
