re: EG back in LA for his knee to be examined

I think you're missing the point by thinking I'm attacking Monty. Saying it's remarkable (admittedly in a bad way) and saying it's his fault are 2 different things. At that point in time I'm not even sure if our medical staff was involved. According to that TP article Gordon thought the team was out to screw him when one of the doctors suggested he needed microfracture surgery. He started seeing his own doctors after that. I think most of this is on Gordon because of a combination of his personality and thinking the team was out to get him, but Demps/Monty never embraced him like you'd expect a team to do with it's highest paid and highest profile player. If CP3 had still been around, would you expect Monty to not realize if he was about to miss most of the season? I sure would expect him to have a clue about the health of his star player. This whole Gordon situation has gone horribly wrong since day 1, and I think most of the blame goes on Gordon, that still doesn't make it any less remarkable that a head coach gets blindsided by the injury situation of his highest paid player.

I think both Monty and Dell have shown their lack of experience in the way they have handled the Gordon situation. It has been nothing shy of embarrassing and somewhat unprofessional.

There's nothing to worry about, it's almost like a sprain...

Gordon began experiencing tendinitis problems in his left knee during a March 21st game against the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena. He was forced to leave the game in the first quarter and did not return.

''It's not like something that's going to keep on going for a long time,'' Gordon said last week. ''It's almost like a sprain, but I just got to monitor it and keep on exercising.''

Glad he's alright. We're going to need him healthy if there's any chance of him being moved.

I'm assuming he figures we should've let Phoenix sign him.

Sports fans: where "if I were the GM I never would've made move X because hindsight" happens.
