JC Tretter Had Surgery

[pbmax]

Another setback this week so he had surgery Thursday apparently.

This was his second setback (he had been practicing fully at one point) since his knee injury. So it would seem likely they were very familiar with whatever damage he was trying to rehab from, but it was never going to respond this season after the second setback.

Which raises the question, if the injury was a month of rehab without setbacks, would he have been better served by having surgery earlier?

Soft!

A tough player would have healed without resorting to surgery.

well that should hold his FA price down.

I suspect this is similar situation to Montgomery last year - keep hoping for progress but finally give up and shut him down. Surprised they waited this long, they must've really thought he was going to be ok for the playoffs.

Backup center is Barclay?

Backup to the backup. Yes.

No, Lang would move to center I believe. Barclay would play guard.
