This also messes up my plans for stopping GS.I figured Gay would get bought out after the Kings were unable to move him at the trade deadline. Then he'd sign with the Clips, and add some talent and depth to their lineup as they are incredibly weak at SF.I think a healthy LAC against GS would be a very good series as the teams stand now, adding in Rudy Gay would have only helped (unless the curse of him is real). The last Western Conference team to beat GS in the playoffs was LAC in '14 in a pretty good 7 game series. Sure, GS has rattled off 7 straight wins against them and are 8-1 since that playoff loss, but most of those had been pretty close and 3 were without Blake Griffin. I want to see those 2 teams grind it out in the playoffs again.Of course as the Kings hung in contention for the 8th seed, the odds of buying him out probably decreased, so this probably wasn't happening anyways. It was my vision at the start of the season though. Seemed pretty plausible at the time.

So his carreer is definitely in bad shape.And that's just to get back on the court. He will likely never fully regain his athleticism.

What's the time table on his return?
This is rather unfortunate for my fantasy team. Otherwise, quite inconsequential.

He will likely never fully regain his athleticism.That may have been true 10 years ago, but I think recovery from Achilles today is more optimistic. Wasn't there an athlete who came back full strength from two Achilles tears? May have been another sport (NFL?)
Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples while judging ourselves by our best intentions.
