That really sucks. He's a huge part of yall's team, blocking shots, rebounding for all of your shooters, and playing great defense.
But with Bogut, I'm really surprised he played 67 games this season. He's one of the most injury-prone centers in the NBA since really 08-09. Putting a lot of faith and hope into such an injury-prone player at a crucial position is pressing it, for sure.
That's why I wasn't a huge fan of the Iggy signing. I thought it was a little too much money, and I already thought yall had an up and coming wing in Barnes on a great rookie contract. Now, Barnes doesn't get any minutes and has looked awful this season. I though that the Iggy money would have been better spent on some frontcourt depth in case Bogut went down and so Barnes could come into his own, on a great contract nonetheless.
The Iggy signing has hindered Barnes' development, I agree. But Iggy does do a lot for this team, too.
And while Bogut may be injury prone, this injury was a weird one. He got sandwiched pretty awkwardly the other night. It was just unfortunate.
Our ownership did try desperately to get Dwight Howard to solidify the frontcourt, and we also had DeAndre Jordan signed to an offer sheet as well, before the Clips matched it.
Festus Ezeli was supposed to be back in December, i'm not sure what's happening with his recovery...
