Another estimation botched by the lakers medical team. “just 6 weeks”

the good news is, at this point he might hurt the groove of the rotation more than he might help (they do have Gasol and all - Viva Espana)

Let’s all hope Mountain Drew will come back next season and that he will keep on improving like he did this year.

Hey, what does Froggiestyle mean, a mix of French kissing and doggie style ?

I like the nickname gerard. Still, I don’t like the sound of that, especially when young, healthy guys are supposed to be ahead of schedule on tis kind of injuries. I hope the kid will be back soon at his best, I wanna see the lakers show with him back in the mix.

@ Ed - yep minus the kissing part - Frog in France. (PS fyi french kissing in french translates as “rolling shovels” …. ;0P)

Kid is going to be fine if he has a work ethic like Amare. He just has to work really hard to get back to 100 percent. Once he does, the Lakers will be the 2008-2009 champs as well as the 2007-2008 champs. Damn that’s good!

@DP: The diff between him and amare however is that they have those voodoo healers in PHX

Damn, that surgery is sucks. No exactly, the rehab sucks.

Benoit: Stoudemire had it too, and look how he came back!

If Drew was Jason Kidd’s age, I’d be worried but he’s only 20 yrs. old so I think he’ll be fine. Can’t wait to see these guys play together next year. Don’t worry Drew, your still getting a ring.

King David says:
It seems like he never played this year

I think Amare and Kidd had microfracture surgery, which, if I’m correct is a little more serious than arthroscopic.

Gotta agree with the first poster. Laker medical staff might have some competancy issues. Chris Mihm repeated ankle issues, Trevor Ariza finally coming back from a broken bone, Andrew Bynum has a “minor” knee injury that should take 6 weeks to heal. Here we are over 16 weeks later and NOW he’s having surgery?
