Julius Randle to have Surgery on foot

[MJ(Mean John)]

On foot that was talked about during draft time. It's to replace the screw that was inserted in his foot.


Wtf. Not looking good.

Naw, Calm down.

It's not his knees.

They are just taking advantage of the fact that he's out for a long time, to do some maintenance work on another body part that's ailing.

Foot injuries are just as worse as knee injuries, brah.

He looked fantastic in preseason too. I'm willing to bet he'd have won ROY if he'd been healthy.

LOL. Always knew this guy was a bust. SOOOO glad Orlando didn't pick him.

Rabble is arguably having a better rookie season than Payton

good. i was wondering if he was going to have that handled, since it was a question during draft time anyway. they said he'd play through it... but since he's sitting for the other injury he might as well get it taken care of.

Nah. Payton's stats are shitty but he has completely taken over games for the Magic at times. He's not a player you can look at the box score and see his impact yet. He'll be in the future, but not yet. He will no doubt be like a top 5 player in this draft.

ya, hopefully it's just a clean up. like a scoped knee...but even less intrusive. is there an article on it? foot injuries can be finicky so i need some reassurance

this... it's actually not even giving him a problem.. like you said just something that will have to be done in the future and since he's doing nothing now this is the perfect time to handle it

This isn't a problem since he's out anyway.

Even if he did bust (which I don't think will be the case), who could we have drafted instead? I was pretty pissed at the time, but it was a solid pick for our slot. Could be a decent player if he can stay on the floor..

Could also be some interesting trade bait if the lakers are able to sign Gasol or Love.

Any chance LMA is leaving? Not a terrible FA class tbh.
