The Suns are having lots of injuries this off season which require surgery including Reed, Knight, Dudley, Ulis and Williams.

Probably missing someone.

It looks like the Suns will need Len.

 

[Carolinacacti]

So is Len a Restricted FA next year? Big if but he might have a good year.

If the one-year tender offer is all he and the Suns wind up with, he'll be unrestricted next summer.

Time to tank

Guess it depends on how much is torn and and if it's stitched or snipped.

Ugh. Bad break for him, and now the Suns are horribly soft in the middle again. Bender may turn out to be some sort of serviceable player -- I doubt it, but it's possible -- but he's never going to be the physical presence that Williams is.

What's the latest on Larry Sanders?

I'm wondering if Williams had meniscus repaired or removed like Bledsoe.

It might be true, but he is only 19 and his body has not even filled out.

 

[SirStefan32]

Six months for a torn meniscus? I am no big-city doctor, but that doesn't seem right.

Well, I think everyone would acknowledge that, but I think the point is that Williams is built like a tank. There is no amount of filling out that's gonna turn Bender into anything resembling Williams.

Luckily the Suns have Bennett.

The Suns are due some luck. It would be awesome if the light suddenly came on for him.

Can we ban everyone from pickup games for the remainder of the offseason now?

They keep saying 'repaired'. What i was told after my knee (acl and meniscus) was that a repair is stitched and you cant be weight bearing until it heals. He might be no weight bearing for a month.

I still wish they'd find a home for Chandler someplace and see if that made a positive impact on Len. It may be too late but people do react differently when they are being depended on and with Williams out, Len becomes the de facto starter. I certainly wouldn't give odds that it would happen but I think there is a chance...

What you say makes some sense.

Only my thoughts but I think a repair is likely to take more time to heal thus the reason Williams will be out longer. Again, just a guess.
