Just what I thought... (that we wouldn't be seeing him until New Years at the earliest.)

Woohoo glad we don't have Brandon Roy! :dry:

Question: "Hey Antoine Walker, why do you shoot so many 3's?"

Answer: "Because there are no 4's."

I know it's only been 1 and 1/2 games with the supposed \"new rotation/lineup\", but if the Wolves continue what they've done with the Bassy/Marko continuum it will set back Foye's development subsequent to the injury healing.

I'll be more convinced with the new lineup if they keep playing tough, but a nice comeback against the Hawks and a win against the Suns is impressive.

Here's an email response from my buddy Benny Gunnzz responding to the Foye injury news post today:

This sounds like CHRONIC knee problems. I got about 3/1 odds that he returns before the All Star Game. How does it take more than 2 months for a pre-fracture to heal when actual fractures can heal in 6 weeks? “Good news, there’s healing going on.” That’s the sugar coat job to end all sugar coat jobs. Hey, a 23 year old professional athlete is healing slower than an 85 year old, obese, diabetic, smoking, depressed, morphine addict, but hey, at least his fracture that isn’t there is healing, sort of. Maybe he, McCants and Ratliff can hold “coping with injuries and them stunting or ending our career” retreats. One thing I do like is that they are brining McCants off the bench. Bring on the lottery.

Lol... harsh, but good points.

Yuck. Maybe I should get rid of him on my Western Conference Only Keeper Auction Fantasy Basketball Team. My whole bench is injured right now (Foye, Bibby, Wiggle, Peja).

I'm not sure why we all want to pretend that we didn't enjoy Foye last year. Very few people lamented trading him for Roy (Maybe you did CW). I didn't. I still think he did as well as Roy did, he just played fewer minutes. Now Perhaps I'll regret it at the end of this year as this season ending sore knee injury continues to persist. However, until then, I'll focus my bashing to the Wolves front office, mgmt, and coaching again. How do you mishandle these things over and over? Why treat the fans like they are stupid? Tell the truth about his injury.

Hope Marko keeps it up, we still are the most shorthanded team in the league...

Yeah, actually I did... you are correct. I think I've been solid on my stance every since we swapped for Foye, so in some respect I think I can complain about it as much as I want. If I'm wrong and Foye turns out to be a star, well then everyone can have at me.

I do agree with your assessment of the front office though. They obviously deserve the most of our collective scorn and wrath.

I've taken the same stance on the Roy/Foye situation since day 1 and it's the same as College Wolf's. Almost every draft analysis had Brandon Roy pegged as THE guy that could contribute to an NBA game right away. I do not understand why front offices always have to entertain the \"high ceiling\" argument. Can anyone seriously argue that Foye has a higher ceiling than Brandon Roy? Perhaps he's faster, but he has a less reliable jump shot, his passing game isn't as mature, and he's undersized for his position...although he might not fit the definition of any position.

On top of all that, Brandon Roy was the contributing answer to \"what can you do for KG right now to help him out\" question. That's the problem when people pick apart a player's potential ceiling. When Shane Battier came out of college, was there much room for him to improve? Not really, however, he was already in the position to contribute meaningful minutes on offense and defense to make an immediate impact. There's more players in the league that reached a lower ceiling and stuck around the NBA to have careers than there are talents that got taken for their potential ceiling and phased/are phasing out.
