That's good news to me.
I would say he's a lock to get a TC invitation for next season. |

| I think Kobe-clone Laron will be next season, even PJ likes his game and easily adapts in the triangle. We can waive Mckie for Laron while the other scrubs (Puke,Sasha) can be traded to a decent PG. Mihm and DG can be traded for KG, another pipe-dream! |

it won't physically happen. the achilles tendon rupture rehab takes a while. fortunately for laron, he is relatively young.
he had a nice first step (which involves the gastrocnemius/soleus muscle group, among other lower extremity muscle groups). yes, this muscle converges onto the achilles tendon.
we can't expect too many miracles in ONE season (e.g. ronny turiaf, that confounds the heck out of many of my colleagues (not just me)).
early next season on the safe side with; probably on IR until mid-season, next year (to be really safe). |
Wouldn't there be different degrees of severity for an achilles rupture? All the reports have been general in stating that it is a rupture and none that I have seen have discussed severity. |

I'm just curious why the LAKER (AM570, FSN, KCAL 9)media hasn't mentioned how important Profit was coming off the bench?
And now no mention of him starting to practice. |

Maybe so the Lakers don't get any competition to sign him in the off-season?

| nice to read that. Mitch has a tendancy to get the right "throw-in" when he makes his trades. First JJ, then Laron. |

Well, here's hoping we don't allow him to get away like JJ and then have Phillip say, "we didn't know how good he was". What an indictment there. Anyway, every player can't be KJ, McGrady, you need these types of guys...the Laron Profits of the world who are clearly comfortable in their "own" skin and can simply ball. Not guys preoccupied with what Kobe is doing or not...guys who just "play". Laron strikes me as that kind of dude...his tenacity reminds me of Fox, but his demeanor is all Big Shot Rob. He can just play ball and don't give a &(*^% does his thing, team guy, plays the game, goes home. I miss him and our team missed him this year. He was undoubtedly a calming force in that second unit and actually could score against the shot clock when the other yahoo's stalled the ball movement. Hope we find a way to keep him.

How could the injury affect his first step?
I hope he is brought back next season, he is the backup SG that we had hoped Rush could become.
