Damian Lillard had surgery on his Achilles on May 2nd. The NBA RTP timeline typically lands ~ 10-12 months post-surgery. Most (not all..i.e.Durant) players have some performance drop. So if he joins the Warriors, he could theoretically be playing in March / April. #DubNation

Kevon Looney overcame multiple severe hip injuries to play 290 straight games. He was a steadying presence for the team. He won 3 NBA rings. He did all the dirty work. He never complained. He shut down Sabonis. He rebounded like no other. We will miss him. #DubNation

This is then point in free agency when Warriors fans try to convince themselves (including me) that the 9th man on someone’s bench will lead the team to a championship.

On Steph: “He's working his tail off every day. He's in here eight, nine hours a day, working, doing what he can to try to get back.”
