Just imagine if Warriors somehow pulled a miracle trade by getting a healthy Bogut for Ellis. Then Bogut’s ankle was injured in the very first game of the season and he would be out for the season.

At least in the current situation, Bogut may hopefully have a chance to come back for the playoff (knock on wood…)

Marcus,

Can you please address who your “one source” is?

As you can tell its becoming a he said / she said with Bogut and ownership. But your “one source” leads me to believe that he heard this from Ferkel’s mouth that microfracture surgery was a non event.

And anyone who has had a broken bone knows, Doctors take the way way conservative route.

Just get him healthy. What other recourse do we have? Just get him healthy!

I guess the recurring question behind the scenes is this, What are the chances of getting a healthy, 100%, Bogut? and When? That is the question Fans are asking right now and the front office should be honest enough to address this! The No Time Table response is very unsettling… So unnerving.

…”If”?, that’s an “I wish” scenario…what about the numerous if not possibilities?…such as Bogut not able to meet expectations, hot & cold Warriors play or any of a number of reasons for underperforming like one more serious injury…good thing there’s more depth to this team but wishing & hoping is no substitute for consistent play from starters & bench…

Meanwhile, Monta is still pouring in the points and assists. He’s even d..ing it up. While watching klay and Stephan wondering if Monta was even the true defensive liability. Neither one of them can keep in front of their man and deny lanes. Neither of those guys can finish like Monta. If you want to get depressed watch some buck basketball.

This is just another Dubs disaster. Did you REALLY think he was ever going to be ok? Of course not (or at least not the people who have followed this poor excuse for a team over the past 35 years). And lying to the fans is NOT ok….many people spent a lot of money on season tickets based on Bogut being there. Owning a pro sports team is not like owning a butcher shop – there is a quasi public trust involved because of public money being used for arenas, etc……so lying is a serious thing – not just something ownership can choose to do or not

I hope that this is not another Ralph Samson all over again–gifted big man, washed up by a serios injury.

Chill out!! When it comes down to it, sports are just part of the entertainment complex & I tiny lie of omission isn’t “weapons of mass destruction.” Save this kind of outrage for something that actually matters.

I agree this is shady. They should have protected the player bottom line, which in turn would benefit the Warriors long term because A they would have a player back fully healthy and able to help them tremendously and B they would earn respect from other current and potential players that would see the Warriors as a class organization. Now they may have retarded his return the court by trying to rush things. Just ridiculous. They should have told the folks that shell out big bucks to support this team.

This is immoral to say the least.

They held the info so people would buy season tickets. Not knowning that Bogut was, most likely, out for an extended period.

That’s a shady move….
