LosingEffort 149 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) I just drafted him Now I'll try to trade, I don't think we'll see him so much in the court this season.. Elbow injuries in the shooting arm are a nightmare (remember Batum last year) Trust me, consider him like out for season Meanwhile pick up Bobby Portis if you can Edited September 29, 2018 by LosingEffort Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As Lauri is the cornerstone of this franchise he will most certainly be held out until he is back to 100%. Hold onto him for sure this dude will have an easy 19-7 season with 2.5 threes when he gets back! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I was trying to say Recover at 100% from an elbow injury in the right arm needs a lot of time He's clearly the franchise player but like Porzingis I don't think he will be back soon... Plus, Chicago doesn't need to win (like the Knicks..) So I fear also if he's back around december there will be minute restrictions and rest days Edited September 29, 2018 by LosingEffort Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I fear also if he's back around december there will be minute restrictions and rest days To fully recover it takes 6 weeks (for the full scar tissue maturation) and if you add maybe 3 weeks onto that for his conditioning to get back (which is max time for conditioning to get back for a player out that long) he is back around Christmas which leaves him with over half the season to play. So no he will not be back soon and if he does return around Christmas like you said he will play. So do not consider him out for the whole year, he will be a great fantasy player this year.

Maaaan you don't know what you're talking about, do you ? He has a upper body injury... his conditioning will be just fine... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I said that it takes 3 weeks for conditioning to get back to normal after that time off MAX (not that injury, that time). 6 weeks off for an elbow injury will certainly not affect his stamina etc. I agree that his conditioning will be fine, he will be back firing bombs in no time! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chud12 4,076 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Where is everyone targeting him in leagues with IR spots or even without them. Obviously a nice discount now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dino10k 74 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I only play Dynasty Leagues so this injury doesn't mean much to me. I don't have him on any of my teams but if I did I wouldn't worry too much about it. Maybe I'll try and swindle some poor owner into taking this guy off his hands. Dynasty player for the next 10 years is better than being without for the next 6 weeks. If I were in a re-draft league, I would not panic either. Just ride it out. He'll be back soon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gile Pile 1,206 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I have him in a 3 keeper H2H league as one of the keepers. No need to panic, he is still franchise cornerstone and should be back to 100% around Christmas at the latest. All I need to do is draft both Portis and WCJ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crazybob60 192 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 So...in non-IR leagues, where is he going for most people? Just trying to get a gauge on what round he has been going in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StifleTower2 2,525 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I was going to keep him in a four keeper auction league for $12 (gambled last season on him and it paid off). But now I’m keeping Love for twice the price who was also undervalued last season. Lauri isn’t really a cant miss prospect even when healthy as there are many similar players such as Saric. In redraft I’m not gambling on him as it’s a very concerning injury so even if he comes back healthy to start the new year will he be 100%? And I wasn’t expecting anything more than 16/8 with 2 threes and weak stocks anyway which would put him top 75. If you cut the 75th players value in half you get someone you can barely spend a last round flyer on or spend a few dollars on in auction to stash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
