[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1071313, member: 18006"] i think the subtext here is that the fluid was not "the" problem; it was simply a symptom of the larger overall problem - which could very well be that his knee is just shot; tha there are a number of structural issues that could be at fault. You're right, if fluid in the knee is the whole issue, than yeah - draining it should solve it. But if it [I]doesn't[/I] solve it, then that very likely means the fluid itself was only a small part of a much larger issue. Could be many things, but chronic ligament and/or cartilage damage, early arthritis, and perhaps most importantly, repetitive stress on a joint that's been overstressed - and overstressed to a great degree. I've had knee problems many times, I learned a lot about this - a trampoline accident in college, several hockey/football injuries in high school and college, and now in my 60s basketball and overuse injuries. I know a lot about knees, and I've been "tapped" and drained several times. I (and my knees) are 40 years older than he and [I]his [/I]knees. If he's having this much trouble with his knees at this age, and my knees are in much better shape in my late 60s, he's got some serious knee issues. I know that sometimes I'm the first one to jump ahead and predict that something is going to end up being a worst-case outcome, and I sound like a Cassandra, but I think I'm right. I think we sold high, and the Baltimores got fleeced. I hate to say it, because I love Jaire, and have been a fan of his ever since his college days. But sometimes, when it's over, it's all the way over right away. And there are a lot of indicators that suggest that that's what is happening here. More and more, I think the poor bastard is done, but he doesn't wanna give it up this easily. And the team that just signed him to a significant contract doesn't either. I get that he doesn't want to give up yet - he's an elite, intensely competitive athlete, and does not want to give uo on that in his 20s. I get it. But I think at some point this season, and probably fairly early on, there'll be an announcement. [/QUOTE]
