And neither would anyone else. The problem now is that we have two seasons of Berry doing nothing to fix his Haglunds, just hanging about and acting like the condition is somehow going to magically clear up and go on its way. And then when he finally DOES play, its absolutely atrocious. The guy looks like he's running in mud on his way to the glue factory.
So rather than get surgery and spend all that down time rehabbing, we're now stuck with a guy that shows no signs of heading to the operating table, and whose play is not going to improve unless he does. And even then, his play may NOT improve if he were to get the surgery and then rehab for another 8 to 10 months due to all of the time he will have missed at that point!
It's a lose/lose for everyone. The only way to make anything resembling hay out of this mess is to do the June 1st cut and keep what we can.
