The odds of ever having a truly 'healthy' roster are pretty remote.
And ultimately I'm less and less inclined to believe that Thornhill will truly be 'back' at any point this year. ACL injuries are just pieces of shit because most of the time you have the lost season, then a 'return' season where you're not your full self. If you get one early in a year, it can really cost you two full seasons in some ways.
I'm betting Juan is full go for 2021 and as good/better than he ever was. But I think we're just gonna have to adjust to a slightly less explosive version of him this year. He's playing hard, but he's just not likely to be as dynamic this season.
Hopefully playing the season at 90% will make him a real animal next season at 100%. Playing w/ a governor only to have it removed the following year may make him a monster.

Bingo. But that’s what makes this last offseason so impressive.
Wharton, Danna, Sneed, CEH. Those guys appear to be hits and we haven’t even fully seen Gay or Niang. That’s just world class scouting.
On top of that the coaching is phenomenal. Tedric Thompson struggled in Seattle but he’s been a plus player here so far in a role that fits him well. Rashad Fenton looks better, mainly bc he seems to understand the game.
I can’t believe these guys man. We just need to enjoy this now bc Bieniemy and Daley aren’t staying long. I think we could lose both in February.
I’m just thankful that Spags is likely not getting any offers and loves his job.
