Not good.
Will he end up being this season's Calderon, or Bargs? Hope not.
He showed signs of breaking down last year. Personally, I would have him as our sixth man- easier for him to get into the swing of things, less disruptive and we need another scorer for when Melo is on the bench
He'd be more of a featured scorer with the second unit...I expect that if he comes back sooner rather than later, though, they'll want him on the first unit because if he's playing well he can take some attention away from Anthony.
If he's coming back slower though, and the team is doing OK with whomever they replace him with, I expect that they would put him on the second unit. Still sucks, though. Only glitch in the pre-season so far.
Expected Calderon to get hurt again early on, not AA.
EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?
