What Boogies timetable to return from the Achillies injury
I broke it down like this in the FA thread way back, but here you go.
Estimated Timeline:
Quote:
After either type of Achilles tendon tear surgery, you will likely wear a cast or walking boot, for 6 to 12 weeks. At first, the cast or boot will keep your toes pointed downward as the tendon heals from the Achilles tendon rupture surgery.
It is then gradually adjusted until your foot is in a neutral position. This will require you to be non-weight bearing, which means you have to stay off of the leg and not walk on it.
Your doctor will advise how long you will be non-weight bearing depending upon various factors. During your non-weight bearing period, it’s essential that you do not put any weight on your injured foot.
Once the cast is removed, the initial therapy is passive exercises to regain mobility in the ankle joint. After several weeks, more strenuous resistance exercises are incorporated. This is then followed by gait training exercises after about two to three months following the initial treatment. Return to routine activities usually occurs at four to six months. The recovery phase is dependent on the patient's motivation, desired activity levels, and the quality of the physical therapy program.
That's 3 months time to workout and take part in training camp for Cousins.
The NBA season Ends June 17th at latest this season
Essentially via the timeline, Cousins will miss the first month of the off-season, and be back to physical activity 3 months before the season begins.
Comparison to Kobe's injury/timeline:
Kobe's injury happened April 12th
Kobe returned from that injury to play professional basketball again December 9th
May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
That was a 8 month area, that is including the period of time he was in the walking boot.
Why did I black out September? Because September was the month where Kobe was a few weeks away from running full boar at full speed and with no setbacks and ready to establish true basketball activities. That was at the 5 month mark.
DeMarcus Cousins got hurt in January
February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September
Note: Kobe was doing physical activitiesmonths before he returned in December. He was just back to ready to play NBA basketball by December. That is why I marked September. Same time period for Cousins would be June, just at the end of the NBA season where he'd be a few weeks away from running full boar and partaking in physical activities..
So essentially 4-6 months.. just like was said about the usual recovery period.
So let's use this same period of time with Cousins, that means he'd be at the same point of playing "NBA basketball" by September, which it would be the entire month before "pre-season" were to begin. He'll have been able to go into working out again in June'ish and July at latest which is a full few months before pre-season comes into fruition.
So what you're looking at right now is if we look at that time period, Cousins at worst wouldn't play the first few pre-season games not because he wasn't able to participate in practice, but to get him completely ready.
He WOULD however be ready likely near the end of pre-season and would/should definitely be ready by the season opener.
The benefit of breaking it down this way, is seeing that Kobe's recovery wasn't an "anomaly" in terms of the time it takes to recover, it was around the standard.
So if we hold Cousins to the standard recovery time, he should be ready to go by the start of the season barring any setbacks. Anything longer, barring any setbacks, would just be the team he's with being cautious and careful and probably getting him in more practices. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Cousins made it clear a few years ago he wanted LA....this doesnt suprirse me at all...from what I have been seeing and hearing....it could happen...
This article was from last february...but goes to show you hes always wanted Lakers and he may be willing to give discount if JAMES and/or George come....
Quote:
“Jarinn Akana and Dan Fegan, who represent Cousins, they did their job here, which was to — and this also complicated what they could get in a trade — Jarinn came out publicly last night and privately they told teams, ‘If you trade for Cousins, we’re telling you, he may not stay. He may nor re-sign with you. The Lakers are going to have a lot of cap space again potentially in a couple years. He could go to L.A. as a free agent. He might not stay in New Orleans or he might not stay in Phoenix or anywhere else...’
He might be worth the vet minimum if Lopez doesn't come back. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God. And people who would be happy in heaven if Christ were not there, will not be there."

Thanks for the info, I am still tentative of Boogie though this is one of the hardest injuries to comeback from in any sport _________________ We'll be back better than ever

he should just sign with the Warriors for the taxpayer MLE for 1 year....come back around February/March....get a ring...prove he is back....and hit the market in 2019.
Despite Cousins coming off a Achilles injury, he is still the superior center compared to Lopez... so I am fine getting him as long as it’s not Mozgov type money.

I'm down.
Renounce Julius.
Then have Cousins come over on a 1 year deal at $10M.
Cuz Cousins loves the Lakers and it's a prove it year for him.
He re-signs next year for his max.
2 year deal no brainer. Lakers will need a bad ass like this. Confident he’ll fall in line with a leader like LeBron. Wouldn’t have had a chance to afford him without the injury. Got to take advantge.

not unless Lebron is in that locker room....simply cannot have Cousins as the alpha in the locker room with our young guys
