kerr is right. he should’ve just shut the fuck up.

The code had been restored

Maybe it’s cause I haven’t had my coffee yet or I’m a bit dim but I read this five times and I’m still confused.  

Does he have it or not? Because by his own admission he does. 

And Kerr talking about this so openly is definitely bizarre. Is the implication that Porzingis is… lying? Or his doctors told him a lie?

We have one of the dumbest front offices in the league. We’d rather trade a 23 yr old who could’ve played for a 30 yr old with a chronic disease who can’t play.

So will KP actually play another game or did they just trade JK for free?

Well, I certainly feel vindicated about mocking him for making those comments.

Regardless whether it’s POTS or not I’m sure KP was less than pleased with Kerr’s statement the other day

I think he retires soon (within 1-2 years). Could be at the end of this season. And I don’t think it will be his choice. No team will give him a spot.

There’s so much misunderstanding on POTS in general I wish people wouldn’t speak on it unless they truly knew…

For some perspective I myself have POTS I’m 34 but I also have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which I found out about after telling my latest PT and ortho I’ve had roughly 40-50 shoulder subluxations sometimes just from sitting up too fast from getting out of bed. That being said I have hyper mobile EDS which is just one of the types of the genetic disorder. In having genetic EDS I have what’s called the “trifecta” which has includes POTS and MCAS which affects literally every system in my body.

The lack of knowledge for POTS where I live is so scarce it’s taken me a full calendar year to finally see my cardiologist who happens to be the person who wrote the white papers on POTS.

Post Viral POTS is possible for those after 30 and can be triggered by things like COVID or RSV. That being said if you have developed POTS regardless of the origin, any coinciding infection completely floors you. I just got out of the hospital with colitis and I didn’t even know it was colitis because I just felt like shit and was forced to go the the hospital again from an autonomic flare up which leaves me hella dehydrated and with some insane vertigo.

Speculating on Kristaps’ health in one tid bit of a conversation with the GM of a team he had a very short stint with is a little reckless imo, we’re not talking about like a hamstring or anything. If he has it his whole nervous system is fucked and you can’t even really test for it if you’re in shape. I failed my tilt table test because my heart is constantly in bradycardia because I was a hurdler when I was young so I can regulate my heart after the spike but still get insane dizziness.

Idk if anyone will care for this information but this is coming from someone who deals with this shit daily so do with it what you want.

Kerr saying anything about this is in the first place was just incredibly dumb, but then again some people on here believed an NBA Coach knew more about a player’s illness than the player himself.

I think he must have Long Covid or chronic Lyme or one of those other debilitating, impossible to accurately diagnose conditions  that people struggle with for years. It would account for why he of the team think it’s one thing then another or maybe disagree internally about what it actually is.

why did kerr even think it was a good idea to say that on a radio station? it was already established that KP is sick, that was an idiotic move

also i don’t think it’s a big deal that the warriors traded for him knowing it’s not pots, either way the warriors would’ve known he’s sick and isn’t likely to play much

It’s sad but if he can’t play then he should retire

The fact that he actually broke the code is some incredible payoff to 2 separate Kerr moments

Man I thought it was just the dubs fanbase that hates kerr. Apparently everyone does lol

Is it just me or is Kerr getting dumber with age?

So it’s a salary dump

Hawks got Kuminga for free lol

Fuck man this org sucks at everything right now. Every empire falls.

Idk how any athlete doesn’t go crazy having to hear people constantly questioning and analyzing their health and everything they do. I’d go scorched earth if I was ever in that situation. He’s a human being bro, not some lab specimen. Imagine if everywhere you went the first question out of peoples mouth is “hey man are you still dying or battling that fucked up thing in your body?” Instead of hello lol I’d call up Wayne Brady to smack a bitch

RFK Jr. snorting a line of coke from the toilet while eating some ferments: “Don’t believe big POTS kids!”

Sean Payton moment

Kerr is honestly a douchebag

Mike Dunleavy Jr is what LA fans think Pelinka is

Ahhh a different version of “I didn’t see it”

Soooo the Warriors have knowingly taken on the contract of a medical anomaly that cannot play basketball due to a condition so rare and unstudied that there’s debate about whether the disease even exists.

I think the confusion may come from the fact that POTS is a syndrome and not a disease. The difference: A disease is a medical condition with a known, specific cause (pathogen, genetic defect) and defined symptoms. A syndrome is a collection of signs and symptoms that tend to occur together, but often without a single known cause or clear pathophysiology.

So why did they trade for a dude who medically can’t play?

The thing with POTs is there are doctors and specialists who don’t acknowledge it. Either they don’t believe it’s real or call it something else like Long Covid or Post Viral Syndrome. Maybe thats what prompted Kerr? Regardless KPs symptoms are real and he’s not really improving.

Just say it’s long covid holy shit

To be honest I’m a bit surprised in the era of “transparency” (mostly for gambling) teams don’t have to be a little more specific about injuries. “Sick” especially for something that seems chronic doesn’t seem like it’s enough information.

One, if he is so severely ill that he likely will never be a full-time NBA player again, I wish him not but a healthy recovery! Yes, of course the money and fame are nice, but health is more important.

Two, may 29 other teams view how the Warriors handled Kuminga for YEARS and vow to never repeat that gameplan.

I’m not a big Kuminga fan or anything. I laugh when I read or hear about him getting \(150-\)200 million.

But, what was the actual point to play games with him for so long? That didn’t do anything to better the franchise. And the ultimate payoff was getting a player in his 30s that has a chronic medical condition (not injury, but medical condition) that is going to prevent him from ever playing full-time again.

Just terribly bad planning.

It’s long Covid, just say it

Likely post Covid complications developed dysautonomia which causes PoTS like symptoms he’s probably hypermobile which makes it more complicated

Man, Steve Kerr really doesn’t know how to shut up.

He thinks he’s justified because he’s so “honest.”

Kerr is as clueless as ever.

For everyone in here saying “HIPAA???”, that act specifically covers healthcare providers, insurers, and clearinghouses. While an employer may run afoul of HIPAA violations, it generally comes down to whether any disclosures by them are entangled or obtained in the records or establishment of records provided by any of the above.

Kerr, as a coach, shooting off about KP’s publicly-known condition - one Kerr, his coaching staff, other players, and KP regularly talk about outside of hospital or insurance matters - isn’t protected by HIPAA. It’s just a dick move.

Did he finally watch the tape?

And people on this sub still complain when coaches don’t answer questions related to injury or availability.

Should he be like hospitalized? He’s been sick for three years. Shouldn’t somebody be studying him?

It’s probably an auto immune disorder and Kristaps doesn’t want to make it public.

How many more teams are gonna acquire Porzingis thinking their medical and PT teams can turn him back into a functional player? It’s not gonna happen. He is damaged goods, but what a talent!

As someone with pots, I can’t imagine being a basketball player and having to run around the court at an all star level. I have next level fatigue just getting up and cooking a meal. He’ll, I have it bad today and I’ve done nothing of note

Fucking dunce

Just say he’s got long covid?

👀

It’s Groats

Kerr needs to leave the Warriors’ organization and Draymond needs to hit the bench or simply go somewhere else. The Warriors organization is a total dumpster fire.

That’s a great way to connect with a new addition to the roster!

KPots

No HIPAA training for Hawks?

Hippa?

kerr is right

What’s really weird is, Draymond kinda slipped and said the same thing on his podcast earlier this week, that it wasn’t POTS that was causing this absence. So Kerr didn’t just make this up on his own. 

And he’s collecting a nice paycheck.

Steve be talking about a lot of shit that’s way beyond his “capabilities”. Bro is a yapper.

Traded Kuminga for a hypochondriac

Steve Kerr is a good man, anti-Trump, etc. Obviously Porzingis’ medical condition should be kept

Poor zingis

Kerr is HIPAA father

So you traded for kp who is sick ? What happened to medicals

Steve Kerr is consistently wrong and insufferable about it ²⁴⁄₇

Hilarious if they got warriors to trade for him off of “nah bro, it’s totally not POTS, its some other shit, thats all rumors.”

lol it’s covid, y’all are just too pussy to say so
