I think it would make Gasol's job a whole lot easier. The way the medical staff has handled this really makes me upset. I understand that they didn't want to rush him back, but once they knew he was not going to make it they should have went ahead and put him under the knife. Recovery could have started a whole lot earlier. I just think back to watching him in his last game when he put up 25 and 17 and thinking that he has a chance to be a star in the league. He still does, but he could play a significant role for this team right now.
