Thanks for pushing to link this to an old thread so I had to read through pages of speculation and nonsense before Gilmore's injury when all I wanted to see was the official announcement and fellow fan reaction. You seem to be one of the chief thread police on the board from what I have seen which is why I'm directing to you.
...like when Mario was signed and the official announcement and reaction started on page 100 something!
Please start new threads when major topics change for those of that are not on the board all day hitting refresh, but come to the board daily (for well over a decade now!). Speculation in one thread, then "it's official and react" in another
