Diable

There was never any possibility of May getting traded.He needed microfracture surgery at the end of last season and they've spent the intervening time trying to avoid it by keeping him on crutches.

That trade rumor never made any sense because May was injured and he couldn't have passed a physical.In hindsight he obviously should have went ahead with the surgery last year,although he still would have missed the vast majority of this season.I suspect that he believed microfracture surgery would have ended his career,and that seems quite possible at this point.
