 We're an incredibly reactionary society these days and we act like a foot injury means we got to dig this kid a grave a put a fork in him.  Literally every single able bodied human being has the potential to correct health issues, especially at such a young age.  Some more than others sure and like I said, if we weren't in rebuilding mode then I'd probably be looking to maximize value but that's pretty far from the case.

What you call "reactionary" is - imo - simply a case of accepting what's been staring us in the face for a LONG time. At some point, it's time to admit that what we have is what we have. It is what it is. 

It would be reactionary if this was the first time Lively was injured and it was a minor bump or bruise. But we are a LONG WAYS from that. It's actually been true for a LONG time that Lively seems to be made of glass. For me, I've been wary of Lively's persistent injury record for at least a year -- and that year was just more of the same. It's this injury after the last one after the one before that after the one before that -- and on and on and on. In fact, this is how many separate injuries just this calendar year? 3? 4? 5? I'm losing count. In addition (and perhaps important to some) foot injuries on players who are big and players whose games depend on jumping are a very bad thing that can linger forevvvvveeeeerrrrrr.

HOPE he can be healthier? Sure, that makes sense. But based on how we got here, it's not the basket you want to put your eggs in. Build around that? That wouldn't be smart at all.
