Valuable if someone go seriously hurt early in a longterm contract, but the only potential value here is if he were waived and the money stretched over 3 years instead of 1, the last 2 years would disappear.
Right. And the injury clause doesn't affect us with Mike at all. I just added it for the sake of being complete on the rules.
It could if he retired due to injury...but I don't know how strict they are about those rules.
It's only actually happened like once or twice ever....was it Darius Miles perhaps?
Incredibly strict.
The determination as to whether an injury or illness is career ending is made by a physician jointly selected by the league and players association, or by a Fitness to Play panel. The determination is based on whether the injury or illness will prevent the player from playing for the remainder of his career, or if it is severe enough that continuing to play constitutes a medically unacceptable risk.
And it wouldn't help us anyways because even if it is granted, it doesn't take effect until the Anniversary of the last game the player participated in. And by that time his contract would already be over.
