Poor Chuck.  I wonder if his issue can be corrected.

[Who]

I wonder if they'll try to re-sign Sammy Dalembert now.

[PosImpos]

hopefully his health situation isn't as bad as Jeff's.

[Snakehead]

First a foremost I feel bad for Green and Hayes, having your career possibly ended by something like a heart condition has to be terrible as a pro athelte.

But hopefully some good comes out of this basketball wise and there is some sort of system in place to prevent these health situations from sticking teams with the contracts.  I don't see how it is fair or makes sense.

Maybe.

There is a basketball ripple effect here, however, and it would appear free agent center Sam Dalembert is a possibility again in Sacto.

They'll have to if they want to hit the salary floor won't they?

I think so, that was part of the defense for Chuck Hayes contract (they needed to spend money).

They just claimed Travis Outlaw on waivers, didn't they; are they still under the salary floor?

They're only paying Outlaw a little over a million per year.

They're paying him 3 mil/yr.

That is what 'voiding a contract' means. The teams are not stuck with the contract.

Obviously this is another story about life > basketball, but imagine if the Celtics had signed both Hayes and Green this offseason? Jeez, disaster.

I thought they claimed him on waivers, meaning that they'd take on his old contract (which I thought was full MLE)?  Was it only partially guaranteed, or did they not make a waiver claim on him?

EDIT: Forget it, I see it was a new contract, and I honestly can't make myself give a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. about the Sacramento Kings.  Still some lockout burnout I'm going to need to get rid of.

I was considering the fact that they are essentially wasting their ability to waive a bad contract on a player who never even played for them, but looking up the new CBA I may be mistaken and this amnesty clause is good for multiple uses and every season?  If someone could clear that up I would appreciate it.
