Yeah, really, there are two sides to a contract...

If he's cleared to play by numerous doctors but decides not to he shouldn't be paid. Seems like a softy to me.

I'm saying it seems like to me, from the Bulls perspective, I'd rather pay him $14 mil to not play for a year rather than have him come back too early (and here is where I'd err on the side of caution, even to the point of paranoia) and reinjure the knee and then I'm stuck paying him $100 mil over the next 5 years to be half as effective or, even worse, to be constantly in and out because the knee won't hold up. I'd rather be satisfied that I waited as long as possible rather than end up with Shaun Livingston...

That's not a fair analogy, though. Rose's knee injury, while bad, was a standard knee injury. Livingston's leg fell off.

The same thing that happened to Livingston happened to me once, I just popped it back in and kept playing. Where's my $14 million????

The Bulls have an insurance policy against him for his injury. If he plays one minute of basketball this year, they don't get the insurance money.

He isn't playing folks. Move along.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

ACC-B1G schedule is out. U*NC plays it's 5th away game in 7 years. I don't think Duke has played 5 true away games since the series started.
U*NC is the cleanest most honest athletic program on the planet. I am jealous of their deserved success, and I'm a mewling cunt.

"ACC-B1G schedule is out."

What about the Maui brackets?

I was being sarcastic, the money's guaranteed, if his leg fell off he'd still be paid over the whole contract

in short, he's a pussy
If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it, then how bad of a decision can it really be?
