Wurider05 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Curry is a risk we should be willing to take but we should have a clause in his contract that if he drops dead from a heart problem we don't owe his family one dime and that his contract becomes void. He and his agents should run some of the same risks that the team who pays him run. It not fair to us or the Bulls to give him a near max contract then he can't play anymore or god forbids passes away. Everyone should share the risk. Now if he wants the big money this would be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 No, it is just smart. You write it so that he gets paid only for games while he is on the active roster. Must also specify that HE takes full responsibility and that the Hawks are not liable for death associated with his heart condition. Then add an insurance policy to cover his family just in case. Rather morbid isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurider05 Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Could it be done within the guidelines of a standard NBA contract or would the player's union not allow it since it could open the door for other things such has criminal behavior,arrests,etc.?

Moderators AHF Posted July 6, 2005 Moderators Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I seriously doubt that contract would comply with the CBA. It violates the guaranteed nature of player contracts in the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Makes too much sense. Therefore, I'm sure this MUST be forbidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traceman Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 contract he signs. I think the Bulls have already made him an incentive-laden offer that protects them if he is unable to perform for health reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
