I hope this is not true, but, when I heard he signed a 3 year deal my first thought was that he had an offseason injury.

you'd think the Cavs medical team would give him a total physical etc before signing. however, sometimes the best doctors working for pro sports teams miss stuff or misdiagnose stuff.

i recall Bill Caudill of the Blue Jays had a form of arthritis that sapped his strength only in the middle of the regular season. Otherwise, his chronic issue was undetectable. His fastball lost 5 MPH and no one knew why.

If Lebron tore both his ACLs the Cavs would still sign this deal. I don't even know why they would give him a physical.

if NBA contracts are insured they probably have to go through some medical clearance thing.
are NBA contract insured like they are in MLB?

I can see by the score how close USA/Serbia was, didn't think anyone would cut the game difference any lower than USA/AUS.

improbable BO1 upsets or close games just don't shock me any more in the Olympics or other similar very short tournaments. they seem to happen in every tourney.

http://www.raptorshq.com/2016/8/11/12447122/report-raptors-looking-to-extend-masai-ujiris-contract

i hope the Raptors re-sign Ujiri and i hope they give him the same or more autonomy. I think his program for african basketball players is a great idea. Anything the Raptors can do to find non-American basketball players benefits them more than the other 29 teams in the NBA. same as for the Blue Jays finding non-american baseball players. The guy who hired Ujiri, Tim Lewieke, is no longer with MLSE so there was some concern Ujiri might not be 100% happy with his work situation.

i believe in Masai...

Should be a no-brainer to resign Ujiri. Already loved his work in Denver and I still think letting him go was on of the biggest mistakes the Nuggets made. He is definitely one of the better GMs right now.

Ya, it is a no-brainer and if Leweike were still around Ujiri would easily get resigned. However, internal MLSE politics often trump obvious decisions.

Yes, this is the big deal with the Bosh thing. If he goes for a year without playing, then the Heat will be able to cash in on the injury insurance and probably just cut him.

I actually like this move. He played quite good in the olympics and his contract is only 1 year, so the Lakers have nothing to lose.

thx for the info.
now the Bosh camp looking at Riley sideways makes a lot of sense.

They just resigned him on a multi-year contract. Definitely the right decision imo.

the important thing is he is the president of the team and has at least as much autonomy as he did in his original deal. he's not the GM any longer. he promoted 2 of his top lieutenants in the GM and aGM positions.

Would be surprised if Yi can even get 5 FGA per game with ballhogs Clarkson, Randle, and Russell on the same team

They're gonna waive his ass anyway, no team is foolish enough to trade for Swaggy P. But Lakers randomly signing Yi is a total wtf.
