    I meant his regular contract. I'm an idiot, so I don't exactly know the rules about trading injured players.

    This is why he refused to get on the plane without a contract. Not because he wanted to be in Portland, but because he needed a sucker to actually pay him...

    Could we not see this problem from the physical we gave him? Why just dump $7 million? Were we duped somehow? I refuse to believe we were willing to pay $7 million and hope for a miracle that he could play, and I refuse to believe our medical staff is so inept they couldn't see the knee damage. I'm so confused.

    Season ending? That implies there was a season beginning.

    It was a reasonable gamble by NO. It sucks, though. We really could use a healthy Ezeili, even if in limited minutes.

    I'm not sure if we used the injured player exception if it would put us over the LT.

    There's a reason he only cost 7 million. I don't see the problem. It's not like his signing prevented the signing of some other center that could've potentially started or played a big role. It was a small one year gamble. It didn't work out. We move on.

    I agree in taking the gamble if there was actually a small chance he could of played, but now with no chance he plays, was this not foreseeable? Or did we just have our head in the sand?
