Re: Diaw agreed to waive 10 million off his own contract if he were to get hurt ... That was a dangerous choice, it is likely that he will miss some games. Is there a certain amount of days he can be out for without having to waive the 10$ million off of his contract, because losing that much money from a simple flu would be ridiculous.
Re: Diaw agreed to waive 10 million off his own contract if he were to get hurt ... One of you Suns fans should go over & take him out. lol</p> He's over paid,.</p>
Re: Diaw agreed to waive 10 million off his own contract if he were to get hurt ... Wow. I can't wait for the Euro's.
Re: Diaw agreed to waive 10 million off his own contract if he were to get hurt ... I take it that the waiver only occurs, if he is hurt in International ball, and not during the NBA season.
Re: Diaw agreed to waive 10 million off his own contract if he were to get hurt ... It makes no difference.</p> If he gets hurt, his whole salary goes against the cap regardless and the Suns can't replace him.</p> That helps the owner recoup 10 million, but does nothing for Suns fans.</p>
Re: Diaw agreed to waive 10 million off his own contract if he were to get hurt ... That show's his Passion for his country!</p> I support him.</p>
Re: Diaw agreed to waive 10 million off his own contract if he were to get hurt ... Admirable thing...

They are over the cap for the next 2 seasons. If Boris misses more than 1 season, remember how in the new CBA his salary can be taken off (reduced from 2 seasons ie Terral Brandon)?</p> Didn't you say that if Prince got hurt it won't matter? Or other players? How are they no putting their team and owners are risk?</p> -Petey</p>
