Ongoing saga of Luc Mbah a Moute (merged)

haven't we had questionable doctor opinions in the past?

Maybe Luc and the Kings should agree to get an evaluation from a neutral doctor on Luc's shoulder and tell him that if the neutral doctor passes him, they will honor his contract.

Kings contend that team doctors found an injury in Mbah a Moute that caused them to void his deal. Well within their rights under CBA.

Kings have been in similar situations in the past with both Shareef Abdur-Rahim and Chuck Hayes. Kept both players.

Kings have every right to void a contract if Luc failed his physical. My guess is that Kings are trying to renegotiate a lower contract with Luc and he lost some money because of the failed physical. But at the same time, it doesn't look like any other team is banging at his door.

From the reports it sounded like he was getting a minimum deal. I'm not sure if it was more than one year, but other than that, they can't really negotiate him down.

maybe make it non or only partially guaranteed depending on availability? or does the CBA mandate that vet min deals be guaranteed

It might be a question regarding the second year of the contract (I don't remember there being a second year); I cannot imagine a vet can be non or partially guaranteed on anything past like a 10-day contract. Wonder what the issue is; perhaps, with the failed physical, Vlade wants to move away from Luc entirely.

Tayshaun Prince would have been a great pick up in place of Luc. He's off to Minny instead.
