and the other hundred who were fine?

God bless them i want this to be the last one and only one in the pros

But we already seen this in college

this aint NEW

But there were experts who were worried about a specific group who would be susceptible to this particular ailment

And it was dismissed off hand BY MANY

It isn't being alarmist or hating football

Its being safe.

And before you so quick so say hundreds are fine?

Go do your research MANY MANY are not

And even those like Cam etc do NOT look the same and it could potentially be related

Let's hope EVERYONE is fine.

But to ignore this or act surprised is just ignorant

Gordon Hayward knew what he was doing when he walked away from the $34.2 million the Boston Celtics would have owed him.
The ceiling on a four-year deal for Hayward was widely projected in the $100 million range after his myriad injury woes in Boston, where he had a player option for the coming season. Mark Bartelstein, his agent, extracted $120 million over four years from the Charlotte Hornets, whose $63 million offer sheet to Hayward in 2014 when he was a restricted free agent was matched by the Utah Jazz.​
Spending nearly twice as much to land Hayward six years later is earning Michael Jordan, Charlotte’s owner, no shortage of consternation, but that’s not Hayward’s concern (or Bartelstein’s). We detailed in last week’s newsletter that the Hornets would probably be interested in trading for Houston’s Russell Westbrook if they missed out on LaMelo Ball in the draft. After the Hornets were able to select Ball at No. 3, they pivoted to overpaying Hayward rather than absorbing the remaining three seasons and nearly $133 million left on Westbrook’s contract.​
So we’re about to find out if Jordan comes off worse for spending big compared with last summer, when he decided not to pay to retain the All-Star Kemba Walker. Adding to the disconcerting math for Jordan: Hayward will essentially cost $39 million for the first three seasons of his contract, if Charlotte’s only way to create sufficient cap room is to eat and pay out the remaining $27 million on Nicolas Batum’s contract over the next three seasons. Although it’s true that the small-market Hornets have never been a free-agent destination, they could have used their cap space in trades to try to bring in a marquee name on a shorter deal (like, say, Detroit’s Blake Griffin) rather than make such a long commitment to Hayward.​

The Knicks, for the record, were in the Hayward chase throughout. After the Knicks weighed their own trade for Westbrook, they pursued Hayward much harder, with Coach Tom Thibodeau serving as lead admirer. The Knicks eventually decided to increase their offer to four years from two to compete with sign-and-trade interest from Indiana and Charlotte, but the Hornets went to a financial level for Hayward that no rival was willing to match.​
