from a bulls fan concerning the eddy situation:
Eddy could not get insurance after his heart thingee. Remember that?
Not even Curry's influential agent could find a company to insure him.
So owner Reinsdorf would not sign him to a long guaranteed deal, especially since the Charlotte incidence was the second - and Eddy's heart did not shrink back to normal after months of inactivity.
Paxson wanted to keep Eddy & apparently reached a deal with Reinsdorf. If Eddy passes DNA test, Reinsdorf will approve contract.
When Eddy refused the test, Paxson had to trade him since his owner would not agree to sign him.
Mr Dolan did not have a problem with an uninsured deal. Reinsdorf did. That's why Eddy is a Knick.
