Why would you want to miss it for a meaningless run of away games on a road trip as a mid to low table side that are looking to ship you off?
Because it's his job that he is paid millions to do. Professionalism. I was at all of my kids births, didn't need more than one day off for any of their births.

Different industries and situations may not be comparable given the potential luxuries and flexibility associated with his line of work. Previous complications not publicly disclosed (miscarriage, caesarean, etc) could be a reason for additional time if such occurred.

Depends on definition of “professionalism“, as a front office that significantly overpaid to keep his services now wants out of their self inflicted decision and thus want to protect their asset and minimise the risk of injury, etc that may make him less enticing to other suitors. Greater risk of soft tissue injury if rushing him back if there is a tight upcoming schedule. Then logistics involved in chartering a flight specifically for him or finding other methods and will minutes be managed in case of blowout, etc. Allowing increased opportunities for depth or younger players that will form the future of the team whereas he is unlikely to feature in these plans could therefore be classified as “professionalism” in this circumstance, if there is a realisation of how mutually beneficial it is for both parties.

Guaranteed contract and thus not conditional on game day payments for salary with the timing and frequency of recurring payments established in the contract.

The Cannons now sitting on 920 with 1 full lap left to go.

Only OO disappointing, with the SGA hold the other factor in a marginally lower score than some of the real top ones I'm seeing.

Will win the eliminator fairly easily this time around. 128 in front.

Thank you. Cleveland’s 4 makes it easy to hold Garland for another round and glad there was not a large difference between he and Mitchell as I was concerned by Mitchell’s high volume in comparison to Garland and felt that Mitchell was also the larger injury/resting risk given their standing. Okongwu making it tough to trade as he, SGA and Thompson are the only players scheduled to play less than the max but can make cases to hold each going forward.

Quick look at the schedule and attention turns to Detroit, Minnesota and Phoenix. N Reid and C Cunningham could be interesting replacements for SGA and Okongwu but then need to start looking ahead on how to bring SGA back pronto.
Didn’t expect Garland to be the first of the Cleveland duo to miss a game. Mitchell now starting to punish me. Perhaps I should not have paid attention to the updated schedule and traded Okongwu. :ROFLMAO: Barnes solid and Davis injury unfortunate but has had a great run so far and thankfully put 50 on the board in the opener.

878 with a match left for all players bar Davis.

And now Dejounte Murray to fix as well.

Might be Davis , Murray & Okongwu as my 3 outs

Should give me between $ 45-50 million to find 3 replacements

Just have to hold McDaniels and hope he keeps making money.
Westbrook possibly also out with Hammy tightness next game ...

So that could narrow down your 3 outs next round ...
- plenty of value options around though that I would consider in your position ...

Thanks for that

Monday might be looking for the delete team button lol

Glad I only play for fun , although certainly nowhere as enjoyable as it used to be

If I played seriously , all these injuries and missed games would send me insane

Will battle on for the rest of the season

I am also playing for fun, but for a number of weeks now, it has not been enjoyable as my team has not been competitive due to the numerous injuries I have sustained. Like you, I am hoping for our luck to change.

I understand injuries and missed games happen to us all , but it is extremely frustrating.

I might have to go back to just setting up my team on Monday night then not checking anything again until the end of the week.

Used to like checking the day to day scores but then see my player hasn't moved so think what has happened this time.

10 weeks to go so certainly hope some compatible weeks are just around the corner
