Mike Dunigan!

I bet Brock Motum's agent will be getting a call soon.

Lucas Walker has travelled with the team all year - what does that mean?
Is he a player or a coach?

It could also mean he is luggage.

It's a simple one he's retired. Already admitting it to himself now. Pack it in life's too short.

Hodgson? I think he will be highly sought after this off season.

"It could also mean he is luggage."
LOL

Might only be a year or so early, so hopefully not as disruptive to his post-basketball plans. For the sake of his kids, he should really look at leaving the game. Would be horrible to be at risk or incapable years down the track because he pushed his luck.

If he doesn't retire he is a fool, Prather barely touched him and he got a concussion.

He's got a lot of life let to live, and has a young family, that is far more important than any basketball game.

Shouldn't even waste his time with a doc.

The visit to the doctor could be just for insurance purposes or something like that

No, its been clearly said that he is visiting a specialist to assess his health.
I'm not saying I know what the outcome will be however the question is clear.

Although I don tend to feel that he needs to retire. For a light rap on the head to send a guy punch drunk is serious stuff.

Maybe he's just always been vulnerable and that's why he's had so many concussions? I felt physically sick when I saw him staggering around - I don't want to watch that again.

Watto's on the money.

I'm quite happy to be wrong. But Gleeson said he deliberately misled the media to Knight's condition in the lead-up to game 3 (Knight was never going to play) so it's hard to believe anything coming out of the Wildcats regarding Knight's future.

It's as good as over for him, time to look forward to a new lineup next year without Redhage and Knight.

Will be interesting to see how the roster looks on opening day and where they go with the imports.

Will definitely need at least an import SF and combo guard.

Whether they go import C or PF for the 3rd is the question now that Knight's spot should be open.

Might open up Brandt to move into starting 5, not sure up for it yet. Jerv still has a year on his contract as Bris, didn't have the year expected from him though but imagine Jerv and Brandt taking turns at C.

Sounds like he shouldn't have played the last season to me.

Watto, you were not very clear.
I thought you meant "he's ok, he's going to play on, just needs a doctor to sign off for insurance purposes."

Is insurance a factor?
Seems to me that insuring professional athletes against injury would be a sure way to lose money. Although I suppose there might be some kind of insurance against a career-ending injury?

From an information standpoint, I feel the problem with the Wildcats is that we will be told Knight's fate about 30 seconds after they announce his replacement. Although I suppose if he turns up to pre-season practise with a deck-chair and esky, we might get the hint.

Knight actually had discussion with teams about playing WAFL after he retires. I suppose that's not going to happen.

I meant insurance as to cover his contract payout or something like the anon just above posted

That's what I think to Watto. He's got a year to go on his contract so probably lining up the doctors to tell him he can't continue and maybe getting the rest of his contract paid out by the Wildcats insurance company and thus removing him from the salary cap.

It's common in the NBA Chris Bosh is going through that right now with the Heat and Luc Longley went through the same thing with the Knicks, the Knicks insurance company paid out the three years remaining on his contract but it also meant if he ever played professionally again his contract would go back on to the Knicks books which is why he didn't come back and play for the Wildcats as planned after his NBA career was done.
