    I keep hearing a lot about things depending on how healthy hakeem is this year... and i was wondering has anyone heard anything about how his health has been this summer.. any more known breathing or heart problems? has he even worked out to maybe try to get in better shape? Any info would be appreciated. I hope he has a good year although i really think the only reason he is playing this year is for the money aka as he says honor his contract

    I think he gets paid some even if he doesnt play. Or if thats not the case, he could just play like 5-10 games and then say he is hurt. He would get his money then anyways. I dont think he is playing for the money. I still think he believes he has a chance to be competitive, and he doesnt want to go out playing like he did last year. I hope he has a strong year, and us fans vote him on the all star team. Nothing would make me more happier.

    He gets payed/counts against the cap regardless whether he retires, is injured, or plays.
