It seems like anytime a superstar gets "injured" when the team is playing poorly it's really the team protecting their trade asset and making sure they are in good draft position.
The groin injury is the perfect one to put on the IL when you don't want anyone asking questions. You won't see Cheryl Miller come over to Steve at half time and say... So Steve, How is your groin? What can you tell us about it? Is it a high groin injury, is there swelling? It's perfect because it never has lasting effects and GMs know he's fine. You never have someone out 3 mos with that.
I'm thinking NY Knicks. Every winning team has a good PG. Him in Miami would be something but with everyone on that team taking a pay cut, would they ethically be able to do it? As all 1st half trades, this could have big impact on season wins wagers.
