Considering our other options, if we're able to bring back Hayes with no hard-feelings, then this will be excellent news.
Then if our defense gets shredded, we're losing games, and are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, the FO can get legitimately blasted for making a poor personnel choice. If however, we're winning games, or at least not losing them due to being a bad defensive team, the FO can get legitimate praise for making a good personnel choice.
At least we won't have to just speculate on what may or may-not have happened with our interior defense.
I'm hoping that this will help us win games, but the only way to find out is to play some games.

And without a training camp, it is going to take a few games before we see this team in any kind of solid form

I agree. I guess I should have prefaced the 'losing games/winning games' being more of a mid-season thing than a first couple of weeks thing.
With the new roster, and having Hayes/Outlaw missing a lot of pre-season I don't expect this team to be clicking defensively for a while.
Hopefully they can do well enough in the early games to pull out the wins.

No kidding. Only a few of the best medical facilities in ALL OF THE FREAKING WORLD. Jeez, somebody on the medical staff is going to get seriously chewed for this one.

I already liked Chuck Hayes a lot and now I like him even more. What a classy humble pro and just the kind of veteran we need on the Kings. Oh, and one more thing. The Rockets bestowed the title of team captain on two players most recently, Shane Battier and Chuck Hayes. Maybe Chuckwagon can eventually be Kings team captain as well.

I dunno, if the front office was spooked enough by what the Kings doctors said to void the contract (and by the length of time it went on it seems like there had to be multiple opinions) then I'm somewhat skeptical the front office will suddenly sign him to the same contract based on what Chuck's doctors say.
Maybe a 1 year contract if there are concerns about long-term health as opposed to short-term.

I don't think it was Chuck's doctor's, though. I think it was the doctor's the King's sent him to for further treatment/testing.

I will like him the most if he signs with the Kings again. I totally agree he is what the Kings need.

The one aspect of his disorder that could NOT be determined quickly is the cause of the problem. It can be idiopathic (that's when the doctor says "I dunno"), viral, bacterial, fungal, and a few others. The cause was crucial as it dictated the treatment and prognosis. There is no way you can rule out a bacterial infection in a few hours or by a simple shunt down the road to Stanford. It takes a few days.
I am feeling less critical of the FO as they did the right thing and sent him to the Cleveland Clinic which along with the Mayo Clinic, is tops in the world. Given GP's emotional announcement of Hayes' problem, I feel confident that the relationship between the Kings and Hayes is solid. They certainly gave him the correct advice and the results speak for themselves which has not gone unnoticed by Hayes.

back to plan A. Full well expect us to resign him. He wants to be here, thanks us for discovering wht could have been a major issue and puts us as the frontrunners to sign him.
Feel he must have connected with the team and coaching staff in his time here. PW & GP were really down when his contract was voided. He really wants to be here and was wanted. He will be back

4 years/22 million. An extra million for the trouble? He deserves that!

Because it's the right thing to do if true. We all saw how much Chuck meant to this team and that's after only a stinking week! What a Christmas for Chuck. Think your career may be over, get your first big pay day yanked out from under you and then end up with even more riches after all is said and done. Good for him! Finally, one for the good guys.

resign this guy and give him more money for the cluster**** that this organization created over the last week. My thinking is that the report that the Kings pulled the offer for Dalembert, was because they heard about Chuck being cleared to play. We need a guy like Chuck, on Tuesday David Lee KILLED us, we have no one who can gaurd those skilled 4's. Chuck is that guy. Shotblocking can be alleviated by playing long lineups and good team defense.

Where did you hear that??? I scour hoopshype rumors constantly and don't see anything.

Not to nitpick, but if Kings do give him a new $22 mil 4yr deal that would be an extra $700K since original contract was for $21.3 mil.

That's what I'm thinking too. Pretty coincidental if you ask me.

Kings players & coaches talking as if Chuck Hayes will return. If he has made that choice, likely on a four-year deal worth approx $22 mil

That crafty Chuck Hayes just Dalembere'd us into getting an extra million with a "heart condition" that is now mysteriously non existant. Well played sir.
