Radmanovich was snowboarding, as I recall
I think you are partially right, fatty. A team CAN void the contract of a player who gets injured off the court/field, but only if the injury was incurred in the course of an inherently dangerous activity. If Radmanovich had slipped on ice while walking to the mini mart to pick up a carton of smokes, the Lakers would not have had the option of voiding his contract. They had that option only because Rad got hurt while doing something that carried a substantial risk of injury.
In G.O.'s case, I doubt the Blazers would be allowed to void his contract, because G.O. wasn't doing anything risky when he got hurt.
