Definitely a good man, but I'm wondering why the NBA or the team doesn't help make some kind of arrangement for him.

For all his well-documented faults, New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has quietly helped current and former ballplayers like this behind the scenes. One former player (I believe it was Sal Maglie) was destitute and terminally ill when Steinbrenner hired him as the team's "director of scouting" or something like that -- just so he could get a salary and have the team cover his medical expenses.

This is the "special arrangement". More than likely the child's treatment will be in NY, and being released from the Jazz allows him to sign with the Knicks or Nets, should they want him.

Prayers for he and his family.
