It is illegal to share confidential medical records with anyone. Thus, not reasonable at all to share that information.
Sure. Have you ever been married? You don't think Okafor failing that physical was super frustrating?
Moreover - how "confidential," was it? Collars was just trying to protect Jah's career. I'm sure the team could have disclosed the reason the trade failed.
And it is still illegal to share that information. Unless Okafor and Fultz signed releases allowing Colangelo to tell his wife about their medical conditions, Colangelo violated the law. It really is that simple.
what was fultz' medical issue that was disclosed?
That he wasn't injured and that the shooting woes were a mental thing. That would be disclosing medical results and in violation of HIPPA. The government doesn't mess around with those things. It is a serious offense to violate HIPPA.
Lol i work for a health care company Moranis. Thanks for explaining though. Lol you really crack me up.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess he's not an expert on HIPAA regulations. However, this HIPPA thing could really get Colangelo in trouble.
Yeah it's more amusing to me cause I work in health care and have periodically made a secondary income on stat based line evaluations for sports events and at various points moranis has tried to educate me on odds and how Medical regulations work.
Humor aside, I agree with him about the okafor stuff. If okafor really did fail a physical and their was an agreement to not disclose that information (there are different requirements for pro athletes and injuries than there are for private citizens) he could very well get in trouble. There just is a lot of missing information though. Obviously if Stevens says Hayward suffered a small setback in his injury recovery we all assume he isn't committing a violation of haywards medical rights.
With respect to fultz, the stance there was a medical discloure seems like a real stretch. I haven't read every tweet, but what I have seen was along the lines "his trainer really threw off his shot by having him try strange exercises." That really doesn't have anything to do with fultz b big injured and is an opinion on training methods. Most people don't actually have to take the training I do to know what I can and can't say when I see it (even specifically what I could say on social media) so it is a bit humorous to me that everyone takes a holier than though view on the subject (and I am not specifically referencing moranis here, it happens everywhere)
