Poor Frank couldn’t even get in on picture day.
We should give him a temporary contract as an assistant coach or something, just to have him on the bench and in the locker room.
That would be a violation of the CBA, but I agree with your sentiment.
Why? He’s not a player under contract, he’s just a guy.

He's a member of the players union until he retires, IIRC.

So? Let him retire, and then unretire next season. It’s not unprecedented.

I have no idea who's done that recently.

But OK, go run it by Frank. Seems like a lot of trouble and bending the rules just for nostalgia's sake.

Don’t know about recently. Off the top of my head, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan (twice), and Kevin Johnson all retired and unretired.

That was a different CBA and those guys weren't on the payroll as a coach or whatever between initially retiring and returning.

The first and only time someone will have Magic Johnson and Frank Kaminsky in the same discussion.

Actually, Jordan was too. KJ is the exception.

Look forward to seeing Dario back at 100% (whenever that might be)

It will make for a log jam at forward - Bridges, Crowder, Johnson, Sarić, Craig, and at center - Ayton, McGee, Biyombo, Sarić

McGee will probably be hard to keep next season.
