I'm pretty sure it was a joke. A career-ending would, well, end Vince's career. Why wouldn't Grunwald want to get something for him at that point.
Anyways I'm glad to see Grunwald won't do anything stupid and trade him. I seem to remember the last time a star player was injured and his team did pretty well. The fans and the media started to wonder if the team was better off without that player. I'm talking about Ewing and the Knicks. The Knicks traded their best player ever and are still paying crap contracts as a result. Hey at least it gave the Lakers a team to dump Travis Knight on.
