Cuttino Mobley Has Heart Issue, Retires From NBA
How desperate are the Knicks to create cap room for their presumed 2010 run at LeBron James? So much so that they traded for a guy with a heart problem and waived his physical requirement just to get Zach Randolph out of New York. This isn’t the kind of heart problem the Knicks are used to, though.
Cuttino Mobley announced today that he’ll have to retire because of a heart condition that could be fatal if he continued to play. It’s the same ailment that took the lives of Reggie Lewis and Hank Gathers. The Knicks traded Randolph to the Clippers last week to get Mobley and his expiring contract. Normally, this kind of news would be grounds to void a trade, but the Knicks aren’t exactly expressing outrage over any of this.
