Report: Knicks' Mobley ponders retirement
by Marc Berman, New York Post
More from the New York Post
Mobley, 33, still has one more heart test left Thursday in Minnesota. It had been reported that Mobley had signed a waiver with the Clippers to release them of liability if he had heart problems.
If Mobley, obtained in the Zach Randolph trade from the Clippers, retires, it would free open a roster spot and save the Knicks about 75 percent of the $18. 9 million left on his pact because of insurance. Mobley, who gets all the money, was obtained more for his contract that expires after next season than for his game.
According to the source, Mobley helped initiate the extra testing following his failed physical. "He's not really focused on basketball, his main concern is his health," the source said.
"It's a distraction for the Knicks," James said last night. "It's not a distraction for us. We're good. It's a distraction for those players. But for us, we're set. Players on that team don't want to hear about LeBron James or Chris Bosh coming to their team."

Mobley is one of the good guys in the nba and i wish him the best. He has always been a very solid player and if has to retire then he should be proud of himself that he played 10 plus yrs and always was a producer. God Bless Cutino !!

Sad, Cutino has been as classe as anyone in the NBA. My prayers to him and his. I too have an enlarged heart as well as many other cardiac issues. He is in for the biggest game of his life.

Cuttino has always been a stand up guy, represented his city (Philly) well. Great career, better person. He did the Philadelphia Catholic League proud. Best of luck to you, Cat!
