As many of you have heard the New York Knicks are preparing for 2010 when a slew of free agent eye candy will be available for the taking.
The Knicks took their first real step towards their goal of getting significantly under the cap by trading Jamal Crawford, Zach Randolph and Marty Collins, freeing up almost 27 million in those three players alone for 2010.
There has been a snag in the deal involving Randolph and Collins. The Knicks sent Randolph and Collins to the Clippers in exchange for Tim Thomas and Cuttino Mobley. It has been reported now that Cuttino Mobley has failed his physical due to a heart condition he has been playing with his entire career. Although it has not hampered him in his career to date, its a concern for the Knicks and the league as far as putting the trade through.
The Knicks have said they will not void the trade, but Mobley will be seeing another heart doctor today for an 2nd opinion.
The biggest thing to take from this trade is the Knicks are finally on the right track to success. Yes they got rid of their two best players and two best scoring options but they are getting ready for LeBron. And that is a great thing to be patient for.
