All Three Players Practicing; Rangers Tragedy Must have had Impact on Walsh

Word out of Knicks camp is that Al Harrington, Tim Thomas and, most importantly, Cuttino Mobley are practicing with the team today. Now, I am not at practice but this is what we are hearing.

This is significant because if Mobley is working out then Donnie Walsh is content with his health and that he will finalize the deal with the Clippers before 6:30′s deadline.

Remember, the Garden has had it’s share of tragedy in recent months with the passing of Rangers top prospect Alexei Cherepanov of an apparent heart attack in October. The Russian had a history of heart problems which caused his stock to drop in the NHL draft. Of course, Eddy Curry had heart issues as well, which were a big concern before Isiah Thomas made a deal for the then-Bulls center.

So Walsh is correct in making sure Mobley is fit to play, and apparently now he will be good to go tonight once the trade is finally completed.
