Forgot that guy was on the Knicks, didn't you? After a year or so of strictly financial attachment, the Knicks finally parted ways with Cuttino Mobley this afternoon.

Marc Stein writes:

Mobley release will save Knicks roughly $9.5 million in luxury-tax payments, reducing their tax bill in July to $5 million range.

Mobley release also reduces rebate check teams get for staying under NBA's $69.9 million luxury-tax threshhold from $4 mil to $3.7 mil.

If you have any idea what fiscal effect this might have, don't hesitate to explain. For our purposes, this could precipitate the signing of another ten-day bro to keep Earl Barron company. Either way, it's been real, Cuttino. Sorry you never got your chance to spin. I guess my #32 Mobley jersey is a throwback now.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

I'm real sorry to see him go. He was my favorite Knick.

aside from Bender & Brian Cardinal i can't think of another Knick who made such a drastic contribution to this season's success... he will be sorely missed.

Only thing I remember about cutty was that he had a runaway slave 'fro and he was a little too close with Steve Francis.

Nice to see that we had a player who never plays below expectations. I mean never...

regardless of the players involved the Knicks just saved $10mm on their luxury tax bill. Thats a good job by Walsh, and hopefully frees up some cash for draft day transactions.

i'm guessing we'll end up signing a wing player that can shoot the 3... u can never have enough of those.

Too bad because a healthy Cuttino Mobley would have helped A LOT.
