    I have a hard time thinking of him as just a downtown investor...

    Does anyone here have his Health Info? I hate to pry, but our whole future depends upon his conditioning...

    Something tells me that running a Mosque downtown is not enough. Hakeem will do something more...

    I am curious myself. Does anybody know what he is doing this off-season? What about his breathing problem?

    Just a reminder that regardless of whether or not he retires, his salary will still count against our cap until next year.

    My question for the capologists is whether or not we would receive an exemption if he retires. I believe that we would get something around $4mil to sign a replacement.

    Do you mean similar to the one New Jersey got?

    They got a 3.8 million dollar exception for Jayson Williams retiring.
