Is he done playing forever or just holding off to see what team has the best shot at a ring and will sign with them b4 the deadline?
This is from the LA Times, a couple of days ago: Karl Malone is getting closer to a full recovery from knee surgery and should be physically ready to play in a few weeks. Then it becomes decision time: Come back for a 20th season or retire. "Karl's still looking at his options," his agent, Dwight Manley, said Friday. Malone, who averaged 13.2 points and 8.7 rebounds last season, is still believed to be committed to the Lakers if he chooses to play again. Malone had surgery on his right knee in June to promote blood flow after doctors found a small lesion in the cartilage of his knee. New Jersey guard Jason Kidd, who had similar surgery within a week of Malone, is expected to return early next month. Link
Malone will never be more than a shadow of his former self again. Knowing about his injury, I'd be shocked if he can even regain his form from last year. Fork. Evan
