Alonzo Mourning Retires

The retirement of Alonzo Mourning only 12 games into a 4 year contract obviously leaves the Nets in a bind at center. Last month, when the Nets released Dikembe Mutombo, who was subsequently signed by the Knicks, I wrote:

"The Nets' buyout of Dikembe Mutombo's contract results in the team having much less front-court depth and therefore little chance of winning a championship. Mutombo is obviously past his prime, but remains a defensive force. The Nets are apparently relying on Alonzo Mourning to remain healthy. That strategy is risky at best, given Mourning's kidney ailment."

Unfortunately, I was right.
