The Knicks have lost so much to the Nets over the past six years they may not
want to lose Allan Houston to them, too.
Both teams are in the chase for the shooting guard, who is trying to make a
comeback after retiring two years ago because of an arthritic left knee. But
the Knicks could up the ante.
The Nets have invited Houston to training camp on a "make good" contract for
the veteran's minimum. But Houston has received the same offer from other
teams.
However, league sources said the Knicks might offer Houston part of their
midlevel exception, and could clear some roster space to make room for him.
They have 17 players under contract, including three shooting guards.
Houston is a favorite of Knicks owner Jim Dolan, so it could be he wants his
former franchise player back. It's also possible that with all the negative
publicity the Knicks and Madison Square Garden are getting from the Isiah
Thomas sexual harassment trial, they might want some good PR.
Losing Houston to the Nets would be another smack in this heavily lopsided
rivalry.
Other teams are in the mix for the former All-Star, including the Heat and
Cavaliers, but being close to home and near his family is a high priority for
him. Thus, the Nets and Knicks are high on Houston's list.
Houston is said to be considering all offers. Although money wouldn't seem to
be a factor since Houston earned $100 million from the Knicks, he could
choose to show loyalty to his former team and organization.
If winning is a major objective, Houston probably would choose one of the
other teams, including the Nets, over the Knicks. Houston has a good
relationship with Jason Kidd and Vince Carter, and many players might choose
to play with Kidd over Stephon Marbury anyway.
