Ewing a Knick

Patrick Ewing Jr. was traded to the Knicks for the draft rights to Frederic Weis.

Yes, that Frederic Weis. Ewing Jr. was acquired by the Houston Rockets through the Ron Artest trade, but they were likely to release him because he had a non-guaranteed contract and the team's roster is full. The Knicks also have a full roster, so Ewing will have to earn a spot at training camp, unless there is another trade before the season starts (Zach Randolph possibly). At 6'8 and the small forward position, Ewing Jr. isn't the player his father was. He is actually a very similar player to Renaldo Balkman and can help fill that void. Like Balkman he is sure to be a crowd favorite, on his name alone. He is strong defensivly, brings a lot of energy, but he is a better shooter than Balkman.
