well I read this article that said: Patrick Ewing Jr., son of NBA Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing, in exchange for Frederic Weis

Its a pretty awesome deal for the knicks, but why in the world would the rockets do this trade? They basically just wasted a second round pick, and got nothing in return. Frederick Weis was, btw that french dude that got dunked over by vicne carter.
I just don't understand what incentive the rockets had to do this deal ??? ???

What is so special about Ewing Jr. that makes this deal awesome for the Knicks?

The Rockets weren't going to keep Ewing Jr. He was surplus to requirements and only on their squad as a throw in on the Artest deal to make the financials work. He had a non-guaranteed contract (part of his contract becomes guaranteed next week) and was about to be cut. He had no value to the Rockets organiztion and rightly so because there was no hope he was getting on that team sheet.

The grand plan worked for the Knicks when they select Weis 9 years ago.

basically a nice gesture by the Rockets to the Knicks, perhaps the Knicks will scracth the Rockets back sometime soon - its funny when you think about all the crossover between the two teams - JVG coached both, Patrick Ewing coaches under JVG's brother Stan - Stevie Franchise has played for both clubs, Dikembe Mutumbo has too

apparantly Ewing Jr. will be wearing #33 if he makes the Knickerbockers squad..... (http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=9882)
