Houston could be next Knicks GM

Former New York Knicks shooting guard Allan Houston is the favorite to become the team’s next GM.

He is currently functioning as the special assistant to the team president, giving him the inside track.

It’s good that Houston is gaining some experience, but I find it hard to believe he is ready for such a high profile job.

Isiah Thomas is also trying to return to the position and is considered another possible candidate. ( Read More…)

Curry absent from summer league play

New York Knicks big man Eddy Curry was not present for the team’s play in summer league.

D’ Antoni said he is hopeful that Curry is working hard in the offseason and will come to camp ready to play.

Stoudamire, D’Antoni settle differences over breakfast?

The possibility of Amare Stoudamire joining the New York Knicks might rest on scrambled eggs. Or french toast.

The prized free agents power forward met with Knicks head coach Mike D’Antoni for breakfast on Sunday morning, the purpose of the meeting to discuss their differences following their time together in Phoenix. D’Antoni made a name for himself in the desert, turning the Suns into the most exciting team in basketball with Steve Nash at the point and a young Stoudamire thundering home dunks.

But the two often clashed, a result of Stoudamire’s attitude and lack of effort on the defensive end. Stoudamire has since taken the blame for their head-butting, saying his youth and immaturity were the reasons for their problems. ( Read More…)
