Well what'ya know. That shizat would sound fake to anyone. Who the hell would want Weis?

This trade is pretty anti-climatic. It's more boring than the Balkman trade.

My apologies to dj. Usually you're making **** up so nobody knows when to believe you.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Props to DJ first of all.

I actually like this move, Ewings kid has some game and some moxy to him. He plays hard all the time and I think he has more skills then a guy like Balkman who couldn't do anything well. Pat Ewing Jr. can rebound well, plays good man-man defense and he can shoot the ball somewhat. Nice little upgrade.

So essentially we've traded Balkman for Ewing Jr. (a better Balkman) and a 2nd round pick. Not a bad move by Donnie.

they don't. this is just a courtesy trade by the kings. they basically didn't want ewing, jr. and donnie porbably thought this could be a good faith move. he made a point of saying in his townhall that he wanted the older knicks around more often and to be around these younger guys. so doing this is kind of a good faith move for poppa ewing.

according to this press release, it's not guaranteed that he'll get a contract:
NEW YORK, August 29, 2008 – The New York Knickerbockers President of Basketball Operations Donnie Walsh announced today that forward Patrick Ewing, Jr. has been acquired from Houston for the draft rights to center Frederic Weis.

"Patrick Ewing will have an opportunity here to compete for a spot on our roster," Walsh said. "He is a solid defensive player and a very good athlete."

Ewing, Jr., 6-8, 240-pounds, was originally drafted by Sacramento in the 2008 NBA Draft as the 43rd overall selection. Traded to the Rockets on Aug. 14 as part of a multi-player deal, the 24-year-old Boston native played his first two collegiate seasons at Indiana University before transferring to Georgetown. As a senior with the Hoyas during the 2007-08 season, Ewing averaged 6.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 34 games, winning the Big East Sixth Man of the Year award.

"Coming to the Knicks, and hopefully being able to contribute, means a lot to me. It has always been my dream to play for this team," Ewing, Jr. said. "My goal is to show the coaches that I can play and do all that I can to help the team win some games."

Ewing is the eldest child of Knicks legend, Patrick Ewing, who will be enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame a week from today. Ewing played for New York from 1985 through 2000 and is the franchise’s all-time leader in virtually every category, including points (23,665), rebounds (10,759), blocked shots (2,758) and games played (1,039). On Feb. 28, 2003, his jersey No. 33 was lifted to the rafters of Madison Square Garden.

Weis was New York’s first-round draft choice (15th overall) in 1999.

Must've taken you a bit for that write-up. Or you must've copied the Kings press release.
