Knicks exercise "Allan Houston" clause...
- Thread starter Mr. S£im Citrus
- Start date
According to local reports, tow things:
1) some, Zeke amongst them, are gambling that if Houston is physically unable to go to start the next season he will just retire, which will save the Knicks a bunch of money because its a medical retirement and the insurance will pick up 75% of it. Note, however, that Houston himself seems to deny he's going to do that and was laughing at the boneheads that are Knicks brass.
2) the wonderful; Larry Brown show has arrived, and Brown as usual is already meddling and apparently asked them not to let Houston go. Maybe he thinks he can be an old one-kneed Reggie or something.
In any case, I think the Knicks are going to live to rgret this one. But then again, they've lived to regret a lot of things. That's why they have an insane $100mil payroll for their 40 win team.

For some reason - possibly because it's the middle of TDOS - I find this hysterically funny. Imagine at some point down the road, when people are talking about the NEXT CBA, and they refer to the "Allan Houston" clause.
"Yeah, you know...when teams got to waive one player because he had an albatross contract and couldn't really play well any more?"
"But Allan Houston wasn't waived."
"Yes! That's it exactly! That's why it's called the Allen Houston clause."
