Houston taking it easy
Worth taking the risk?

CHARLESTON, S.C. --
Two years ago, when former Knicks forward Antonio McDyess was trying to
make a comeback from knee surgery, he was on the court with three minutes
left in the third preseason game when he came down wrong and suffered a
season-ending injury.
The story virtually repeated itself last season when McDyess and Allan Houston
pushed themselves to get back on the court early after surgery and suffered
major setbacks.
That won't happen again this season. Determined not to repeat the mistakes of
the previous regime, Knicks president Isiah Thomas Thursday said Houston's
rehabilitation will include little, if any, playing time in the preseason,
and even when he returns in the regular season, the demands on him to carry
the bulk of the scoring won't be as great.
Except for the first day of training camp, Houston has worked out separately
from his teammates in the morning. While the Knicks do conditioning and
classroom work at the College of Charleston, Houston endures a three-hour
outdoor workout session at a nearby track.
Houston has attended the evening scrimmage, but his work is limited to a
few drills and no contact.
"The worst thing that can happen is if somebody accidentally runs into his
knee or something like that," Thomas said. "We've got a lot of good work
built up into him. It's important we keep building as opposed to having an
'oops.'
"If he does play in the exhibition games, it will be five or six minutes
just to kind of get a feel. But then he's out. We want him around for the
real show," Thomas said. "If he's going to take a knee or risk an injury,
I'd rather that happen in a real game."
Not that Thomas believes Houston is so fragile that he will break down as s
oon as he's exposed to contact. It's simply a matter of waiting to test him
when it counts.
Former coach Don Chaney and, as it turned out, former president and general
manager Scott Layden had their jobs on the line last season, which might have
prompted them to take a more aggressive approach with McDyess and Houston.
But the Knicks no longer are so dependent on one or two players thanks to the
depth Thomas has added. He made an offseason trade with Chicago for Jamal
Crawford, who can play either guard position, and wants to develop second-
round pick Trevor Ariza at shooting guard and small forward. Both players
worked with the first unit Thursday as coach Lenny Wilkens looked at different
combinations.
Asked if Crawford is capable of replacing Houston in the starting lineup if
necessary, Thomas said, "Yes. I feel lucky that we got him. He's really good."
The Knicks owe Houston $57.3 million over the next three seasons, so it's not
as if they can push him to the curb or trade him. But Thomas hopes to extend
Houston's effectiveness by reducing his minutes and the team's dependence on
his jump shot.
"The days where Allan Houston had to play 50 minutes and score 40 points to
be close in a game, that's not how it is anymore," Thomas said. "Can Allan
Houston score 20, 25 points a night if we went to him every single time?
Without question. But will we make him carry that type of workload? No, we
won't."
Notes & quotes:
The financial implications of buying out the final three years of Shandon
Anderson's $24 million contract apparently are too great a burden to bear for
Cablevision, which owns the club. "Right now, that's not an option," Thomas
said ... Nets forward Richard Jefferson recently said former Net Kenyon Martin
would win any fight with Knicks forward Tim Thomas. Earlier this week, Thomas
said he'd like to fight Martin in a ring, but he avoided the subject Thursday.
"Enough said," Thomas said.
"I said what I said. I'm waiting for a nice response. Until then, let's play
basketball." ... Former Knick John Starks Thursday was named to a newly created
position of alumni relations and fan development adviser ...
The Knicks released forward Brent Wright so he could accept an offer
to play in Europe.
