标题[情报] ALLAN COULD SIDESTEP 'HOUSTON RULE' SNUB
时间Sat Aug 13 17:54:11 2005
August 13, 2005 -- Allan Houston appears safe, The Post has learned.
The Knicks are expected to let Monday's amnesty deadline pass without waiving
Houston, a league official said.
The Knicks are talking about waiving one of four other players in order to
take advantage of the NBA's one-time provision and reduce their luxury tax
liability. Power forwards Malik Rose, Maurice Taylor and, to a lesser extent,
Jerome Williams are in danger. Perhaps the best option being reviewed is
waiving the contract of Shandon Anderson, bought out last October.
Yesterday, Knicks president Isiah Thomas and newly hired coach Larry Brown
huddled at their Westchester practice campus, partly to discuss their amnesty
decision.
Cutting Houston would save the club $39.8 million in luxury tax; when the
league included the provision in its new collective bargaining agreement,
some even referred to the clause as "The Allan Houston Rule."
The club now believes that Houston, once reluctant to retire, will hang them
up if he's not close to being ready by the end of October's training camp.
Houston has told Knicks officials he doesn't want to go through the same
ordeal of the past two seasons, missing 92 games, and would consider
retirement if he's still not healthy after camp.
Houston's sentiment changed the Knicks' position on how best to proceed. A
faction within the organization believes the veteran shooting guard's
arthritic knees will not heal enough to allow him to play close to an entire
season.
The Knicks would prefer that Houston agree to a medical retirement, which
would save them much more than just the luxury tax reduction of the amnesty
rule. Houston would get every penny but insurance — not the Knicks — would
pay 75 percent of Houston's $39.8M in salary, minus a 20 percent deductible.
Owner James Dolan is fond of Houston and would like to see him go out on his
own terms. Brown, too, has had major input.
Sources close to Houston told The Post that Houston had not yet been informed
of the Knicks' decision.
The Knicks can save $18 million if they waive Anderson's pact on Monday. The
Knicks would save $18.8 million waiving Taylor, but his contract becomes a
big asset next summer when it enters its final year. Rose, in contrast, has
three years remaining and the Knicks could be relieved of $19.5 million in
luxury tax.
内容大概是说…所谓的"THE ALLEN HOUSTON RULE"
可能不会发生在houston的身上…
如果houston在季前训练营不能打的话…就会选择退休
至於有危险的人应该是以下四人:
Maurice Taylor
Malik Rose
Jerome Williams
Shandon Anderson
不过taylor的合约只剩两年…
所以在明年应该会有很大的交易价值…
此外…尼克今天测试了前骑士的自由球员中锋
7-foot, 280-pound free-agent center DeSagana Diop
他的防守不错…身材很好…其他就没什麽好提的了
