I know allan houston way better then any of the shooting guards we have, But Is he in form? Do we have a spot for him? Can he still shoot the lights out??
Allan houston attributes would be best used by a contending team, the knicks are not that team. The knicks are a team that need to sign cheap players who may pan out to be stars. Like roberson. I also am not saying crawford is what this team needs, he blows and if we could ditch him, I'd so do it.
Houston > Crawford
can't trust Houston as a starter...back from 3 years from having a messed up knee, he can still get hurt, a one year deal is perfect.
you honestly gonna sit their and tell me you'd trust a former-retired veteran with serious knee problems to come in and play over 30 minutes a game and not worry about his health? When that was the reason he retired in the first place? There is a difference between guys that don't get hurt a lot and guys that get hurt, and keep getting hurt as a result of an injury from the past, like Houston. A knee injury is hard to get rid of...that's why there are high odds that he will get hurt again, especially if he is ever a starter which u think he should be. Imagine Houston trying to keep up with slashers like D-Wade or Lebron? He'd have to bust his ass then when they drive on him, the knee will always be put to the test. You watched the last knee injury he had right? His knee hit another player during one of his moving shots and right there, DONE. Imagine him trying to get around picks? A lot of contact on that knee. He is too fragile to be a starter right now.But you could trust Crawford???
LMAOOOOO
Anyone can get hurt, genius.

Yes, I'm telling you this.
Serious knee problems? Houston is fully recovered now.
You know NOTHING about injuries and sports training.
Anyone is vulnerable to an injury.
Who the f*ck said Houston would clock 30 mins a game you idiot?
Houston would be good for 18-24 minutes, have Chandler or Q-Rich take the rest of the SG spot.
"A knee injury is hard to get rid of" LMAO
Do you realize how uneducated you sound kid?
Go back to school and study and stop wasting your time all day on the internet talking shit that you don't know about. You're lowering your IQ and making it acceptable to yourself to be an ignorant puto 24/7.
Who can keep with Lebron and Wade? Another cliche example that FAILS all the time.
Poster tries to make a point by using the BEST and most ELITE slashers trying to prove that a player can't be on the court because he can't stop Lebron or Wade.
Not even Ron Artest can stop Lebron, so shut the f*ck you mindless fatass.
Houston is a VET, with experience; he knows the game a million levels above Crawford, he would play a Raja Bell type role(w/o defense).
I honestly believe your one of the dumbest posters here, but thats just my opinion. Leave it at that.
Allan Houston's plans at a second comeback attempt might happen again with the Knicks.
The 37-year-old former All-Star shooting guard has been working out and playing all summer and, according to multiple sources, Houston has spoken recently with Donnie Walsh about an invite to training camp later this month in Saratoga Springs.
A person close to Houston said he "looks at this as the last opportunity to give it an honest and fair shot." Houston retired on Oct. 17, 2005 after chronic knee troubles.
The Knicks have an interest in Houston - especially if he shows he can still shoot it like he used to - but Walsh is believed to have an interest in including Houston in something on the basketball operations side of the business if he isn't able to make the roster.
Houston started hinting at a comeback last year and the Knicks gave him an invite last fall. He arrived a week late because of the birth of his daughter, Jade, and didn't last more than a week of practices. He played sparingly in one preseason game before calling it quits, citing he was not physically ready to the rigors of the NBA game. But Houston continued to workout throughout the winter and played at the Nike Pro City league this summer.
Stop telling me your emotions Paulie, I'm not your father.
You don't have to start and play over 30 minutes a game, look at Ginobili, he's Crawford's superior.
Who the hell said Houston would average 20 points per game? I sure as hell didn't.
Houston not averaging 20 ppg is still more effective than watching Crawford's circus act.
Everyone is risk at injury prone, the probability of injury relates to a lot of physical, medical and sports related factor you never studied about. My major is exercise science; the study of movement. You should really do your research because I could honestly take your ass to class for being such a fool using elementary terms like "injury prone".
No emotions involved kid. Basic basketball term "injury prone" can start from day one or years later like Houston. I hope he comes back full recovery, I'm just saying don't bet a lot on it. Would not mind having him on the team though off the bench.
LMAO
"Basic basketball term"
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
this man.
How many basic basketball terms can you teach me, Mr. NBA Vocabulary Man?
