It's stupid? If he didn't have Ewing on the back of his jersey no one would notice.

[JaoSming]

marketing man, they could have made a lot of money if he stayed with them even if he sucked besides the highlight dunks.

Both Matthew and Jao are right.


Ewing in NY is a big name, and they could have used him for marketing.

If he was in another team, he won't have more future...


I remember when the Bulls signed Jack Haley just because he was friend of the enigmatic Dennis Rodman. He played just one game in that record breakin season (72-10)

Well, from a marketing standpoint you are right. I couldn't care less about a sucky team like the Knicks making money though.

[Andrew]

So much for him having won his spot. If he goes to the D-League he'll probably find his way onto an NBA roster at some point.

Why would the Knicks need Pat Jr.'s "marketing".
The Knicks are already the highest earner among all teams despite their suckiness.

I thought the Knicks already made enough money... too bad it doesn't show in their results. I guess this is why the fans are due for a good season from this franchise...
