The New York Knicks acquired the younger Ewing from the Houston Rockets on Friday in exchange for the draft rights to center Frederic Weis, one of the most widely panned picks in franchise history. “Coming to the Knicks, and hopefully being able to contribute, means a lot to me,” Ewing Jr. said in a statement. “It has always been my dream to play for this team. My goal is to show the coaches that I can play and do all that I can to help the team win some games.” Ewing was selected by Sacramento with the 43rd pick in this year’s NBA draft and traded with Ron Artest to the Rockets on Aug. 14. Now, he’s on to New York, where his father ruled the paint at Madison Square Garden for 15 of his 17 NBA seasons. Sources: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?
