Allan Houston tried and failed to mount a comeback this summer, eventually
pulling the plug before
Isiah Thomas was forced to do it for him. But just because
he couldn't beat out Fred Jones for a roster spot doesn't mean that he's given up hope of cashing another NBA paycheck returning to the NBA.
No, he's not going to pull a
P.J. Brown and latch on with a contender this year, but he is preparing for another round of training camp scrimmages next fall -- just not with the Knicks. In fact, he told the
New York Post that he's already received an invitation from at least one team:
"I would say it's an immediate goal," said Houston, who has been working out steadily, playing pick-up games, while running his Allan Houston Foundation. "My gut tells me I need a different situation [than the Knicks] at this point of my career. I feel better than I did in training camp."
Houston has watched the Knicks crash and burn this season and wonders if his veteran presence and know-how could have reversed the lost cause.
