    HOUSTON -- NBA sources told FOX 26 Sports Friday the Houston Rockets traded forward Patrick Ewing, Jr. Friday to the New York Knicks for forward Frederic Weiss.Ewing, Jr. son of Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing, Sr., is headed to the franchise where his father became an NBA star.

    Weiss, who played on the national team of France, is unlikely to be a factor here.

    Ewing, Jr. was acquired by the Rockets in the deal that brought Ron Artest to Houston.

    This trade is part of General Manager Daryl Morey's goal to manage his roster and salary cap for the upcoming season.

    Has Weis even seen playing time?
    Is this similar to trading for Keith Van Horn?

    He needs to work on his free throws a little bit.

    Weis has never played in the NBA. He doesn't have a contract with the Knicks, they just own his rights like the Spurs did with Scola, except I'm assuming we have no intention of signing Weis and this was just a money saving move.
