If symbolism alone could change the Knicks’ fortunes, then the minor trade they made Friday would make them instant contenders.[img=190,270]http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2008/08/30/sports/30knicks.190.jpg[/img] Laura Rauch/Associated PressPatrick Ewing Jr., was acquired by the Knicks in a deal with the Houston Rockets. In a deal with the Houston Rockets, the Knicks acquired Patrick Ewing Jr. — the son of one of their greatest players — in exchange for the rights to Frederic Weis, a towering symbol of the franchise’s decline.A former star at Georgetown, Ewing shares his father’s name and college pedigree, but not his athletic prowess. He will be a long shot to win a roster spot when the Knicks hold training camp in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., in October.We have been an ebay power seller and paypal confirmed seller of

ffxi gil isn't easy.A 6-foot-8 forward, Ewing was drafted in the second round, 43rd over all, by the Sacramento Kings in June. He was sent to Houston as part of the Ron Artest trade earlier this month. The Knicks now have 16 players under contract, one more than the maximum.Weis, a 7-2 center from France, never wore a Knicks uniform after being taken with the 15th pick in the 1999 draft. Fans never forgave the Knicks for drafting Weis while Artest, a native of Queens, was still on the board. Artest is now one of the N.B.A.’s best defenders; Weis is mostly remembered for being dunked on by Vince Carter at the 2000 Olympics.So in one move, the team president Donnie Walsh stirred memories of better times and chased off a ghost. Whether it amounts to mere symbolism or good karma remains to be seen.
