Ewing Upset Son Was Cut By Knicks

[DynastYWarrioR6]

Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing wasn't happy with his former team, the Knicks, after they waived his son prior to the start of the season.

"We're looking at Europe or the D-League right now for Junior. We're trying to sort it out," the elder Ewing said.

Ewing Jr. played well in the preseason, but New York decided to keep Anthony Roberson instead.

"It ticked me off," Ewing Sr. said.

I was ticked off as well. I really paid attention to you guys for two reasons and that was D'Antoni's playing style and for Junior. I think Junior is better than Roberson.

Also, why not convince the Magic to sign him? I mean the Magic have no bench anyway.

Although I do like him, if it wasn't for his last name, I wonder if people would even talk about this kid...

He's nothing special, just an athletic swingman. You can find players like him pretty much everywhere. NBDL, Europe, NBA drafts, etc.

Put it this way, Coby Karl had a longer NBA stint......

I just think it was more messed up they kept him until the last minute. They knew they had 15 contracts, why get the kids hopes up. He could have signed with Europe and be in the euroleague right now.
