Allan Houston has narrowed down his possible desinations to the Knicks and Nets, with Cleveland as the third option. He hasn't made up his mind yet, and Bill Strickland isn't saying much about it other than how the pending birth of his third child will effect his decision.
"Here's the thing," the agent said. "He's a veteran player, and given the pending birth of the child, is it going to kill him not being there (at camp) on Day 1? I don't think so. One very proven and astute coach said he's more concerned about having him ready to go in March and April than the first week of October. And that he'd know how to pace him. So what if he gets started a week later? It won't make or break the situation for Allan, or the coach."
