... With all the talk of Knick cap space, and superstars, it is well worth reading Kelly Dwyer's smart look at the time, a dozen years ago, when there was Knick cap space allegedly targeted for one Michael Jordan. (They ended up getting Allan Houston instead.)

If there were many such situations, how would anyone find out? ...

To begin, Allan Houston wasn’t on the Knicks when they tried to sign Mike. He ended up signing with them that summer using most of the cap space New York made the desperate attempt to sign Jordan with. Really, signing Michael to a large deal would have left the Knicks with Ewing, Oakley, John Starks, Herb Williams, ...
