is this true? Is there a source?
I read it off another post on these boards nd repeated it - haven't checked if it's true. He's going to have to start cutting players soon due to his terrible roster moves this summer.

Not sure how much of it is true, but if the Dwight Howard trade is true, they might need to make a lot of roster spots with all the junk they are taking back.
And Jordan/Jorts salaries are not guaranteed, so they could be pulling another Jeremy Lin all over again, then offer him a poison pill to whoever picks him up this season, next summer if he does well, and Dwight Howard leaves....
Jorts was released - it was in the NY papers.
Are we picking him back up? I wouldn't mind having him back.
we can't re-sign him until next july.
And Houston couldn't get Gadzuric. NO! They had to get the young guy just to mess with us. Can't believe we dealt with them. Hope we don't anymore.

Do we really know why he, and not Gadzuric, was included?

After WTF happened in '94, WE should be the ones out to get THEM.
...almost 20 years later, the Rockets are still putting one over on the Knicks?? Come the hell on, Knicks brass.
Anyway, it's too bad we can't get Jorts back this year. Hopefully we can get him back with the NYK in less time than it took for us to get Camby back.

My guess is that Jorts is more valuable than Gadzuric but with the possible Dwight Howard trade they needed his contract off the books.

My guess is grunwald held onto gads contract to get a shooting guard. They would get more cap relief from gadz. If grunwald feels Houston is out to get him he should put out there that he isn't going to resign Lin. I think the reason lins contract was changed was because d12 came into play. If waiting until the final hour before signing Lin causes morey to make another cap clearing move Knicks should do it if they reAlly think there was malicious intent in the Jorts moves and Lin signing

I think so too. Under the old CBA I remember there being a lot of trades where players making less money were thrown into trades to make the salaries matched and then waived so they could resign with their original team

Not really. Houston has been crafty with their moves. This was probably intentional. Same way the Lin contract was intentional. Of course they probably also made the move in order to have more cap space for the ridiculous contracts they are trying to take on to get Howard. Poor move. Hope he doesn't sign with a Atlantic team. Don't wanna see him get punked by Tyson and Camby.
I think Houston is looking at two things:
1. Possible Dwight signing (which will be helped if they have Lin)
2. Keeping us from getting CP3 next year
And they are executing a plan to work both scenarios. Morey is doing his job, too bad Grunwald didn't play his hand very well.
