Never underestimate the power of an ex-knick! LOL....
Shandon played 245 games with us in 4 seasons. Started just 52 with 37 coming in one season.
Avg 21 min per game.

August 10, 2001: As part of a 3-team trade, traded by the Houston Rockets to the New York Knicks; the Dallas Mavericks traded Kyle Hill to the Houston Rockets; the Dallas Mavericks traded Howard Eisley to the New York Knicks; the New York Knicks traded Muggsy Bogues to the Dallas Mavericks; and the New York Knicks traded Glen Rice to the Houston Rockets. Dallas also received a trade exception from Houston.

November 9, 2004: Waived by the New York Knicks.

November 14, 2004: Signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat.

Glen Rice played just 20 games for Rockets following year at age 34. His knees were about done with us.
Following season he played 64 games avg 24 min scoring 9 pts per.

The Ewing Deal revisted:

eptember 20, 2000: As part of a 4-team trade, traded by the Los Angeles Lakers with Travis Knight and a 2001 1st round draft pick (Jamaal Tinsley was later selected) to the New York Knicks; the New York Knicks traded Chris Dudley and a 2001 1st round draft pick (Jason Collins was later selected) to the Phoenix Suns; the New York Knicks traded Patrick Ewing to the Seattle SuperSonics; the Phoenix Suns traded Luc Longley to the New York Knicks; the Seattle SuperSonics traded Emanual Davis, Greg Foster, Horace Grant and Chuck Person to the Los Angeles Lakers; and the Seattle SuperSonics traded Lazaro Borrell, Vernon Maxwell, Vladimir Stepania, a 2001 2nd round draft pick (Eric Chenowith was later selected), a 2001 2nd round draft pick (Michael Wright was later selected) and a 2002 1st round draft pick (Kareem Rush was later selected) to the New York Knicks.

Given Ewing was toast and his contract had some time left on it there was no way were going to win any trade.
His lone season in Seattle at age 38 he did play 79 games, avg 26min per. Context: His last allstar season was age 34 in 96-97 at age 34 and was 2nd team all NBA. Signed a 4 year $68 million contract with New York (NYK). His year with Seattle he had 14mm left on his contract.

What I never understood is why we didn't just trade him to the Lakers? Should have just done a straight up deal for Glen Rice and let Pat go win a championship. Either that or just waive his contract and let him walk away on his own.

That salary was not an easy one to fit. Lakers had just won and would again that season. They had Shaq. Ewing might answer it best but he would have sat behind him. He did start in Seattle so maybe it was an ego thing?
Hard to reconstruct your question. At the end of the day did that trade really bury the knicks even in hindsight?
