"But you also want to be respectful of the player and the person." -- <font color="#000000">New York Daily News</font></p> </p> </p> [*]"This is their call," said Houston, who had narrowed his choices to the Knicks and Nets but lost the Net opportunity when roster spots filled while he waited for his wife to give birth. "I'm not angry. After sitting out [two] years I don't really look at back-to-back, practice days or what we're doing." -- <font color="#000000">New York Post</font> [*]</div> </div>
