Amaechi KO,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
JOHN AMAECHI is about to be released by the New York Knicks - with a £3.5million pay-off,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The 33-year-old former England captain from Stockport has seen his NBA career nosedive over the past two seasons with the Utah Jazz and the Houston Rockets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Houston traded Amaechi - who joined the club in the summer but had not played a single minute this season - to New York along with guard Moochie Norris.
In exchange Clarence Weatherspoon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a veteran forward, went the other way.
But the new Knicks president Isiah Thomas revealed that Amaechi will be released by the club in the new year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Complicated salary cap restrictions in the NBA mean that players with equal value contracts must be traded for each other.
That left the unwanted Amaechi as a makeweight in the deal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
However, the 6ft 10in centre had a guaranteed contract, signed after a successful season with the Orlando Magic in 1999-2000.
It means the Knicks must give him £3.5m for the two years he has remaining. Amaechi's first NBA stint in 1995 lasted just one season with Cleveland before he drifted around a number of European teams,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he signed with Orlando in 1999 and averaged 10.5 points in 21 minutes a game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his best ever year.
A move to Utah in 2001 proved disastrous as his minutes and reputation dwindled.
Last season he only played in 50 of 82 games,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], averaging just two points and 9.5 minutes a game.
He was also suspended by the Jazz for a public dispute with disciplinarian coach Jerry Sloan.
