Probably the Knicks will keep Cartwright. As a backup center, his offensive
talents complement Ewings.  Furthermore you might see some Cartwright, Ewing,
King lineups, especially against teams like Houston and Boston that can
put in huge front lines against you.  Webster will certainly be on
the trading block (if they can get ANYTHING for him).

As for playing Ewing at power forward, no way.  He really is a DEFENSIVE
machine, and his talents as such would be wasted at power forward. You
want him in the middle of Hubie's 'zone'.
