Along with Knight, Brian Grant is another FA that the C's should take a
look at. Grant can be compared to P.J.Brown, in fact he is a better
rebounder, though P.J might be a better scorer. Aquiring Grant will allow
the C's to move Walker to SF and free Williams up to get front court help. 
                                             Regarding Knight vs Smits,
Smits didn't have all these moves from the get go. Give Knight a chance, he
played very well in playoffs and games in which Shaq was out and actually
improved with each outing.
