The Knicks officially made their second commitment to Allan Houston on Monday, signing him to a six-year contract that is likely worth $100.4 million, the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement for the eight-year veteran.

Houston received the highest financial package in Knicks history, but his annual salary still averages out to less than what Patrick Ewing received when he signed a four-year deal worth $68 million -- $17 million annually.
