Jeffries does something barron doesn't do which is play help defense and has the ability to guard every position on the floor. What exactly is barron good at? What is his meal ticket like jeffries versatility? Centers are hard to come by and hes been cut by multiple teams and is nearly 30.

Jeffries defense is vastly overrated. And btw, there's one position he cannot guard. CENTER.
You gotta chuckle at 50win teams picking up guys like Nazr and Barron and we tell ourselves there's no chance in heck they crack the rotation here as they aren't better than anybody on the roster.
the season is over. no more barron crap. WE RIDE WITH TURIAF!

I do think there's something to be said for not constantly turning your team over, and the Knicks have already turned over quite a bit of the roster this season.
But, yes, size should be a priority here regardless of the aforemention

panos, what's up bro? haven't talked to you in a bit, hope all is well.
i disagree that jeffries is vastly overrated defensively. watching him play, he rotates better than anyone else, which in turn, makes him very good at help defense and he plays the passing lanes better than anyone else on the team. his game isn't close to pretty but i think he's a hell of a lot more effective than a guy like earl barron.
