I see this as evidence that NY has become an attractive team to FAs

The big issues are the Knicks only offering 1 year contracts and also things being up in the air about trading for Paul. Players are scared that they would just end up being part of a trade later. If the Knicks were to be offering longer deals i'm sure they would be getting more attention right now from FA's.
signing jeffries to me means they struck out on grant hill to defend the perimeter. I can only hope. Hopefully we still have a chance at Jeff Foster and they didn't resign jeffries to play center
I am revising my win prediction from 34 down to 22
Can some one please tell me wtf is the love affair the knicks have with this guy...This dude sucks so bad it's not even remotely funny
God damn, when will my nightmare end?

Omg I cannot believe you said that. Pls, keep that on the down low.
what were go you guys wishing for? The guy was our starting center. He is a capable role player. You want stars or depth?
The only reason this is a smart move is because unlike Walsh, Grunwald didn't use a lottery pick, or a trade to acquire a guy that D'Antoni wouldn't play anyway. Berman refers to him as a starter and I think he is probably right. However, I don't understand the philosophy of signing the guy no one else wanted first.
For the love of everything that is holy...WHY???...You mean we can't replace Jared? Really?...Who is making these calls???..
I swear this seems like one big cruel joke...I'm dying to see the Knicks...I have to see fishlips as well..His legacy will be the Knicks? WFT??

Well we wouldn't want to have to get into a bidding war

I have to clean my screen now
to his credit, 4 other teams wanted him
It's just a bridge year for NY, anyway. I'm not really surprised by this at all.

jeffries is a fine role player. anyone who thought there was going to be something better coming, welcome back to reality.

He is a role player and not a bad guy to have on your team. However, his role has always been too big with the Knicks. He already is being penciled in as the starter at center by some. That is not a role that he should be filling on a team that is planning on making a run deep into the playoffs.
YES! THE DYNASTIC FISH VESSEL RETURNS
Oh I get it, NO will definitely the rights to JJ3 in any trade for CP3. I can see him being the core piece in the trade, throw in a filler or two and we are all set.
