Credit Reports — Your Free Report Could Cost You

The growing prevalence of identity theft and increased concern about good financial health has led many consumers to seek copies of their credit reports online. Doing so is certainly laudable; the more you know about how potential creditors and lenders…

I liked Butler a lot, but I think there’s certainly a very good case to made for Jared Jeffries being a better player than Butler.

And he’s certainly a player who addresses a need for the Knicks, while Butler (while a good backup) essentially duplicated the skill set of another, better player who Butler was stuck behind.

But yeah, I don’t get it being a great move, either.

Just a move that improved the team.

“The signing of 6.10 free-agent Jefferies to and offer Sheet maybe one of the great moves for Isiah Thomas if the Washington Wizards dont match the offer. Jefferies provide help in 3-positions (PF/SF/SG) against certain Knick oponents on the defensive end. Plus he is experience in playing with scoring PG & PF.” Um, yeah. Too bad he sucks. Seriously, 5 years 30 million. Are you kidding me? I love watching fans genuflect in an attempt to defend the indefensible.
“This move makes the Jackie Butler move make a little more sense (and a NY Post article at the time said that this is why the Knicks WOULDN?T match Butler, and it turns out, weeks later, that they were correct).

The Knicks couldn?t sign both players, and they determined that Jeffries is the better player.” Exhibit 1971 that Isiah Thomas is an idiot.

This move makes the Jackie Butler move make a little more sense (and a NY Post article at the time said that this is why the Knicks WOULDN’T match Butler, and it turns out, weeks later, that they were correct).

The Knicks couldn’t sign both players, and they determined that Jeffries is the better player.

Yes, if they had moved some guys BEFORE then, they could have signed BOTH, but if teams know Isiah HAD to trade someone, I don’t think he’d be in a good negotiation position, considering the players he is trying to dump are all garbage.

What this seems to be setting up (presuming Washington doesn’t match, and I sure wouldn’t if I were them, as this deal is way too much, but hey, money is the one advantage the Knicks actually HAVE) are some “three for one”/”one for a draft pick”/”one for a trade exemption” deals, with Jeffries likely taking the place of Richardson in the small forward spot and Miller being signed to be the new third-string center (I bet there’s a nice under-the-table agreement right now between the Knicks and Miller asking him to wait for them to clear some roster space).

Jeffries isn’t that good (and he makes Balkman pretty much superfluous), as he hovers around an 11 PER, but he’s better than Richardson, and, as others mention, he plays really good defense, which makes carrying an 11 PER understandable, especially considering the offensive players he’ll be playing with.

I think this is a good registered free agent to go after, because if Washington DOES match, it really doesn’t matter THAT much.

I think Jeffries would look great starting with Starbury and Francis/Crawford because he’s a role player who defends well and doesn’t need any plays run for him on offense. Who cares if Jalen and Richardson stay on the bench? (Jim K, though he’s 6’11″, Jeffries plays either SG or SF, so this wouldn’t affect the PF or C rotations for the Knicks.)

Don’t the Knicks still have a logjam of big men? If Jeffries can play defense, well, that’s good, but where are Frye and Lee going to play? And all those old guys they STILL have under contract…

The one article I read said Jeffries was probably going to get matched by Washington anyway…

I have to admit, somehow I’d failed to notice that Jeffries was any good the last few years…is he really a quality player?

Report: Knicks Sign Jeffries to Offer Sheet
“The New York Knicks signed restricted free agent guard/forward Jared Jeffries to an offer sheet this afternoon, according to NBA sources,” reports Ivan Carter of THE WASHINGTON POST. “The Washington Wizards will have seven days to decide whether to match the offer. Team owner Abe Pollin, president of basketball operations Ernie Grunfeld and coach Eddie Jordan have all indicated a desire to retain Jeffries

GOOD NEWS. Hope NY gets this guy, and it will be good if he can make a difference in the locker room… DEFENSE!

I can’t take it anymore!… Please no more….

c- Frye
PF – Kmart
sf – Q
sg – Crawford
pg – Stephon

Who is going to play defense for your starting 5?
Stephon is a moron, he can’t even answer a simple question from the living Knick’s legend “Clyde”. The sooner the Knick’s get rid of Stephon, Francis and J.Rose the better. Really they should waiver all three now and suffer 100 million in loses and years of being a non-contender, because no other NBA team wants theses pay check collecting bums..

Should that indicate something to Knicks fans..”Nobody wants them, and their hugh contracts.. Actually even if their contracts were not large..I don’t believe they would attract too much interest. How could the last two trades ever been made (Francis and J.Rose?) I could live with one Moron on the team, but now three?
Also, J. Crawford doesn’t even know what “Defense” is! Can Isaiah teach hime? How?

This situation with the NY Knicks is getting to far out of hand…. Legally something has to be done, this franhise is degrading the NBA.. Thomas, Dolan, & company are not even funny any more, not even worth being the butt end of all NBA jokes.

Enough is Enough!

Fire everbody….
