No one honestly thinks he’s going to make a huge impact. Dude, I’m just hoping for a respectable season and not to be the laughing stock of the league. I keep going to this site:

The Jeffries injury sure is a pain. That being said, like you pointed out, it’s absurd to say that this injury is forcing the Knicks to scramble, as this squad is basically the same exact team that we thought we were getting BEFORE the Jeffries signing, and the same team we would get if the Wizards had matched.

He can’t score, is overrated as an on-the-ball defender, and is a poor rebounder. The sole value Jeffries has is that he’s relatively athletic and relatively versatile. Since the Knicks have such a glut of players, Jeffries’ versatility doesn’t even do much for them. This is hardly a disaster for you guys. Renaldo Balkman will end up being a better version of Jeffries soon anyway.

“We can’t play so-and-so because then we don’t have the outside shot we desperately need to go with the M/F backcourt.” “We can’t play so-and-so because then we won’t be able to stop any guard from scoring in the paint at will thanks to the M/F backcourt.”

One of those guys absolutely has to be traded. Playing both of them at the same time doesn’t really make sense on either end of the court because it makes you sacrifice another position in order to make up for their mirror-image gaping holes.

just a thought.
