NBA Playoffs 2012: Why the New York Knicks Need Jared Jeffries and His Defense 2012 NBA Playoffs, Basketball, Jared Jeffries, NBA, New York Knicks, Preview/Prediction | Comments Off
For Knicks fans, watching Jared Jeffries play offense is a fate almost worse than death. He has this habit of fooling you into believing he will score—he runs smooth pick-and-rolls, finds soft spots in the defense, and parks into the perfect openings to grab offensive rebounds.But then, suddenly, he's forced into taking a wide open shot or putting up an uncontested layup, and before you know it, the ball has been swatted away from him, into the arms of a nearby defender. That's the Jared Jeffries we all know. That's the Jared Jeffries we have to live with.That being said, Jeffries ...

Where Will Jared Jeffries Play Come the 2011-12 NBA Season? Basketball, Jared Jeffries, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
One veteran forward who can be had through free agency is former New York Knick Jared Jeffries, who has been effective in a reserve role. The 6'11" forward has shown that he is a better defensive matchup due to his ability to defend at multiple positions (partially due to his height) depending upon the various matchups. Currently an unrestricted free agent, Jeffries has had two separate stints with the New York Knicks. After spending two successful years playing college basketball at Indiana University, including making it to the championship game as a sophomore, Jeffries was drafted by the ...

In the depression of the NBA lockout, many of us analyze which stars fit best on which teams.We get so caught up in conversations over the few that we often forget about the many.Everyone seems to complain about what was given up in acquiring Carmelo Anthony, which was a necessary trade that left the New York Knicks depleted of role players and help off the bench.In moving forward, the Knicks have most, if not all, of the big pieces they'll need.Now, it's time to take a look at the smaller pieces.As Colin Farrell's character in the new movie Horrible Bosses ...

How Much Will Knicks Give Up to Get McGrady? Donnie Walsh, Jared Jeffries, Jordan Hill, Tracy McGrady | Comments Off
by Tom ZillerFiled under: Knicks, Rockets, NBA RumorsPerhaps the real question in all Knicks-Tracy McGrady rumor-mongering is "how much will the Knicks give up to shed Jared Jeffries's 2010-11 salary?" Because that is exactly what the latest New York-Houston rumor entails: the Knicks get McGrady's $23 million contract, which expires this June. Houston takes Jeffries, the middling defender who is owed $6.8 million next season. How much is that worth to New York, which desperately wants to be the most talked about city on the map as half the league's MVP race becomes free agents?If you believe the Yahoo! Sports ...

Knicks Not Out Yet: Why New York Still Has Shot at Playoffs Al Harrington, Basketball, David Lee, Jared Jeffries, Jordan Hill, Mike D'antoni, NBA, New York, New York Knicks, Preview/Prediction | Comments Off
The Knicks may have lost their last eight of nine, they may have a struggling offense, an awful defense, and a frustrated coach, but they also have a shot. It's not that hard to make the playoffs in the NBA; half the teams do it. Especially in the Eastern Conference, where some sub .500 teams find their way in, the field is always wide open. The Knicks have become a better team in the past week. Getting rid of Nate Robinson may have been hard, but he was more of a burden than anything else. Jared Jeffries departure was also a relief ...

The New York Knicks gained more salary cap room by acquiring Tracy McGrady in a three team deal earlier today. The Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings were the other two teams involved in the deal.

That is when stars such as Lebron James, Joe Johnson, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh become free agents. Today's deal will save the Knicks $9.4 million in cap room. The Knicks acquire ...
