Jared Jeffries, who said he would give up that number if Houston wanted it, is stuck with that number because of an NBA rule. A player can not change his number without prior notification. We're told Houston chose No. 7 instead.

What is the rule exactly? Why can't they just notify the NBA now?

You can sexually harass people, just don't change any numbers without prior notification

Just to be safe, I think AllanFan20 should notify the NBA before changing his name to AllanFan7.

That is by far, the worst rule in the history of the NBA. The Great Allanfan20 lives forever!

Isiah should've asked for permission from the Commish's office... what a dummy.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

same thing last year ... Nate wanted to change his number to #8 to go with N8 the Gr8 ... he tried to changed it a little too late. i guess he forgot about it.
some Knick fans accept mediocrity as excellence .... I don't!

IMO Allan should get his #20 back. It'll llook weird with him wearing #7.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

I don't think Isiah is one of Stern's favorite people at the moment.

Whatever number Allan wears, he'll make a great Locker Room Monitor.

Michael Jordan had this problem when he first came out of retirement for the Bulls. He wore number 45 then when he thought it was not working for him he tried to go back to 23 and got into some kind of trouble with the league. wink wink.

An excerpt from TrueHoop:
Under the new CBA a player can only change numbers when switching teams or after 4 years on the same team.

This creates a problem. In the past when a big name player moved teams in the past they were allowed to bump lowly guys out of their numbers within team rules... a payment to the scrub etc. Under this new rule, the scrub has to be eligible to switch numbers before he can give his number up to the star who is incoming. The star is eligible to switch numbers because of the team transfer, but not the guy on the non-gauranteed contract.

This new rule is meant to prevent the problems in marketing ala Ron Artest type uniform number transfers. But as far as I can see they have created a serious hurdle in stars keeping uniform numbers if traded.

Maybe Allan can keep #20 and change his name to Jefferies ?
