Without those extra years Jeffries would have taken Washington’s offer.

I have to admit, in the face of djsunyc’s protests, I was for acquiring Jeffries. I saw Jeffries as a net positive, bringing sorely needed defense, and thought the MLE was a fair contract for a starter on a playoff team. Of course turns out the length of the contract was pure folly.

When he got here, he started out the year injured and he played with a total lack of confidence from there on out. I think the situation in Washington was perfect for him. He could concentrate on his role as a defensive stopper, and didn’t have to try to do too much. He just never got on track in NYC.

I was with you. JJ isn't bad for the right price and on the right team. Unfortunately we were bringing him into a losing situation with a variety of misfits where his intangibles were useless. On a playoff team where he can rely on just playing defense and grabbing offensive boards he's not a bad bench guy

Good deal, because I was for it as well. The problem isnt Jeffries, per-say, its the rest of the team. Jeffries sucks, but he has a great attitude and he works hard. Not everybody on the team has to be a 20 point scorer. A good team at least. He was good for Washington, but on a rudderless ship like NY he's an overpaid sore thumb.

Still hoping against hope that we can get his punk ass shipped out.

Hey, the old timer got Z-Bo's, Crawford and Q's contracts outta here. It's possible.

It is possible. Both he and Curry only have two years, so it is not like we would be asking a team to take on a huge financial burden. If we threw in $3 million and a second round draft pick, Walsh should be able to find some team to take on Jeffries. In fact, Washington might be the best place for him. Mike james is expiring and they need frontcourt depth more than they need another guard (Nick Young cannot even get run because they have so many 2s and 3s). Call them up, offer them $3 million and a second round pick and trade Jeffries for Mike James, who actually might help us.
