Whatever. It doesn't really hurt to keep Jeffries around for one more year. Mike D'Antoni likes the guy for reasons that are beyond my ken, and maybe he and Mike Woodson can prod him into playing a consistently useful role for the Knicks.

We're one Shelden Williams signing away from reuniting last year's three-headed center!
