NBA free agency begins on Friday, and it appears we already know one move the Knicks will make: Reports say Jared Jeffries has told the team that he intends to re-sign with New York. When Jeffries became a Knick again last winter, the news was accompanied by a wave of YouTube parody videos. But we can probably skip all that now and say that, hey, Mike D’Antoni loves the guy — particularly because of his defense — and he’ll reportedly be signing just a one-year contract for the veteran minimum. So to quote Seth over at Posting and Toasting: “Whatever.” Training camps are set to open on Friday, as well. For Jeffries’s sake, here’s hoping layup drills are made a priority.
