they already signed deshawn stevenson. why would they sign jeffries now? i think he might as well get that jersey ready cuz i think he's a knick now.
In my opinion we should keep our roster like it is..Keep Crawford as 6th man and Qrich starting and 7th man is Jalen rose..Start Frye at PF and Curry at Center..8th man should be Renaldo Balkman..And we shouldnt keep changing that lineup!
this is the same team that went 23-59 and added balkman and collins who most likely will get no burn. jefferies is gonna be a plus for us on the defensive end, anything on offense is gravy. rose should rot on the bench too. it should be an 9 man rotation.marbury/natecrawford/qjefferies/lee/balkmanfrye/leecurry/frye

Why do you guys not like Rose?i remember when he was on the bulls and i would check the box score he would always have like 30 every game
because he's old and overpriced. if he was cheaper i wouldn't mind but he makes over $15 mil on a team that is filled with players similar to him. i think he's a very good player but not for this team.

At least 3 years
Sorry, but as a Raptor fan, I can honestly say that Rose is mediocre. First of all, he is arguably the worst defender in the League. He has a bit of offensive talent left in him, but dont expect him to score 20 or something. I say 10 ppg at the most next year for Jalen.
