Murphy would've been a great addition, and him going to Boston only hurts the Knicks even more. I don't think without training camp that this group of guys can come together on the defensive end in such a short amount of time, but we'll see. I couldn’t agree with you more Liam.

But that brings me to my real point: getting Jeffries will be huge. Seriously huge. He is a defense guy, and he's the same EXACT size as Joakim Noah. The bulls dont have many "size problems" with noah-boozer as their starting frontcourt, they hustle and buy into defense and it helps that htey have a big small forward like deng to help (which we have in carmelo) on the glass.... i think Jeffries next to amare helps a ton on the glass and defensive end plus he just knows how to play and be a glue guy... we wont be "outsized" too much, orlando or the lakers could do it, maybe boston with shaq... but i really really like a starting 5 of billups-fields-melo-amare-jeffries with turiaf off the bench for added size and the rest of the bench composed of douglas-carter-williams-balkman. I like this team A TON if they buy into defense. losing on murphy sucks but jeffries might be better for us anyways due to defense, he'll need to really focus on rebounding htough I rally wish we got Troy Murphy… he woulda been a really good fit for us and solidified our starting 5 with his size and shooting and rebounding… plus he can match up with other teams centers most the time and just box them out and rebound with em (he’d have tons of trouble against the dwight howards of the world, but whatever)…. i really wish we grabbed him
