Knicks plan to sign Jordan

The NY Post is reporting that the Knicks plan to sign Jerome Jordan after the lockout ends. Jordan was acquired from the Bucks last season during the 2010 NBA Draft for cash. The 7-foot center played in Serbia to develop his skills and become more ready for the NBA. The 24-year old center averaged 15.1 points per game and 9.1 rebounds per game during his senior year with the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes. 

According to the NY Post:

“According to a source, the Knicks are not expected to sign Jordan until after the lockout ends, figuring the new CBA will be more favorable to the team. But plans are in place for him to be in the rotation next season because of his low-post skill, size and ability to block shots -- with Glen Grunwald likely still in place as interim president.

The day after the Anthony trade in February, coach Mike D'Antoni and Walsh held a press conference and, unsolicited, they each mentioned Jordan. That's how desperate the Knicks were for a big guy after the roster-ravaging trade cost them 7-footer Timofey Mozgov.”
