The Knicks have explored signing free agent swingman Jimmy Jackson to fill the massive void left by Jamal Crawford’s season-ending stress fracture injury, according to the New York Post.
Jackson played last season for the Suns and Lakers, but was not picked up this year. He has been working out at his home in Toledo, Ohio.
The Knicks made inquiries into Jackson following Wednesday night’s crushing loss to the Celtics, the team with the worst record in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks fell behind by 23 points to Boston in the first half in their first game without Crawford.
It is believed one of the Knicks’ brass interviewed Jackson yesterday.
They desperately need some perimeter shooting. Hell, if I’m Isiah I might try to get Reggie Miller out of retirement. And I’m sure Dell Curry can still knock down a jumper.
They’re in trouble.
