Clippers trade draft rights to Jared Jordan to Knicks for cash
Sep 30th, 2007 by Inside Hoops
New York Knickerbockers President of Basketball Operations and Head Coach Isiah Thomas announced today that the draft rights to guard Jared Jordan have been acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for cash considerations. Jordan was originally selected by the Clippers in the second round (45th overall) of the 2007 NBA Draft.
Jordan, 6-2, 190-pounds, averaged 13.1 points and 6.9 assists in 117 career games (108 starts) at Marist College. The 22-year old, Hartford, CT-native averaged 17.2 points and 8.7 assists as a senior in 2006-07 and became the first player since Avery Johnson to lead the nation in assists in NCAA Division 1 play for two consecutive seasons.
As a member of the Clippers’ entry in the 2007 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Jordan averaged 4.2 points and 4.8 assists in five games (all starts).
InsideHoops.com editor Jeff Lenchiner says: Could a trade involving other Knicks guards be brewing?
it’s amazing when a big trial or trouble can do to get your team fired up or ready for the season. one more decent trade ought to do it, and sign houston and nichols and that should be it.
get rid of that garbage jerome james and that silly clown nate robinson, and crawford if you have to for either marion, artest, or kirlenko, and we have a team headed to the eastern finals.
this jordan kid i’m told is the next version of steve nash. yeah baby!!
Do you have any inside sources that say another Knicks deal could go down?
