Jared Zwerling: Hearing the #Knicks won't make any more moves until the Jason Kidd & Marcus Camby situations are determined. Camby still not 100 percent. Twitter

The Knicks are still in talks about a new contract for Jeffries, which may be independent of Camby. The Nets, meanwhile, may have no means to get Camby if they pull off a trade for Howard, unless the Rockets are involved as a third team. New York Post

The Knicks still are interested in two-way guard Randy Foye, but they might have to see how things pan out with Camby because the pieces they would use in a sign-and-trade for him might be some of the same in a potential Foye deal. "I love to see the organization going after everybody that we can go after," Anthony said. "The ultimate goal is to try to win. We have to do what we have to do to try to win. They've been very aggressive this offseason thus far. Hopefully, we can continue to be very aggressive." Newsday

But the Nets, Miami and Clippers are also in the hunt for the former Knicks center, who would be the perfect backup to Tyson Chandler. Camby spoke to the Nets by phone yesterday, and his situation does not depend on whether the Nets get Dwight Howard, according to an NBA source. Calling the Knicks the favorites is, according to a source, “a stretch,’’ but they are very much alive. Camby is expected to make his decision either tomorrow or Wednesday. New York Post

Free agent center Marcus Camby’s scheduled Saturday visit to South Florida to meet with the Heat was postponed Saturday morning because the Heat no longer has its $3.1 million mid level exception (which is going to Ray Allen) and Camby wants to see if there’s a possibility if the Heat and Houston Rockets can work out a sign-and-trade that would deliver him a salary in that range or higher. The Heat and Rockets have had discussions about a sign-and-trade, according to an NBA source, with Joel Anthony, Norris Cole and a future first-round draft pick among the potential pieces to a deal.

The Rockets are believed to be interested in Cole, but it’s unclear if Miami would give him up as part of a trade for Camby. And the Rockets reportedly have far more interest in what the Knicks have to offer than what the Heat would. Miami Herald
