Erixon is a nice player, but had trouble breaking into the regular rotation in Columbus. Constantly on the bus back and forth from Springfield. Only 23 years old, and over a full season, is probably a 5-6 goal, 20-25 assist guy
or that Jackson thought that he could run the triangle through a player who hates passing the ball Uh....didn't he run the triangle with Kobe? And win several championships doing so? The Lakers had Gasol, who was great at passing out of the triangle, while the Knicks don't have the prerequisite "big man who can pass" I know that. But you didn't say Jackson thought he could run the triangle with a team without a big man who can pass. You said he couldnt' run it thru a guy who hates passing aka Melo. You're changing the parameters. Fair enough. "A guy who hates passing, coupled with a supporting roster who doesn't fit the system"

I could see the Blue Jays being a "mystery team" that goes there for him Perhaps. I just don't see many big-market clubs jumping on him. Boston - already addressed most pitching needs Dodgers - have all the pitchers Cubs - highly unlikely Yankees - maybe? Blue Jays - maybe? Angels - unlikely
