"Another 7-footer is on the way.

Jerome Jordan, a 2010 second-round pick, was involved in contract negotiations yesterday to bring him to the Knicks, according to his agent, Todd Ramasar. Last night, Jordan hopped on a plane from Europe bound for New York.

Jordan spent the lockout playing in Slovenia but signed an opt-out clause for when the lockout ended. There was also a small buyout in the Slovenia deal. It appears Jordan can't sign a pact until all the other moves are in place, the same boat Mike Bibby finds himself in.

"We like Jerome, who's getting experience in Europe,'' Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said. "If he does [sign], it's another piece you're trying to develop. It's not someone I can say, 'We can plug him in right here.' ''"
