Word of the talks was first reported earlier Saturday afternoon.

Felton, 28, spent one season with the Blazers after being acquired in a 2011 Draft day trade with the Denver Nuggets. He posted averages of 11.4 points, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in 60 games but clashed with former coach Nate McMillan after coming into camp out of shape. He also kept it 100 by inviting his critics to his home, The Indigo, to hash things out face-to-face. He was mentioned in multiple trade rumors at the March trade deadline but ultimately he was not moved.

The Knicks were one of four finalists that Felton mentioned last month, along with the Blazers, Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns. Felton promised to exact revenge upon his return to Portland.

"I'm a free agent so maybe those bloggers and those people who write won't have to see me again," Felton told Mark Haggard of CarolinaLive.com. "Maybe they won't, until I'm coming in on the other end and droppin' 50 on 'em. We'll see what happens. Who knows."

Thomas, 39, signed a 2-year contract with the Blazers in December 2011. He averaged 3.0 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in 53 games during his only season in Portland. He didn't play much down the stretch as the Blazers turned over the bulk of their rotation minutes to younger players.

Jeffries, 30, averaged 4.4 points and 3.9 rebounds per game in 39 games for the Knicks last season.

Gadzuric, 34, has a non-guaranteed contract worth $1.3 million for the 2012-13 season. He appeared in just two games for the Knicks last season.
