Jefferson, who won an NBA title with the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2015-16 season, spent last year with the Denver Nuggets. 

He is currently an unrestricted free agent. 

"I'm a basketball player until I am not a basketball player," Jefferson told the New York Post's Andrew Marchand. 

If he isn't signed by the start of the regular season, Jefferson could join the YES Network part-time to broadcast Brooklyn Nets games, per Marchand.
