Houston, Philadelphia, San Antonio and New York are all interested in Wizards restricted free agent Jared Jeffries, according to John N. Mitchell of the Washington Times and the team must soon decide if the forward fits into their future plans.

Jeffries averaged just 25.3 minutes a game in the regular season, which concerned some teams at the time. However, when the Wizards demonstrated a need to rely on him more in the playoffs and his minutes increased, his agent, Andy Miller, believes those teams put those fears to rest.

"Teams wondered about why his minutes fluctuated, and he did to," Miller said yesterday. "I know that Jared is going to want have more confidence that he's going to see his playing time be more stable."

Sources with the Wizard have said they want to keep Jeffries, but that will no doubt depend on the offers he receives.
