I think there will be a market for him once all the legal stuff has worked itself out, although nobody should expect the value to be terribly high. But if a team like NY gets a big like Stoudamire or Boozer in the offseason and needs a perimeter player to complement them, Curry+Jeffries with either Douglas or Chandler as part of the package would be pretty reasonable IMO.
Check out this Chad Ford piece, which pertains to that.....

As word spread over the weekend that, before the Feb. 18 trade deadline, there will be some serious interest in Chris Bosh from the Rockets and Lakers (among others), the reaction around the league was swift.
If the Raptors were to trade Bosh to a contender in February, a team with which he might want to stay, it could dramatically alter the 2010 NBA free agent landscape.
The Knicks haven’t gone that far yet. A source familiar with the Knicks thinking told ESPN.com that the plan, right now, is to stay the course and use their roughly $20 million of cap space this summer. They Knicks could greatly enhance their space if they could trade either Jared Jeffries or Eddy Curry for an expiring contract. Team president Donnie Walsh is trying to do both, but it’s difficult.
But the Knicks source also said it’s possible the Knicks may have to change their plans as well -- either trying to use their expiring contracts for talented players now or possibly putting off spending money until the summer of 2011, when both Jeffries and Curry come off the books. On the other hand, Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni, sources say, doesn’t want to wait until 2011.
That scenario Rico mentioned fits in very well with this idea of a Bosh trade and 'Arenas to the Knicks'.
