If you were the GM of a new expansion team and could pick one Knick to put on your roster, who would you pick? Pretend they all have equal salaries.
David Lee
Zach Randolph
Eddy Curry
Stephon Marburry
Jamal Crawford
Nate Robinson
Renaldo Balkman
Malik Rose

He's probably the only Knick I'd really want. I'd be willing to take the other guys on rookie salaries because that's a low gamble, though.

David Lee will fit on your team regardless of the other players

Marbury is toast, the others depend on who else you've got so they're more situational

I put Lee, but I could see myself changing my mind next year and choosing robinson. Robinson's game would be helped a lot by playing with someone other than crawford. At least Marbury would drive and dish out, which would set up nate for some open shots. Jamal just passes the ball when he has to, and takes up a lot of shots.

Lee. The only true bright spot in this whole organization.

All around good guy, non controversial. Can play basketball very well and should be starting every game and given major minutes. He's probably the only reason I'm sticking around.
I'll never trust this' team again.

Lee.

Jamal if i had another pick.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

I voted for Jamal. If I was starting a team that had no fan base I would want a guy who can create some excitement for the first few years. I'm sure there are much better players who can do that, but I'm forced to pick from our miz squad.

I cannot believe everyone is taking Lee if he is getting the same absurd salary as Crawford and Randolph.

Lee' s appeal has a lot to do with the fact that he is a value when equating contribution to salary...

Now, I too believe that Randolph has a lot to learn about playing TEAM basketball in the year 2008 but...
If LEE and Randoph had the same salary; you would have to be insane to take Lee!

Who here would not take Randolph at 2 million a year???
This poll is ridiculous --- there is not an honest man amongst you.

What are the *reasons* why you would take fat Zach over Lee? All you've done is attack those who would take Lee without giving one reason why you wouldn't.

I love what Lee brings to each game, lots of hustle and heart...
but people are drinking way to much hateraide when it concerns Zach.
Randolph has a great knack for rebounding and is a talented passer (when he chooses to pass), and unlike Lee, Zach brings an elite offensive arsenal,

Now, Zach's in an immensely immature player,,, hence the ball hogging,,, but when he is surrounded with a reliable environment, his game demeanor changes for the better.
The reason why the league wants nothing to do with him is because his contract is an albatross... he is insanely overpaid...

But if you take salaries out of the equation...
meaning Lee is no longer the bargain he is now salary-wise, and Zach's salary is more manageable..,

Once salary is negated from the equation; all the "experts" on this board would have to admit that Zach has far more skills than Lee, and is more likely to become a perennial all-star.

Zach is not a better rebounder than Lee and he's a better passer than Lee only if you ignore turnovers.

Easy Randolph is a better scorer, REBOUNDER (if disagree look at their career stats), and just all-around player period. If everything being equal in terms of salary and people would seriously even think about taking Lee over Randolph just shows how much basketballl 101 has gone out the door.

This board has just become a popularity contest its almost set in stone on whose to always be criticized and whose to always be praised.
