Is this based on new information?

Well, since nobody cares to post it...

Orlando Interested in Adding Duhon? By Tommy Dee - Aug 7, 2009 5:42 pm First off to summarize on David Lee, hoopsworld.com publisher Steve Kyler says that the Knicks have a 4-year- $38 million dollar deal to Lee on the table and a one- year deal for 7-million, which Lee’s camp is balking at. Kyler also notes that Chris Duhon is a trade piece, maybe to Orlando who just traded Rafer Alston and could be looking for a backup point guard. According to Kyler,  the Magic could offer their trade exception, which they received in the Hedu Turkoglu deal. Remember, Kyler covered the Magic and for Basketball News Services. I haven’t heard the Knicks offer to Lee, but if his camp is looking for 10 or 11 per, I wonder if $38 million over 4 years, to Walsh, is the “right number.” Click on the right and listen to my interview and to listen to my last interview with Steve, click here.

I saw this but is lee and his dumbass agent gonna take it?? If they dont I tell lee play this yr ,become unrestricted and take your chances next yr.No one is rushing to take lee at 11-12 mil so if im Walsh I make it clear this is a take it or leave it offer. Then I go look for a team so that I trade lee to some Godforsaken team like golden state etc... His agent is killing him and we have talked about this before.

Man, if i was one of these fellows, i'd take damn near anything they give me-- you're still a freakin' millionaire whether it's 12 a year or 3 a year. you're talking millions here, MILLIONS of dollars.

Man, pro sports is really sickening if you look at it.

LOL
If you are working as regular guy - is it important to you to get salary of 30K per year or 120K?
In every business and for every position there is a price tag. It set by market and you had to folow it. This is the rule of the game not anybodies wish.

4 yrs 38 mil....

2009: 8mil
2010: 9mil
2011: 10mil
2012: 11mil

IF (big if) this is indeed an offer on the table for David, i'd say Walsh is being very fair. 9.5 per season.

I don't really believe it though. He would be basically 20% of our cap in the summer of 2Max FAs.

20% + 30% + 30% = 80%.

The rest of the team would have to be rookies and minimum vets.

If this is true - Lee will sign to it...
If he will not - he is defenetally delusional.

I highly doubt this is true--consider the source.

David Lee's direct market is set---4 years 32mm or less. I have to think that Portland's offer to Millsap is what David should get or perhaps close to it i.e 30mm for 4 etc...

I really dont think it will be with the Knicks--I dont see the Knicks throwing out that contract.

Were probably going to lose Lee because we didnt execute that trade with Nate and Jefferies.

At the time, I didn't think the Nate & Jefferies for ending garbage made sense.

However, if Nate isn't part of the future here- and that's clear from the lack of offers from Walsh to him- why the F didn't we do that trade?

Did something happen between the deadline and the end of the season that changed Walsh's mind about Nate?


Unless there is something about the proposed Sac trade we don't know about, I think its pretty hard to defend Walsh for not pulling the trigger.

4 years at $38 mill is about right for Lee. The one year at $7 mill is about a million too low. I would offer one year at $8 mill. Otherwise, these are pretty fair deals that Lee has little chance of beating. He should take the money.
