Pringles man aka Mike D'Antoni's nickname because of the mustache.

Well I just bought a case of new coke and I'm getting ready to watch the NFL draft....and the JETS draft Ken O'Brien.

All these stupid ass Jets fans were screaming about Dan Marino but I'm not trippin' becuase I know the Jets organization knows what its doing

Still here and wont say a work when Lee get 17 and 11 and 1 block per game and they make the playoffs and he will be the best player. Just going to sit back and enjoy. Enyspree no hair in my mouth I make him shave.

Good one.

His game has improved in some area every year. This year he will be better defensively and still put up big number and they will improve on wins just like they did last year.

Uh hello? Jerry West was getting old anyway. Zeke about to knock NY on its ass. Watch what I say.

Pippen is faster but there is no way he can guard Charles Smith inside...with ewing an oakley there, Smith should score every time down.

LOL i laughed outloud on that one

I don't get why no team like Dallas or San Antonio or Boston even offered Lee the full MLE for 5 years (unless he isn't as good as King says). Yeah, there's the risk the Knicks will match but then there's no loss anyway. It ties up the MLE for the 7 day period when you're waiting for the Knicks to potentially match but it's not like there's another "17/11 with 1 block/game" player that they'd be signing for the MLE in that 7 day period anyway. And it's hard to imagine the Knicks actually matching and adding $32 mil to their future payrolls given the 2010 plan.

it's probably b/c:

1. his agent wasn't going to let him sign for that cheap
2. knicks would match that contract

restricted free agents have tough time getting long term deals...especially in this nba economic climate...

That would have been a great situation for his agent. He makes a heck of a lot more money if Lee signs a $32 mil deal than a $8 mil deal. And he still makes that money if the Knicks match. Put a player option on the third year and Lee can choose to test the FA market again soon if he has a big year or can sit pretty with $32 mil guaranteed. I think it's as simple as no team wanting to make a long-term commitment to him. It's the only explanation that makes sense.
