The more I think about it the more I believe that Lee is in fact overrated because he's putting up BIG stats in a possession heavy - uptempo offense with no other big fighting him for rebounds.
I want to come out of this process with (2) legit stars and if we can't do it all this summer I propose a sign and trade for Lee that brings back solid players that expire after the 2010 season.
So say we convince Bosh to sign in NY by himself.
Rather that resign Lee (over pay him in $ and years IMO) - we sign and trade him for something like Kenyon Martin and Ty Lawson.
This way we can still compete for the playoffs with 1 star - GALLO and guys like KMART, Lawson, Chandler, etc. but we also have Curry and KMART expirings to use on the next big free agent (MELO) or maybe Durant (2011 or 2012?)
I'm really fearful of over-paying D-Lee and I don't think Walsh is going to do it. I'd rather move him to pick up a large expiring and young asset and use my cash later for a sure star.
