Mark Bartlestein, the agent for David Lee, said that Lee is putting up 500 three-point jump shots per day so far this off-season. Lee is working on improving his long-distance game.

Bartelstein said Lee's preference is to stay in New York but he expects his client to receive heavy interest from other teams this summer.

looks like everyone is trying to emulate bargs...

Lee needs a sitdown with DW. He needs to come away with an understanding of his value, and if he's part of the future here.

Ridiculous. I REALLY hope David Lee is off the team next year. You're the worst defender in the entire league and you're out there practicing taking threes. LOL Unbelieavable.

You're probably right but it's still ridiculous.

so, because a person is a poor defender, they should stop developing other parts of their game. That makes no sense. Like saying, just cause your a poor reader, you shouldn't be learning math

the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

I guess a headline of "David Lee is learning how to play man-defense" wouldn't be as interesting. I would like to see a headline that Lee is working with Oakley on how to be tough in the paint.

You know I gonna spin wit it

i knew he'd start launching up 3's next year... would much rather hear he'd been practicing on how to play better defense.

I personally root for Knicks to do nothing during the offseason and come in with no improvement in their games what so ever. I'm with sergio and TMS on this one a 100%

How about that poor reader works on their reading first? After all, it is tough to be good at math if they cannot read decently.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

NOW we are in agreement. He does need to work on his defense; start playing it with his feet and not his hand. Someone needs to tell him to jump and contest a shot from time to time. This white boy can jump so, there is no reason imo he shouldn't block at least 1shot a game.

I'm not giving him a pass on his defense, just think people undervalue him as a result of it. Undervalue him and act like expanding other aspects of his game should not be developed until he learns to D.

If we had better defenders around him his defense wouldn't seem so atrocious

& you can make this assumption because obviously Bosh has little desire to work on his game & will never be better than he is right now i guess.

Exactly. He said this at the end of last season. Why is anyone surprised that he's taking a lot of three's in off-season training? That doesn't exclude working on defense. His agent didn't say "He's jacking three's and could give a crap about defense."

It is not about who said what - it is about what somebody want to hear.
And if somebody good in math, reading is not a problem, but more of a distruction.
If this one will became a genious in math nobody will care about him reading sht...

So if David Lee starts launching 2-3 threes a game, nobody sees how that will probably negatively affect what really and truly makes him a good player, his scrappy game around the basket?

oohah

Lee has been very outspoken about improving defensively. If you havent heard him say that you have chosen not to listen. Simple fact is Lee was NOT a good offensive player and did not have any legit offensive skills to build on when he came into the league. He was a garbage hustle guy who your happy to get at pick 30. Since then he's improved his passing, shooting, handle and post moves to the point where he became an all star. Thats everything you hope for in a guy you draft. Thats a self made guy, and he did it though some of the worst management and coaching and sports history.

But who cares about signing your own guy when you can over pay for someone else's star who leads his team to 35 wins a year?

If Lebron wants to come to NY great. The self importance these guys possess is mind boggling
