I'm beginning to believe Josh Boone is as good or even better[because of D] than David Lee

So, after a grand total of 2 games with double double's this year, and two games of doing pretty much nothing statistically, Boone is now better than Lee, who's been doing this since he entered the NBA?

BRIGGS, after the first two preseason games you said we should pay Lee 10 million a year for 6 years.

You think Boone deserves this or did Lee suddenly become a mediocre player since then?

I'd like to know where David's game has gone so quickly? He's not playing hard enough.

Here's a good example of why Lee is being underrated here.

He is quite good at several of the intangibles on the court, particularly on offense, that helps win games.

His defense is something you have to wonder about, but he is a hard worker, and you have to think that over time he has a good chance to improve.

Well, I wonder if his ankle is really 100%, but it is curious.

I don't think someone's play can drop off that quickly if there is not something going on.

He still shot 6-10 last night, but I suspect the ankle may be hurting other aspects of his game that are dependent upon his athletic ability, such as rebounding.

I don't think Lee's renegotiation is going to matter when the time comes. His numbers are either down or up. His rebounds are down so far, he's scoring about his norm and for some reason so far he's only shooting 60% from the line. I think it has a lot to do with the offensive spread. We no longer have just four guys putting up the numbers on a given night. Now we have double that. In other words, no one is leading this team and if you want to put a label on it, then Nate is probably the leading candidate.

But on the other hand, Lee's assists and steals are up. And that's due to the uptempo game we are now running. So I can see Lee ending up taking a mediocre contract at best. I think it was a good move for Walsh not to resign them and wait and see. Unless Lee can put up better numbers, then he cannot demand a huge contract and LOL if he wants to go somewhere else.

Lee is a good contributor in this system. And that's what this team is going to be about. Surround that kind of team around a guy like Lebron and you have a very, very good team in two years. So it's not just about making the contracts and money good, it's also about putting together something that you build something else around.
I'll never trust this' team again.

There are a lot of players better than Josh, but if people keep on pushing for Lee's departure, make sure your right about that.

There must have been about 1 to 200 scenarios on how to get rid of Lee, but not one of them consistent.

It isn't that people want to bring in someone better, it's just that they want to get rid of Lee. They'd trade him for Rick Brunson if they could.

I'm an advocate on what not' to do when making such reckless suggestions. There is more to Lee and our other Knick players, then just being a great athlete or not.

That is my opinion.

where have u ever seen a trade idea involving Lee that involved dumping him for a garbage player & no other asset?

Could be but Lee did not have a good game at all last night. Stats lie many times. He shot 6-10 but most of the time it was because Jamison or McGee rotated off him in the post to cover the hot shooting from the guards or he shot from the outside when Randolph was doubled in the post. McGee outplayed him badly even when McGee was missing dunks and letting rebounds go out of bounds.

Yep. After this game Lee is done.
They should let him go.

The reality of that draft is that every player picked after 20 was rated higher than Balkman prior to the draft. The rumor that Phoenix wanted Balkman was rebutted verbally by MDA and again when he took over coaching the Knicks and Balkman was traded for a future second round pick.

the reality is that everyone on this board that questioned that pick wanted the Knicks to take Marcus Williams & he ended up being garbage himself... i think we woulda lost out w/either pick we made... at least Balk had a chance to fill a role we were in need of at the time... Marcus Williams woulda been another Anthony Roberson for us if we'd have drafted him cuz there's no way he woulda won playing time over Marbs, Jamal or Nate.
