If I did a S+T I would be looking for something like this--not necessarily in order
David Lee to Chicago for Jerome James Tyrus Thomas and the Bulls 2010 #1 pick restricted to 5 and then nothing in 2011
David Lee to Sacremento for Jason Thompson Kenny thomas and a 2010 number 1 pick restricted to 5.
David Lee and Cutino Mobley to Utah for Carlos Boozer Matt Harping and Kosta Koufus
Either I get the trade I want or no trade. Im not trading him for crp. Id rather keep him and work it out otherwise.
Pipe dream, pipe dream and pipe dream. Wake up dude - you're not getting that kind of return for this guy. Ain't happening. Start thinking realistic. And I got news for ya, Lee isn't gonna play as much as he did last year, not with all their frontcourt players (some new guys, some of the same guys, some guys returning from injury), so forget seeing him put up the same type of numbers he did last year. And those were hollow numbers anyway - Lee at 16 & 12 equalled 32 wins. He's a good role player and I respect him but he's just not on that elite, game-changing level. Not even close. You have to realize that when you come up with hypothetical trades for him. The only one that's remotely realistic is the Utah scenario but even that make's little sense -- The Jazz just re-signed Paul Milsap who I bet they think is better than Lee anyway then you're asking them to just throw in Koufos, their young skilled center of the future that they're very high on??? And how does Boozer fit here? First off he's got knee problems and only played 37 games last year. Second, he's an expiring contract who wouldn't be worth re-uping IMO, not with much better FA talent out there. Utah would never do this anyway - even if we only rented Boozer for the year, a trade like this would devalue the pick we owe them.
Too bad Drew Gooden can't be traded for months - the trade of Gooden, Shawne Williams, Nathan Jawai and the rights to Nick Calathes would've been perfect not to mention much more realistic.

It might be a pipe dream in your book but I would rather do what i had to do to keep Lee than collect a pile of garbage for him. I don't trade good players for garbage.
Yeah you said that already and I told you Gooden, Williams and Nick Calathes wouldn't have been garbage provide we could have made that trade - it's fair value in exchange for a role player that played over his head last year and who's value will diminish as he plays less minutes this year. Anything else?
When D Lee is an all star this year--come talk to me.
You got it. LMAO! 
DLee is not going anywhere.
Yesterday watched Rangers preseason game and he is the centerpiece on Knicks upcoming season commercials.
If player is not good enough to keep people attension the MSG propoganda machine will find other ways to keep him on the frontpages
