Meanwhile, my cat tells me that LeBron to NY is a done deal. On a related topic, he just OD'd on catnip.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

A little birdie whispered in my ear that David already has a winky deal with the Brooklyn Nets. Seems like his best destination since he loves NYC. Forget taking back Yi. We are going to lose Lee.

Just imagine how many open layup's and dunks we'll have against Jersey the next 5 years. LOL

Can he just plain walk? Do we have his rights?

If we have his rights maybe we get lucky the way the Hawks got lucky with Josh Smith (offered 5/55 (I forget by who..memphis??) and matched by the Hawks.) when he was seeking 75M).

If not then it's not even our concern. It's out of our hands.

Anyone know?


the deal is simple. We own Lee's bird rights and thats it. We can offer him a 6 year contract and 10.5% raises every year. Another team can offer him a 5 year contract at 8% raises. Its a significant advantage to the Knicks because Lee isnt Lebron and will be looking at this contract to secure him for life. The total amount more in guarenteed money we can offer is a big plus for us. Also he wants to be here.

If the Brooklyn Nets want to offer him $14-$15mm a year good for Lee. He earned it, and he will be missed. Playing with John Wall and Brook Lopez will get him quite a few more all star appearances and Knick fans will wonder what went wrong.

Or he'll go there - become the 3rd option in a non-pick and roll offense while fighting for rebounds with Brook Lopez. Maybe his stats go to 16 and 9. He becomes a great 3rd option that is HIGHLY overpaid considering he plays NO D and can't get his own shot.

he cant get his own shot? How does a guy that scores at 55% not get his own shot? Please elaborate on this one, I REALLY want to hear. Was it all the easy shots Duhon created? The great ball movement?

You guys are funny.

I'm offering Lee a 6 year $70mm contract that starts at $9mm next year. If he's going to get more guarenteed money from another team they will have to start him at $12mm. If they say no way then I would go as high as starting him at $10mm. Thats 6 years $78mm. Thats it. If he's going to get more on the open market someone will have to start him at $13.5mm to beat that offer. If Lee can get someone to pay him 13,14,15,17,18mm the next 5 years god bless him. At that point you say he's out of our market and we would entertain sign and trades


David Lee would not be a 20/10/55% All-Star on another team. Just like Shawn Marion is no All-Star in Dallas and Boris Diaw stinks in Charlotte.


SO your saying MDA adds value?

The problem with signing and trading players is if they command a high salary you're going to be taking back high salary. Usually that player you get back is worse than the one you're trading. So it's never really a good thing. In fact in some instances you're just better off letting that player walk than trying to work out an S&T.
