Denver just gave Philly a number 1 pick for Mcgee. Please dont talk out of your arse.

I'm not the one talking multiple picks for DLee's one year of service..

Then take a reading class because the KNICKS would be getting the picks for taking on the 15,5mm

The McGee analogy is on target, and in Lee you are talking about a talented player with good character who already knows how to play in the NYC market.

He is also a good fit for our offense- passes well, moves without the ball, and he can hit the midrange shot.

Just wish he could play some D.

Im taking 15mm in cap space! That is a HUGE price no one else will pay that.

Keep our cap space Y_Y for moves like this UNTIl the time is right to use it. Draft well be opportunistic and stay away from signing people to long term 16mm+ contracts UNTIL it makes sense.

The Lakers just paid $15 mil (Lin's salary) for one late 1st round pick. 1st rounders are extremely expensive now. And Lee is way better than Lin. We could take Lee but I don't think we'd get more than a 2nd round pick.

That's irrational. A 2nd round pick cost around 1mm. The cost that I would ask is 2 #1 Sand a2 or I won't waste my space. Going back we traded david lee and it was a poor decision. We couldve just looked for an active 5 or played amare with lee.Lee was a 20-12-4 player and wanted to be here.

$1 mil? Maybe for a 2nd round pick around 55.

15.5mm is essentially telling a team u r out of free agen y for 1 year. Like someone mentioned above unfotunately the sixers have cornered the market in yhis regard. Anyhow that would be my asking price. The nba could and should do someyhing about the sixers ability to colle t draft picks for ending c ontratcs like limited to every other year

Well that was my #s based on the Rockets trade and the lack of purchasing of 1st round picks lately. But I may have missed something. Do you have examples of teams recently selling 1st round picks at prices you're suggesting?

I don't think there is a price tag its what the open market is willing to pay. Right now with philly they've boxed in the market teams will go there first for us we would need maximum compensation

Come on, no way GS does that. Teams LOVE picking up players in the final year of a contract, GS doesn't need to give picks away to get him moved.

You guys are both right. The difference with Lin was that he was only an 8 mil cap hit. Lee's deal is an extra 7 mil on the cap which would really limit what the Knicks could do in free agency. If you the Knicks organization were to sacrifice most of their cap space this offseason the compensation Briggs is proposing seems fair.

8 mil cap hit but that only matters in terms of free agent cap room. We're talking about home much teams have to pay for picks, right? The Lakers have to pay Lin's entire 15 mil salary.

Yeah I'm sure teams are in the market to give 15mm in cap space away for nothing

Face it, it's just another wacky BRIGGS scenario. Next year, when his contract is in the final year, it will be valuable as an expiring contract & if you think they will gave to give picks up to move it then you really are out of your mind.

Hector I guess you don't care that gs will pay 45mm for lees 15mm when they are forced to pay Frey green. I know there are a few idiot owners but that's a high price to pay as repeat tax offenders

Hector wrote:It's almost like I'm reading 2 different things in this thread - you realize we can't trade a 2016 1st round pick?

The original theory behind this thread was that by taking on Lee's contract, we are "helping" Golden State's cap situation, and they are rewarding us with a #1 for doing this.

I don't think there was any mention by the OP that we would give up ANY pick to take Lee.
