Good numbers on a losing team, just like KP. if the knicks don't make the playoffs during KP's rookie contract, he will do just like lee..THANK YOU FOR DEVELOPING ME, but i gotta go, and why would you want to keep him, lee had 5 yrs with no playoffs.

His numbers right now on SAS are excellent. In 19 min, 7 points (59%) shooting, 6 rbs, 1.6 assists, etc (and 2nd best on/off +/- on the team). You can roughly double those if you're interested in the per 36 stats. Also, one of his all-star seasons (19 PPG, 11 RPG, 4 APG) was on a 47 win western conference team.

We drafted Jordan Hill as Lee's replacement rather then using that pick for other needs. Then thew 100mil at another PF/C rather then using that money on other needs. If we plugged Lee in and maintain stability maybe we are able to have added multiple pieces. Eventually got nothing out of trading Lee as well.

Yeah, David Lee, the lifelong Knick making sure his number one priority is making sure he's absolutely never in the lane for a posterization camera angle.

If only we had kept Nazr Mohammed. Heard he got a ring too.

Everything is about Melo to you, huh?!
Seriously, like Nalod said, what you get paid matters. Lee is making $2 mil a year. For that price, most teams can't even get a one-way player.

Not everything. Well, okay, maybe everything. Hey, most of my Lin posts don't have anything to do with Melo, Dammit! Or do they?

You don't find it even slightly amusing that people have warm fuzzies about No DLee? It's akin to wanting Crawford back because of his amazing shot selection.

So your utilitarian argument is based purely on the balance sheet, not sentiment? Gotcha. Can't argue with you there, especially because right now, the poor guy's hurt.

to be fair most of your posts are about melo and how he is unjustly crucified by the "melo haters"

so what do you think about DLee being a life long knick?
