Lee has a solid ability to take bigger guys off the dribble too. His ability to lay it up with either hand is a good weapon as well. He has those soft hands that you just love. I like his offensive game so far. He sticks to what he can do and that makes him very efficient. When he improves his jumper that will only make him more lethal cuz guys won't know how to defend him. Also he can take advantage of times that he's wide open from 15 ft. I wouldn't trade Lee, cuz I think he actually could be a near All Star in time.

I actually think he can get in even better shape than he's currently in. He has too much upside left for me to feel comfortable giving him up.

In all honesty could you imagine having a front court of lee, thomas and balkman? They would be the most active combo the game has ever seen.

Balkman and Lee already get every rebound, you can't put a price on second chance pts, rbs, the ability to run the break. If isiah trades lee which he tried to last year for DMiles he will be breaking his only chance at building a winner. You put these guys out on the court at the same time something isiah hasn't been able to figure out the pace of the game changes the knicks usually do great things and would have been in the playoffs

I'll remind you that the DMIles trade is still JUST A RUMOR. Since he DIDN'T trade him i'll give him credit for that too.
Isiah is RESPONSIBLE for both Lee and Balkman being on the team, so clearly he's not lost on the benefits of players like them.

I'm looking forward to seeing both get major minutes next year, along with Collins. Just thinking about how good those guys are in the effort dept. makes me happy. There's no need to try and trade Lee for some unknown quantity in the draft. Who knows if those guys are as effective in the NBA as people believe they're gonna be.
