Any way you look at it, there is no way David Lee shouldn't be back next year. If he takes the QO then his cap hold is around $5 million in 2010 unless we renounce his Bird rights. If we resign him for $8-$9 million, it kills a major chunk of our cap room that is already taken up by Curry, Jeffries, Hill, Douglas, Chandler, and Gallinari. We need to trade him to get rid of Jeffries and get back an expiring contract with a pick and/or young player with a low salary in return. I don't see a plausible scenario where I would want this soft overrated no-defense crybaby back on our team next season.

i dunno where u get the idea i'm calling u a hater if those are your views... u basically agree w/everything i just said... it's just business, nothing personal... i'm speaking to those people who are actually angry at D Lee for asking for the amount of dollars he's asking for, & if you've read the posts of late you would see what i'm talking about.

Nah, I was piggy-backing your view actually. I quoted you to do so - not call you out about anything - I quoted you in agreeance as scary as that may sound.

David Lee is a 6th man on a very good team.

So is Nate Robinson. Therein lies our dilemma. They want starters money. You can't give them starter money and put them on the bench in the future. You won't have money for real starters.

These two don't understand this. I don't think they ever will. Nate might to a degree but not Lee. Therefore....a parting of the ways is an unfortunate but necessary option to consider. I don't care if Lee returns to The Garden one night and puts up 30/20. I just don't care. He has to be here under the right contract or he just can't be here.

agreeance sounds so much better than agreement, doesn't it?
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

It does, and if it is not a recognized word, I don't care, I like it and use it constantly.
