To give anyone on this team a contract would be rewarding them for the 23, 33 and 23 wins the last three years. I think this is a good move let Lee and the team prove they are winners, whats the point of giving these guys contracts if they prove to be losers.
Besides I not gonna give Lee a contract and jepordize a possible 2010 free agent signing.
DING DING DING! WE HAVE A WINNER.
Can Lee defend? If not, his upside is Zach Randolph. Once we overpay Lee, we're screwed. Lee deserves 7mil to start and he should play Defense this year if he thinks he is worth 10+. Players like Lee can be found every year, and in the 2nd round.
The list of players who bring what Lee does that have been found in the second round, so large.
Maybe Carlos Boozer and Michael Redd are recent second rounders who would clearly be on this list.
Any from last year?
And they must be easy to find.
We should trade away our first round picks then.
