David Lee is averaging 18.1 points 14.5 rebounds and shooting 62% in the 9 games since the trade
what are those numbers worth in the NBA? Certainly it's worth 11- 12mm a year. Unless he is injured--does anyone think his production will magically stop--the guy is very consistent tough and smart.
its a great 9 game stretch. NBA GMs give $70mm contracts on 9 games? (Isiah aside).
Lee is OK4 now? Are you for real? Lee has no defensive pressense what so ever and anyone scouting the Knicks can see those numbers are inflated by minutes and the pace the Knicks play. Lee also has durability issues and is usually outplayed by opposing PFs which is why he was benched for Wilson Chandler before the trade.
I have yet to see anything to tell me the Knicks are not in the drivers seat.
fishmike--you are living in a fantasy world David Lee is not coming back to the Knicks for 6-7mm hes going to be paid 10+mm whether you believe it or not--Knicks Grizzlies Bulls Blazers or whatever team --come back to this post in the summer. The only card the Knicks have is they can match any offer. That is the only control they have.
This is starting to remind me of your posts where you said Palin would carry the GOP to a double digit victory. Or Curry would be a franchise player. You may not realize it, but you tend to drastically overstate numbers.
Sounds awfully familiar doesn't it?
