5 games since the trade
David Lee avg 20.1 14.6 rebounds 57% shooting--that is maximum contract type production
Too bad maximum contracts aren't give from 5 games of production. Oh wait, they are. Jerome James got the max MLE for Isiah for a playoff series.
He wont get maximum but there will be a team who offers him 60mm ---it's going to be his fair market value comp. Were going to have to be smart and buckle down and sign him.
Maybe we can use our draft pick next year to get rid of Curry so we can put Lee in his salary slot.
Here is the deal. David Lee is not worth $10 million a year. Market value or no market value, I'd much rather trade him at he draft for a lottery pick than waste $10 million on a role player who plays no defense.
I always find it funny how you come out of the woodwork and make these posts when someone has a big game to back up your point. I don't care if he went for 50 and 30 today. That wouldn't change my opinion on how much he is worth. The opponent tonight had a lot to do with those stats and those stats play a big role when you average them into the other 4 games. David Lee is a good, solid player who can score off put backs and grab you rebounds but he has no post game, a weak outside shot, and 0 defense. That is not worth $10 million. Reggie Evans is shorter and does the same thing and plays defense and how much does he get?
Thank you, Rick Brunson.
