This would not even be a conversation had we had a lagit PG, instead of having ( your so called center) setting up the offense. How can really become a true post up play when your play book has you on the perimeter. Why you think he develope a jump shot more then anything. Had this been JVG or LB, then we would see a better defensive effort from lee, and a more post up lee.

Lee IMO is a product of his coach, thats why his defense is below AVG, and he's a jump shooting big man.

and the reason why i dont want bosh at max (only maxed guy) is what you said... he cant carry a team right now. i think its fair to say we shouldnt pay for stats from lee/bosh/amare/etc... we need parts to help win. if lee puts more effort into d and his off stats decline, yet he helps get more wins -- isnt that ideal? note i am figuring that as his effort becomes more balanced it **should or could** cause a decline in his off production.

20+10 is what we heard about zero, and amounted to little. 20+10+wins == sweeeeet. i think thats what joec32033 is alluding to. if lee puts up 15/10 on a better team, why is that so bad? in the end, lee should have been dealt with before now. either traded or signed long term, which wouldnt have had the same $$$ impact it **may** have now.

GO TEAM VENTURE!!!!!

It's not a bad thing for Lee to put up lower numbers on a winning team. Stats are for contracts only! They really don't mean anything when it comes to winning. I just want to make sure DW put's together and team that can truly contend with the best in the league. The thing is that I don't expect it to happen in one off season. Not in the sense of playing for the Title next year. This isn't the Boston Celtics situation. We could get there with a Lebron signing, but i'm not really expecting that. Short of that we're looking at a couple of years at least to get to a title series. It's gonna take 2 summers IMO.

I just wanted to throw out there that when Lee won the MVP in the rookie-sophomore allstar game, going 14/14 FG's, his partner in crime was none other then...Chris Paul. Sure it was a no-defense exhibition game, but I remember watching that game back then and thinking, man would these two look good together.

In any potential (dream) trade with Paul, I would really want to keep Lee back, especially at PF (and he'll have Okafor at C). You don't give up arguably the best PnR big man in the league, while also acquiring one of the best PnR point guards. You want to pair Paul with Lee, not Paul with Gallo. Hell, if you could keep Paul, Gallo, Lee, and also take on Okafor, we'd have cemented four of our starting 5, with the only weakness being the easy to fill SG spot.

Which actually makes me think this article may be legit, but NO doesn't want to give up Paul. They want to add Lee with Paul, and are probably dangling West and Collison as trade bait to any team.
