would u guys do a package of something like lee, frye, nate, bulls 1st rnder, james, rose/jeffries to reunite KG with steph....

that would bring a big 3 of KG, Curry, Crawford, with marbary and francis

another midlvl exception in offseason can make us the top team of the east...

i believe we are at most a mediocore team however, this can give us a nice couple runs in the following years
although this would probably disrupt our chemistry we are having CHAMPIONSHIP team.


imagine carter also opting out and taking a lower paycheck....

marbary,Q,Carter,KG,Curry

i know i might be dreaming but is there any chance we can gamble with Lee's value at its high

or something of that sort for gasol?

Lee stands a good chance of improving his game offensively and defensively. While his value is high, it may very well get higher. In a year or two, he may score between 15 and 20, play solid defense, while continuing to pull down 10+ boards, pass very well and play smart basketball.

You always lose when you trade players like Lee. Look what happened when Memphis traded Battier. They went downhill and Houston prospered. Lee is that kind of player.

No. I'd rather have 14 years of Lee than 2 or 3 of KG.

If Lee ever gets injured , we will truly see how valuable he is to this franchise on the court and off of it (ticket sales).

If KG was 27, I would do it in a heart beat. KG can provide the rebounding, interior defense, passing, and consistent scoring that we lack at the PF position. However, at 30 years old, I question wehether it is worth giving up Lee and Frye, plus other players for 3-4 years of KG. I think we should keep Lee unless a team is going to give up a young big, like O'Neal or Gasol and even then, I would not trade both Lee and Frye. I would keep one and just add guys like Nate, Q, or maybe even Crawford to the deal.

Too much to give!

A double-double kinda of guy is huge for any team. You build around a guy like Lee but he is not the focal point superstar.

Successful teams need Dlees. They are the backbone of success. The Rodmans, Ben Wallaces, Rick Fox, John Havlichek kind of guys are not the stars putting up gaudy scoring numbers, but are essecial.

This is where we grow our own good players and KEEP THEM!

Notice last nite Dlee got the ball on the perimeter about every posession. He is a very good passer also!

Im saying he is a superstar, but the kid does it all!

If he can just work on his lateral movement just a bit more would help.

He is developing very well. He is a keeper.

I don't think KG takes us over the top. And I think if we were heading in that direction we would have kept some expiring contracts but Dolan, being the tightwad of the family fortune, thrifty, very diciplined and methodical (can you smell the sarcasim yet?) castrated Isiah to prevent the temptation!

The goal this year was to make the playoffs!

I doubt we could surround KG with enough to win it all without really killing our future. None of our guards have the leadership skills to handle the stress of winning 4 playoff series in one season. Be nice to even win just one in fact!

Im not bashing anyone, but take the cumulative years of Marbury, Crawford, and Francis and the lack of playoff exposure, yet alone success is really a pathetic statistic.

Why not trade curry for kg instead of lee, who is the better player, curry is garbage you play kg and dlee we are on of the better teams in the east.....

Crawford, Curry, our first round pick for kg, if we need to include another player fine

DLee is as close to untouchable as you are going to get with Knicks in my opinion. Unless we are getting back Wade, LeBron or Kobe then I would have to say no.

Bocker is you need a Designated Driver please call, I dont want you to get a DWI. I can name 15 players I would trade Lee for right now

i love the fact that you think Curry is garbage but also think we can reasonably get KG for him in a trade... either Curry's garbage like u think he is, or he's a very good young player that a team like MIN would consider trading us KG for... which is it?

Garbage is an exaggeration that I don't think anyone made, but there's plenty of options other than the two you're presenting: (a) Due to stat inflation from playing more min than he should and being the focus of the offense, maybe his perceived value is higher than his actual value. (b) Maybe his perceived value isn't even high around the league, but at least one GM can be suckered into a bad trade because that one GM thinks his value is high. Maybe some people think Mchale is one such GM.
