Now, do you have to deal him with the Curry contract and get minimal talent back or can we target actual talent (i.e. Sergio Rodriguez, Jason Thompson, Joachim Noah, Jevale McGee, Mike Conley)?

I can't see David Lee being dealt for any of those guys, maybe Conley. But Conley has been pretty terrible.

Best I can see happen is Lee + Curry for a corpse that expires after this season or next.

Yep, Lee and his outrageous extension demands + Curry = 2010 expirings will be explored!

His agent floated around 14M+ per year extensions during the summer. Don't you remember that?

We've seen Lee peak as a player IMO - he may become more veteran savvy while becoming less agile.

I really think we're going to see offers to take Curry off our hand if we include Lee - and we'll counter asking for a 1st round pick.

If that happens? Given what happened today we HAVE to consider it!

The guy cant walk right now because of his ankle and is finally getting healthy the last games. Just Like Bynum agent floated a max contract and he signed for about 25 million less that is their job.

Hey, I like Lee, just not at the 10M+ that he will command. I don't think he's a vital part of our future after what we saw today do you? I think it's amazing we dropped all that salary today with only giving up Mardy Collins!

I thought it was going to take 3 assets to get rid of 3 2011 deals. It's taken 1 to get rid of 2 2011 deals!

I think after everything we saw today you're going to see teams check the interest of the Knicks to trade Lee - and see what their penalty for doing so is (Curry? giving us back a 1st rounder?)
