I'd like to see us replace Sessions with Duhon--move Duhon back to the back up PG and let Nate walk. They are going to cost roughly the same $$$ and the contract has no effect on amximum contract for 2010. To sign David Lee--I think we are going to need to get rid of Jefferies using Mobley's contract.
Two big men that werent drafted Josh Heytvelt Leo Lyons[who is quite a skill player from the 4 and who's production per minute rivaled any player in the draft]] seem to fall into our teams style of play if we were to be in a position where Lee cannot be retained.
I like Sessions, but I don't see the Knicks signing him for two reasons. One is that he'll require a contract that goes more than one year. The other is, he's not that good from three point range. Losing Jeffries with Mobley's contract is a good idea and very feasable. If we can get either Heytvelt or Lyons, he'd be nice to have on the bench particularly if we lose Lee.
With regard to losing Lee, in the interview with Tierney that's linked on another thread, D'Antoni was asked if the aquisition of Hill and Milicic meant there's no place for Lee. D'Antoni actually came out and said that Lee was better than either of them and there's always room for the better guy. There are only a few teams with cap room right now, so my guess is that Lee stays - and for less than he's hoping to get . I think Nate will walk and Douglas will replace him in the rotation unless we make a trade or sign someone to the mid-level.
