On the other hand, there would have been a strong reason to keep his rebounding stats legit, or even be less "liberal" in giving out rebounds to Lee because the Knicks' management would have anticipated that Lee would be demanding more $$ from them based primarily on his rebounding prowess...

...but on the third hand- just to argue against myself- by inflating his rebounding stats and, in essence, increasing the $$ Lee would want this summer, the Knicks may have "encouraged" Lee's agent to price him too high for the teams who may have wanted to take him at 5/6 M per year, and Walsh may therefore be able to get him for less $$ than Lee hoped to get, and also win the public relations war since Lee will be viewed in these hard times as being greedy by overpricing himself.

Good article, by the way.
