How about Williams vs. Gallo in terms of long term careers? Which would you rather have for the long term and which one ends up having the better career when it's all said and done?

I think Lee has proven this year he deserves to be an all-star and with his play most definitely would be a perennial all-star alongside LeBron. Williams, at best, is a fringe all-star who made it last year as a replacement and is playing at about the same level this year, it looks like this is his peek.

It's obvious now that the Knicks are far superior than the Cavs with the cast of Lee, Gallo, Chandler, Hill, Douglas, and Bender, all players that we should have back next season, but i was just curious to what people thought of Lee vs. Williams as the second option when you take away everything else from the equation.

Getting to the meat of the issue, Lebron may be better suited to the Knicks than the Cavs. I question your certainty in finding that Lee is a most definitely a perennial all-star (who hasn't made an all-star team) and Williams is a fringe pseudo all-star (that has made and all star team).

The Knicks run a lot of plays for DLee and he creates a lot of points and rebounds by working the glass. I don't think that Lebron plus Lee and Gallo is better than the Kobe/Gasol/Bynum/Artest/Odom team, or whoever the Heat pair with Wade (and Beasley) next season, or the lil bit older Celtics.

The Knicks do run a lot of plays for Lee of course, but that wouldn't change if LeBron was on the team. It would make his life much easier. Duhon is very good at playing the pick and roll game with Lee, but it's moresore because Lee is great at it, and i think he could do it with any solid pick and roll point guard as effectively. LeBron especially would do this very well with Lee simply because he is a very good distributer and much more dangerous offensively than Duhon.

My wording in regards to Lee may have been a little off. He's never made an all-star team this is true, so it's not a forgone conclusion he's a perennial all-star. However, what is true is Lee is putting up all-star numbers this season (19pts-11rebs-3asts-58%fg) and his numbers would be the same or better alongside LeBron, and i would argue better. So it is almost certain he would be putting up perennial all-star numbers for the rest of his prime years.

I don't consider Williams an all-star. He made is last season, but as a replacement and only deserved to be a replacement. In fact, Lee could have made it in his place last year, except Williams plays with LeBron, therefore his team's record is much better. Other than that, Mo Williams is just like every other above average, shoot first PG in the league. Next year give me Randy Foye, Kirk Hinrich, Ray Felton, DJ Augustine, or even potentially Toney Douglas who could all do similar things alongside LeBron that Williams does.
