It's been reported that the Knicks would try to move Lee as a favor to him to get him playoff contender because at his age he doesn't fit our timetable to (hopefully) get good.

The Knicks need to move his salary and they want to give his minutes to younger players. Brass is gone also. Jesus is Lee's guy so this probably happening.

Knicks did just draft and sign two young SF's. At SG: THJr, Dot, Baker.

Last year Knicks were short at SF so Lee/THJr could start and play those positions. Minutes won't be there this year.

Plus, I think it's more about his contact and the 2 years left that the Knicks FO want to move.

Ok. I’m sure Rockets or Thunder would take him
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

both teams would have to send something back. I think the Knicks will target a player that is expiring after this season. Maybe they send a second round pick and take on more money. I think
Who ever comes back will be bought out.

The deal that has always made sense is with OKC for Singler, Abrines, Johnson. 2nd rounder(s).

I want to trade Lee in a deal that involves Kawhi to the Lakers.

Lakers get: Kawhi, Kanter
Knicks get: Ball, Randall, Deng
Spurs get: Kuzma, Lee, Lance, THJr. and Lakers' #1

I think involving ourselves in the Lakers-Spurs trade would be the way to go. I don't think your proposal makes sense for either the Spurs or Knicks though. There are too many moving parts and we end up with far too much value without giving up much of anything. At best, we'd be a destination for Loul Deng's contract and an asset but we definitely are not getting the Lakers' best asset (Ball).

Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Spurs wanting to jettison ALL their big salaried players like Aldridge, Mills and Gasol.

Agree with the folks who said OKC is the perfect team for Lee, though I don't know whether players and salaries can be matched up...

I thought he could have made a difference for them last year in the playoffs. Better offensive player than Robertson, and a good enough defender to compensate for OKC's loss of a key defender.

I thought the Cavs might have benefited from him last year, too, but that has obviously changed.

EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

Fiz said he plans on having Tim Jr more at the SG and doesn't really see him and Lee as SF's due to their height. Now we're even more overloaded at SG, so why wouldn't we ship out Lee?

I think TWolves would make sense for Lee too- they lost Crawford and need more shooters, plus he's the kind of player Thibs would like. Looking at their series, no one really matches up, unless they did a sign and trade involving Nemanja Bjelica, but that would require giving him a 3 year deal.

Also Sixers will be looking for some more 3pt shooters.

Next season we have:

PG - Ntilikina, Burke, Mudiay
SG - Hardaway Jr, Dotson, Baker
SF - Knox, Williams
PF - Hezonja, Thomas, Hicks, [KP]
C - Kanter, Robinson, Kornet, [Noah]

Obviously Courtney Lee is a good 3-and-D player and shot above 40% from three point range last season. However, he is the wrong side of 30 and unless we aim to compete for the play offs next season, it might not make sense to hold onto him and restrict the minutes of our young collection of guards and forwards. Him and Hardaway are not really ideal small forwards, they can do a job but we might be better off investing in Knox/Hezonja as the starting SF/PF combination, then using Williams off the bench at SF and either Thomas or Hicks at PF. We might even give Dotson some limited minutes at SF depending on the line up if we bring Allonzo Trier into the rotation at SG.

If we can get any picks and an expiring contract in exchange for Courtney Lee it would make sense because he isn't on the same timeline as this roster.

I like Lee. His contract isn't high for what he does. But I can see moving him for a younger player or an expiring contract and a draft pick.

Yeah, just like that Melo to Houston deal lol I think it will happen, but I wouldn't bet on it.

LMAO, yeah good chance this deal happens. Why are the Spurs doing this deal? The Knicks get the best young asset while giving up garbage no one wants

All I want is a second rounder and a salary dump for him. Anything else is not realistic. He's a nice player but he's expendable for our team since we're focusing on developing our rookies. This is year 1 of the Knicks Process, get ready for the long haul.
Rose is not the answer.

Is there no way to get a mid/late first rounder from somewhere? This guy is a rotation player without any baggage.
We shouldn't look to short sell him. He can definitely add value to a team. If we had to go get a player like him, what would be the odds of landing one without giving up something valuable? As triple threat says lets do that mirror test thingy.
