    Interesting. I wonder if this was when he looked through the blinds or after.

    If we turned down Lee for Jack and our pick, we made the wrong trade.

    I think KP wanted DJ Augustine badly and when he wasn't on the board we stuck with the Indy deal out of desperation and took Bayless. We should have been on the phone with the Knicks immediately when DJ was taken and taken that trade.

    so who is correct?????

    j. quick who says this rumor has no legs.

    ny media who says its in the works and needs a 3rd party.


    Something to consider though...usually KP says we are content with what we have or teh cake is baking. today it was more of a "no comment" type response.

    hmmmmm..maybe he realizes we need a fucking trade yesterday.

    How often is the NY media right? Peter Vecsey is one of the main writers for them and has he EVER been right?

    Or maybe, KP is just being his quiet self. He never says anything about any situation.

    If you guys really want to dump Bayless so soon, then I wouldn't worry too much. KP can still get a lot of value if he wants to use him. He can trade Bayless for Lee straight across if he wants.

    i think KP wanted augustin or westbrook badly but only because he didnt think bayless would still be available by the time we picked. all the draft boards had bayless going to okc (#4)just days before the draft. i think if westbrook or augustin were on this squad or better yet if jerryd was on okc or charlotte a lot of people would have different opinions.

    NY has been trying to dump Lee for a year now.

    He's a solid backup who will never be happy in that spot, so a chemistry problem there.

    And he's not really the athletic type we've been building with, more of a basic boardman.

    your negativity is so sad, verging on pathetic.

    You're right - too bad we don't still have Steve Patterson running the show! Or Whitsett. Now there were some guys who really knew how to run a team!

    Although if KP was 95% of this board, the other 5% of us would have a lot more inside information.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'd much rather have Bayless than Lee. Lee is a good starter, Bayless has the chance to be significantly more than that. Considering also need and how close Lee is to free agency, nothing really causes me to prefer Lee.

    If Lee were on the table now for Bayless, I'd turn it down, without question.

    One thing to take into consideration is that D'antoni's system inflates #s.

    Remember when the Blazers traded for Harvey Grant? He looked good in Washington, and sucked ass in Portland.

    Have you seen him play? Lee is very athletic and one of the quickest big men getting from one end of the court to the other....ummm...and isn't he a starter now, puting up 15/10...at center since Curry's out

    true, but keep in mind the team that has him when he becomes a free agent can always offer more...so if it comes down to money...his team has the upper hand
