Bye bye David Lee

[Mamba]

A source told Ken Berger that he believes David Lee's days as with the Knicks are over.

Agent Mark Bartelstein will reportedly have Lee sign an offer sheet with the Grizzlies or Thunder that the Knicks will not be willing to match.

"It's a tough loss for New York, but they don't want to screw up their 2010 plan," the source said.

If he wants to win sooner, he'll pick OKC.

I hope none of the big name FAs sign with NY, just to spite them.

I hope none of the big name FAs sign with NY, just to spite them.

Haha, me too. Unless Kidd signs with them.

 

[Moo2K4]

Haha, me too. Unless Kidd signs with them.

I don't care about this year. I'm talking next year. I hope Bosh, Wade and LeBron all go elsewhere. I would be laughing hysterically if that happened.

Several league executives say that the Memphis Grizzlies are preparing a $40-50 million offer for New York Knicks restricted free agent David Lee(notes) . “There’s a great deal of interest in him, and a lot of teams are trying to be very creative,” his agent, Mark Bartelstein, said Wednesday morning.

Wow $10M per for David Lee. New York is definitely not matching Memphis offer.

I've been hoping that happens to every team with the 2010 plan in mind, since last season.

 

[Mamba]

Supposedly, Memphis has scrapped their offer.

 

[Chutney]

Dodged a bullet with that one. Don't why they'd even consider paying that much in the first place.

 

[Mamba]

That is absurd. I wonder if they'll still make a push for him, just less money.

 

[thedude9990]

they traded for randolph i dont know why theyd still make a push fotr him

You're right actually. Memphis isn't being smart. It's just a case of them avoiding one crappy move in favour of another crappier move.

 

[thedude9990]

there saying toronto is suppoce to make a push for him now

 

[Mr. J]

I like David Lee, but we don't have much to lose with him walking. We free up space for Jordan Hill and Chandler/Gallo to play at the 4 on occasion. Besides, I'd rather throw $10M at a better player next year.

Lee would be smarter to take our QO and become a FA when everyone is clearing out cap space.

 

[prideandglory]

I agree. I like Lee but I think our money could be going towards a better player.

Let's see how this pans out....
