David Lee?

[NJNetz]

From what I hear, Lee isn't D'Antoni's type of player. Should we look at the possibility of bringing him to the Nets?

When I read the title, the first thing that came to my mind was "who do we have to take back with him?"

I'm sure Walsh would like to get rid of all of these bad contracts. If we want Lee, we'd probably be forced to take back some of their trash (James, Curry, Randolph, etc).

Really? I thought he was one of the only D'Antoni player on the Knicks.

I like David Lee a lot, but I think his value is inflated because of how much he stands out from the rest of the garbage players on his team.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>New York Daily News -
Mike D'Antoni likes players who can score, which could mean David Lee and Renaldo Balkman will be less effective this coming season.

"Mike doesn't like guys like Lee who can't shoot," a D'Antoni confidant said. "He saw him as a non-scoring power forward when he came out of Florida. But that's why a guy like Jamal Crawford is going to be around. He will thrive in Mike's system. And he likes Nate a lot, too. Mike likes guys who can make plays from anywhere on the court."</div>

The Knicks would be trading Lee for a scoring forward it sounds, and scoring's not really Boone's strongpoint.

Besides, would New York really trade with New Jersey? Teams usually seem reluctant to trade with teams in their own conference, much less teams right across the river from them.

Energy off the bench. Can't go wrong there.

This doesnt make sense.

Even though Boone and Lee both dont have a jump shot, I think Boone has a slight edge over Lee after this year.
