Knicks' Chandler Gets Jump On Lee

[DynastYWarrioR6]

Wilson Chandler has impressed at power forward this season and has surpassed David Lee in New York's starting lineup.

Lee is close to a big payday and asked for $10 million annually from the Knicks when discussing an extension this offseason.

"It's a realistic possibility," Lee said of being traded or signing elsewhere. "It's always human nature to think about that stuff, but at the same time, I really can't control it ... It's absolutely impossible for a guy to stay with one team his whole career. It never happens anymore. But with the 30 years of drama I've been through in a three-year period, I would love to be a part of when this thing turns around."

I guess this means that Lee is being shopped around this year...I personally don't expect him here after the trade deadline, and I see him traded within the next month or so.

Knicks are definitely shopping him. I wouldn't be surprised if they try to package him with a bad contract before the deadline. I heard he was asking for $10M/year, which is definitely too much. He's more of a $7-8M/year type of guy.

Who knows, we might even try to nab Harrington.

As much as I like David Lee he's not worth $10M IMO.
