The New York Times reports that the Knicks rejected at least one offer to move up into the top 10 selections of Thursday's NBA draft.

The deal apparently would have included David Lee and another key player, possibly Jamal Crawford. The team willing to trade its lottery pick is not named. </div>

Thank God!!!!!!!!!!

That was a good move. There's no one in the top 10 who is worth Crawford and Lee. Of course if we're talking about Durant or Oden that's a different story. The pick was probably within the 7-10 range. Frankly, I think Lee is and will continue to be better than any player within that range.

I agree. What was the exact trade though?

I think it's just smoke Isiah is blowing towards the fans, because he has no clue how to run rebuild this ... franchise. Increase Craw's, and Lee's value. I just heard that Wallace opted out from the cats. In my opinion he would be a solid addition to the knicks, can block shots and do everything we need basically. Also MJ loves Craw so I would want to see a sign and trade for Wallace and the pick for Craw,Frey,Nate


On side note here are some interesting stuff I found;

Cats are going to do everything they can to sign and keep Wallace I would imagine. He's also going to be demanding way too much money for the Knick to be able to afford. I know they're not too concerned with spending but you have to draw a line when you already have Steph, Steve, Craw, Q, Curry, etc. When is David Lee's contract out? He is definitely a keeper. I actually kind of like the situation the Knicks are in if they can get rid of Steve or Steph.

I would actually get rid of Crawford too because with Curry, Steph/Steve, Q, and Crawford that's a lot of offensive minded players. I don't know how they would move any of them or what direction they're trying to go but if they get rid of a couple of those guys for active defensive minded role players they can make a harder playoff push.

I would keep Crawford for a long term cause the fact he has been our clutch shooter down at the end of games and he's proven that he can handle the pressure and deliver. And He still Young.
