Too bad a sign and trade couldn't be worked out.

I saw no reason to go after him last season because he was so raw, but he's polished his game up (offensively) quite a bit without taking breaks on the other end of the court. If we could get him somehow I wouldn't be as concerned with whomever else we matched up with Tim.
The new Malik Rose?
He's taller and better.
He will be overpaid. That's for sure.
Depends on his value to the particular team that pays him.
He plays taller than he is, I thought he was 6-10. It'd be great to get him, but isn't he restricted?
He's just about 6'10. The Knicks have a few contracts to shed themselves in preparation for 2010 and would be wise to hold onto Lee. I think he, Chandler, and Nate could serve as their foundation moving into the future. Wish we could pry him away somehow.
An NBA executive said Knicks president Donnie Walsh is trying to work out a sign-and-trade for forward-center David Lee in a cost-cutting move. The executive also said the Trail Blazers are trying to move up in the draft, and that former Arizona State star James Harden rubbed some people the wrong way after he blew off interviews with teams at the recent predraft camp in Chicago .

I would be very happy with either of them, but Lee has a better head on his shoulders. I would fall off my chair if either of them ended up in a Spurs jersey next season.
The only way to get David Lee would be a sign & trade with the Knicks and the Spurs have not much to offer in that regard except for Manu Ginobili - which would mean the Spurs wanting to extract more from the Knicks in the deal. And the Knicks don't have anything good to offer beyond Lee.
Doesn't seem to work out for me.
Knicks Hoping To Sign-And-Trade Lee
In an apparent attempt to maximize salary cap space in 2010 while still getting value in return, Donnie Walsh is trying to work a sign-and-trade deal for David Lee.
RealGM Note: The Globe article did not mention specifics, but the Knicks would likely look for contracts/picks in return that do not greatly impact 2010 cap space. The team may also be seeking to package the contracts of Eddy Curry or Jared Jeffries in such a deal.

The numbers would probably work with a S&T for Lee with Jeffries for Oberto/Bowen/Thomas, but as much as I would like to have Lee I think that Jeffries contract is a deal breaker. He has an ETO in 2010 that is 6.8 million. There is no way he is not picking up that option and that would cripple our ability to sign any available FA's.
Will Pistons Show Interest In Lee?

If the Knicks dangle forward David Lee in a sign-and-trade, the Pistons could be one of the teams interested.
New York is looking to clear cap space for 2010, and Detroit has significant cap room this offseason.

With the new news about New York possibly looking to throw the MLE at Gortat, we might be able to pry Lee away with an MLE offer of our own if the Knicks can't work out a sign and trade. As much as I have been campaigning for Gortat I would take Lee over him in a heartbeat.
Maybe OKC should get him it would be good player for them

He is a good player, but he is not a good defender and he is undersized and he is very limited offensively. I do not see how players like this help the Spurs in the way that is needed.
He would be a very good role player and energy guy.
Yeah that jump shooting and shot blocking and rebounding is totally not needed.
Surprised the Knicks are potentially choosing Nate over Lee. He wasn't as aggressive defensively as when he first entered the league, but he's GREAT on the receiving end of P-n-R's, has improved the range on his shot and now shoots with more confidence, has great hands in traffic, is an aggressive rebounder, and a pretty good finisher at the rim.
From Newsday's blog:
* - The Boston Globe this weekend cited an NBA executive who said Donnie Walsh was already shopping David Lee as a sign-and-trade. Nothing really earth-shattering there. While we maintain that Lee is more likely to stay, it doesn't mean Walsh shouldn't test the market to see what might become available to him with Lee as as asset. But anyone who thinks the Knicks dump David and keep Nate are misguided, especially if the above item on Rodriguez has any merit to it. I believe both are being shopped to see what kind of value can be had.
EricPark, you do not even watch the NBA. He blocks a whopping .3 shots a game and he is so far off from being a "jump shooter" as your expert analysis would have us believe.
Yes, he is a very good rebounder and hustle player, but he is a terrible defender, is small for his position, has very limited offensive skills and does not block shots. He also averages almost as many turnovers as assists.
He is a very solid player, but the type of player that could be expensive and not effective in upgrading the Spurs roster enough while hindering other moves.
123rd in 2pt jump shooting percentage

To go along with .3 blocks. Do not try and reason with him. He is seemingly a good guy, but he gets a sarcastic misinformation twig up his butt sometimes.
