Re: David Lee Seeking 13 Million Per Year?

As far as playing QRich at PF in small ball. If I remember right, he was a PF in college at Depaul. Thats why he slipped alot int he draft. He was a drastically undersized PF who had to switch to the wing. Ironically, I think one of the big knocks on him was his lack of a 3pt shot. He was a hell of a slasher and a damn good rebounder for his size.

Re: David Lee Seeking 13 Million Per Year?

an average of 8 mil per year is the absolute max i'd even consider for lee.

that means the salary would be starting closer to the 6-7 mil range.

Better take a look around the league...

And see what guys are getting. I actually agree with the Grinch on this one. Not worth it but might get 10+. I DO think he could get close to 20 a game, though, if his jumper continues to improve. He really only needs 6-7 fg a game. He gets to the line a lot and shoots FT well. He doesn't take many shots and he gets around 12ppg now. Not sure you want him to be a focal point though. Let him do what he does.

Not to mention....

In games where he played 32+ minutes, he averaged 14/10.8 Anyone care to find out how many players could match that? On close to 50% shooting? With a couple of assists? And a steal or 2? The guy is so close to a 20/12 guy it isn't funny...and he does it in the flow of the game. The closer you look, the better he gets.

Re: David Lee Seeking 13 Million Per Year?

LOL at this guy trying to pull a Darko. He will get 5 to 6 million at the most IMO, meaning he will get a 3 year MLE type deal.

that's true, but if the decision was mine i'd much rather let him walk and get nothing in return than sign him to a contract like that.

i think a good # of GM's would agree with you.

but walsh works for dolan who does not believe he should ever lose a player over money...i think the knicks wind up giving lee at least 10 mil. a year.

Re: David Lee Seeking 13 Million Per Year?

I would say the maximum Lee could possibly command is 9 million, while Robinson is in the range of 6.5 to 7.5 and no more. Knowing the Knicks, they'll probably get some overgloated contracts.

^ Anyone who gives Robinson more than $5 million per will regret it shortly.

Re: David Lee Seeking 13 Million Per Year?

Hey I can't blame his agent for trying.If it were me I'd look at what the knicks are paying other guys,compare their performance with David lee's performance and ask for the Max too.He may not have heard about Isiah's firing I guess.

Re: David Lee Seeking 13 Million Per Year?

That's really a huge reach. I think 5 million is a little bit too much already. Lee is a 3 million dollar player in my opinion. He's an energy guy, and can be replaced easily. Yes, he's a fan's favorite, but people needs to keep their sane.

Re: David Lee Seeking 13 Million Per Year?

^ $3 million for Lee is far too low. Trenton Hassell is making $4.35, and Kendrick Perkins and Reggie Evans about the same. Lee's a considerable upgrade over each of those - though Hassell is admittedly a SF.
