David Lee’s about to sign and the papers aren’t coming from 2 Penn Plaza
Don’t be surprised if David Lee ends up signing with Memphis or Oklahoma City by the end of the week. Our boy K-Berg, formerly of Newsday and currently of CBS Sports Online is reporting that the Knicks will not attempt to match the offers Lee is about to get from some of these midwestern teams. We all knew with the 2010 plan/hype that this would be difficult. Lee deserves his just due, he’s put up big numbers and is a scrappy player that has proven his worth. If he’s looking for a certain price I hope he gets it.
Lee has been one of the few Knicks in recent memory I can liken unto an Oakley or a Starks. There has simply been a shortage of real knicks in recent years, most of them fall over and die instead of standing up to fight.
Lee I wish you the best wherever you end up. Hopefully it is with us, but this is business and with the lifespan of the average NBA player being so short, I hope you get everything you’re looking for with this next contract you’re about to ink.
Love his effort on the glass and in not stopping ball movement… if he does stay I hope he gets better with his D and that DW does not overpay. If he bolts I hope the Knicks can do a sign and trade to get something in return for him and the development
