Easier to Replace: Nate or DLee
In the style of play we run, who in your opinion is easier to replace? Personally i think Lee is rather than Nate because of nates scoring and play making ability. I think a guy like Nick coliison or tyrus thomas can to similiar to what Lee does in terms of rebounds and efficient scoring along side a good pg like duhon. those two players may actually provide a bit more on the defensive end than Lee as well . What do you guys think or am I kidding myself when i think that?

Re: Easier to Replace: Nate or DLee
I would say you can name a lot more quick, scoring, playmaking hybrid guys than you can guys that can give you 16 and 12 a night. So I would say Lee would be harder to replace.
That being said, Nate is a unique player and brings a unique style to the game.
I would like to keep both. It can be done and not ruin 2010 plan if you can keep their total salaries in the $13-14MM range.

Re: Easier to Replace: Nate or DLee
in this offense, it seems everything is replaceable.. but assuming it was equal in that regard, lee is going to command at least 3-5 mill more per year than nate and he also is a weaker defender (both are weak defenders, but we need some sort of interior presence/man defender)
you arent kidding yourself either, nate is already putting up very good numbers and he aint primed.. no one is motivated like this guy i could even see him making an all star team one day.. the same can be said with lee but the more and more i see nate - dude is a special player and the hate he gets on here is 100% unwarranted and annoying as f**k cause only an idot would hate on a guy who loves playing here, gives 110%, and has the heart of a champion
taking everything into consideration (salaries included and value in a trade), id keep nate over lee any day and i love lee

Mike James gives you pretty much what you get from Nate.

these have nothing to do with eachother
david lee was a candidate based on a weak position, nate was going up against wade, joe johnson, ray ray, etc
lee: 16/12 35mpg +.1 +/-
nate: 16/4/4 29mpg +4.2 +/-
not saying nates better, but you are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY off in this attempted knock at nate and glorification of lee

Per our GM, there is one guy that is getting all the calls here in the trading deadline, not Nate, but yup, Lee. I am not suggesting Nate is trash, he is a very good sixth man but Lee is way more valuable and it's not even close.

i feel the exact same way as you.. i love lee always did thought he was one of Zeke best moves, but his numbers are a bit inflated due to the offense we run. will lee ever become a decent defender idk..he doesnt even jump to try n block shots which pisses me off.. yea a quick guard who can shoot may be easy to find but wit the heart n dedication nate has doesnt come with it all the time. Plus the fact nate mite be cheaper to keep. Thats really what im worried about cause honestly in order to have to big time free agents we cant keep both Lee and Nate. Unless Curry has drops 30 lbs and comes in next yr puttin up 17 and 11 its goin to be hard to trade him straight up

Re: Easier to Replace: Nate or DLee
No question Nate is a lot easier to replace. Quality big men are a lot harder to find then quality guards. There are a ton of guards who can score off the bench. There is probably more of those type of guys then any other in the league.
As far as Lee, even before D’Antoni he avg a double double. How many guys in the league can avg a double double? Plus its not all the system as Lee has added that midrange Jumper. Not that he is irreplaceable, but just harder to replace.

thats my point, lee is more valuable like i said in the other thread, thats why you dont deal nate because he is just as big a contributer atm and he wont get us 1/2 of what lee could
believe me i want to keep both, but based on what i just said, i cant deal nate because hes not worth anything thatd help us

On this planet. James is a point guard who's really a shooter, and who has put up exceptional numbers from time to time - especially when he's played with a single team over an entire season.

That is exactly why its harder to replace David Lee. There are a lot more quality guards then quality PF/C's out there.

Just look up his numbers. Arguments based on hype are worthless. Hype is worthless, period.

hey i agree he is, but my basis on trading either(if you had to deal 1 right now) is that lee could get us something, nate couldnt and both are contributing very similarly in terms of ppg/+/- etc

Re: Easier to Replace: Nate or DLee
you guys dont think a guy like nick collison cant put up similiar (not the same) numbers like Lee? Nate is a problem..ask Kobe he said it when we played in LA earlier in the yr
