I think the knicks will draft a guard, and Nate will be the one to go.

I can't see teams throwing huge amounts of money at Lee given his obvious defensive liabilities, and the fact that he was perhaps the best player on a 30 win team.

But why wouldn't the Pistons sign David Lee to a decent offer sheet. They're way under the cap and have a gaping hole in the frontcourt if they let Rasheed walk. I don't see any other restricted free agents the would go after instead.

Mr. Boozer seems like a good fit.

He stays for 6 year 50 mil with last year player option. You can mark it down.

He'll be back and a major part of this team

we will be getting bigger this summer and Lee will play PF now that his jumper has improved and Harrington is potential trade bait

He will get eaten alive at PF. Even centers are getting by him now. It will get very ugly if he plays PF. Check 82games.com. He only makes out well at the 5. He gets abused when he plays the 4.

Gee hes #2 in the league in rebounding and gets his in points ever single night

His FG# is top 10.

He is blasted for lack of D but hes the only big on the floor and has no help or backup really, except for Wilcox who only recently started playing.

Yet he'll get eaten alive at PF? Why exactly when hes playing so well out of position?

You think hes too slow to guard PFs? I dont see that but regardless he isnt exactly controlling the paint right now.

This team needs a shot blocking center on defense and then Lee can play man to man D at PF. His rotation on the perimeter is excellent and hes all hustle so I dont see why he cant thrive at the 4 on either end

I do believe Lee & Nate will both be back next year. But, it all depends on the draft lottery. If the Knicks somehow get a top 3 pick, I think we will look to move Lee with Curry or Jeffries for something, but i do think he will be back.
