Here’s a kind of verbatim conversation I had with a fellow before last night’s game. Him first.
“What about Bosh?”

“I think he’s gone but six week ago I thought he was staying so who knows.”
“Sign-and-trade?" “That’s what they want.”
“David Lee?”

“Sure, and something really good with him. That seems to be what the people want.”
“Makes sense.”

“Tell me about Lee.”
“If you put him out there with Bargnani and Turkoglu it might be the worst defensive front court in the history of basketball. But he’s a good guy.”

“Hmm. That might be enough.”

Toronto’s late-season collapse has him asking for help from a franchise that has trouble getting it from anywhere but Europe. Thus, he’s considered the most likely big-ticket free agent to leave.

WHY HE’D COME: The Knicks’ two-max-contract salary-cap room means he could play the sidekick role for which he’s better suited, with a sign-and-trade involving David Lee considered possible.

Did anyone notice Lee giving Bargs a friendly punch on his chest after Bargs was fouled hard yesterday,which looked positively chummy? Portent of things to come, given rumors of Bosh's NY based girl-friend? One thing that you can be sure that BC and Maurizio will do their damnest to get Gallinari along with Lee.

+1,000,000

I don't care if its the only trade available I wouldn't take Lee.
Imagine Lee, Bargs, Jose and Hedo all at 9 million + a year?
