Knicks sign-and-trading David Lee to Warriors

[BC Eagle]

Lee is going to be an animal in Nelly Ball...

[bdreason]

Terrible signing. Nelly is gone after next season, and so is his run n gun (more like run n lose) system. Now we're stuck with an undersized guy with inflated stats for 5 years.

I have no doubt that Lee will put up big numbers like he did last year in NY... but it won't translate to wins. We need to get rid of long contracts for new ownership... not acquire more.

Maybe the Knicks will now re-up Al Harrington for say 1 year, $8 million to play alongside Amare.

He's pretty much the best that there is out there.

Is it really for 80 mill?

Another stupid move by the warriors management

and to think i was glad we didnt have cap room to overpay a free agent this offseason the warriors managment kicked me in the ass and did this.

80 mill??!?!?!??!?!?! for david lee?

[bluechox]

knicks dont need harrington
gallo and randolph are gonna improve big time next season with a sabilizing force of amare. we just gotta get a decent point guard who can shoot

lebron who?

I know. Say goodbye 2014 #1 draft pick.

Come on guys. Turiaf actually will be wanted by other teams, if we try to trade him out. And he makes "just" about 4 million both years, instead of the 6 mil JJ made. He's a very nice defensive presence with pretty legit size.

Definitely a better piece than Jeffries ever was. Plus, who knows, maybe even with him being here next year, we might still have enough cap once Curry comes off the books. Leave it to Donnie, everything will be alright.

If Turiaf can make wide open looks under the basket he's already 1000x the player Jared Jeffries is. No matter what his contract looks like.

so true.

Warrior fans, don't dismiss Lee. He will be a consistent double-double guy for you and he has a non-stop motor, along with a tremendous work ethic. He has been the most consistent player on the Knicks roster over the last three years, and will offer you the same traits he brought to the NYK.

While he lacks the oomph that Wade, James, Bosh and Amar'e brought, in my opinion he was one of the top ten free agents in this class. Getting him was a good haul for you guys.

Also, I'm liking what New York was able to get in return. I see D'Antoni using Randolph much along the same lines he used Shawn Marion, who was at his absolute best under D's watch. D'Antoni will bring out the best in Randolph, and his system is a perfect fit for Randolph's skill set. Azibuke (sic) is solid as they come, and Turiaf will bring a very nice defensive presence off the bench.

It was a good trade for both teams, in my opinion.

So.....Redick?

[NY-Knicks]

So.....Redick?

I like him, depends on the money we need to throw at him. We are stacked at the two with Bill Walker, Kelenna Azubuike, Andy Rautins and even Wilson Chandler sometimes plays shooting guard. We need to focus on a point guard.

I say rent Rafer Alston this year and make a play for Tony Parker next year

[NY-Knicks]

Rafer wants to be a Knick and we could probably get him for the veteran minimum so I don't see negatives. We only have Toney at the one.

Lee is going to be an animal in Nelly Ball...

As a huge David Lee fan, I feel the exact same way.

I could easily see him being the 2nd offensive option in GS (yes, over Monta) and wouldn't doubt that he continues to put up anywhere in the region of 18+ ppg and 11+ rebounds per game, especially with how many rebounds will be available in GS.
