The best part of that interview was hearing him say he takes 1000 shots a day working on his J
And that he's also working on his ball handling...
now that's a work ethic! and trying to make yourself better!!!
Lee shud start as PF.....i always thought that....who do u guys think his game resembles the most/ or what it can develop into?
I wouldn't compare him to the Great Oak. The Great Oak is fearless, mean, and would put the fear of God in you. This is a man that you wouldnt want to come across in a dark alley. I like Lee though. The kid has the potential of being a knick great. There's no doubt he scraps with the best of them...
If Lee gets that jumper than we don't need Frye nemore and it would make it that much more easier 2 let Frye go

But why do we always have to trade someone? Develop Frye into a solid backup or soon to be starter. Remember Lee was never a force on defense so if he does get a J he'll be a rebounder with a J. Frye can block shots and shoot the rock. It can be also said the other way around...if frye learns how to rebound then Lee will be stuck on the bench forever. I say we keep both and play the better guy. It's that simple...they are too talented to just ship off onto another disasterous trade...

Mr. David Lee
The Knicks 2006-7 MVP of that season, was never given the RESPECT inwhich he earned game after game by Head Coach Isiah Thomas.
I am a Blackman and I seen color-prejudice on Isiah Thomas part in the use of David Lee for two seasons as his Coach and his G.M. (It hurts me to say this but it is true in the back of alot of our minds.).
David Lee is the best PF the Knicks have on their roster and this was seen and known before the 2006-7 regular season started. So David Lee should've automatically been put in the Knicks starting lineup to bring more value to his early NBA career at PF, or even at the SF position. WHY?
David Lee talents on court makes Curry and Frye talents outstanding!
1) PF-David Lee and C-Curry gives all Knicks oposition a hard way to defend them from rebounding, and scoring in the paint.
2) SF-David Lee and PF-Frye gives all Knicks oposition problems in the running game on both sides of the court.
The Knicks best Staring lineup in the 2006-7 season that outplayed their oposition in the first quarter and the third quarter were:
C-Curry
PF-Frye
SF-Lee
SG-Crawford
PG-Marbury
6thMan-Balkman
The above were the SIX-Players to build a "JELLIN" chemistry with and build the Knick team around.
This was the Knicks starting Lineup right after the Denver-Brawl, they WON 4 Games out of 5 games after the Denver-Brawl this past season.
Adding Jefferies into the Starting lineup for 30 MPG, and Francis off the bench for a three-guard offense consistently game after game to stop the main 6 player rotation that just WON 4 games out of 5 games put the Knicks back on track to raising more LOSES in the season WIN/LOST column.
Now the BIG Trade Player of the offseason Kobe Bryant wants to come to the New York Knicks, this will cost the Knicks two scoring players (Francis & Crawford whom will do everything to please Coach Jax), plus Coach Phil Jackson favorite player of this trade will be Mr. David Lee.
If there is No David Lee in this trade, than there will be No Kobe trade to the Knicks...
I like David Lee but some of you are getting a little carried away with this. I hate to break it to you guys but Lee had one good year. Not to take any thing away from him but his first year he was out shined by Frye. Now you guys are talking about Lee as if he makes Curry a better player. So basically Frye had a great rookie year and slips on his second year, while Lee steps up, way up. Now the consensus is to trade Frye and start Lee. That doesn't make much sense to me. There are allot of Curry bashers posting and that's cool but if you are going to bash Curry please get off of Lee's nuts. Don't talk up Lee to bring Curry down. The argument in its self is ridiculous.
