the knicks franchise player

Rookie
the knicks franchise player according to hoopsworld.com is ..... (drumrollll) david lee! .... I think he maye e awsome in the system and he already has the heart and grit to be the leader of a team ... ur thoughts
I think that this is right because a franchise player must be a real leader not only a star or a scorer like McGrady or MARBURY..... a franchise player must be a good person that plays for the team not for him , a franchise player must be a player that helps his team every day whit defense,rebounds and intensity . only david lee is a real franchise player (gallinari is too young and a rookie but in milan he was the franchise player, so in the future....)

Man Wilson Chandler has the potential to be way better than David Lee in a few years. IMO Lee isn't a franchise player type. He's a solid contributing role player to a championship team type.

Chandler has potential written all over him, Lee can be effective even as a starter but as a rebounding guy that can score from time to time. Not a franchise player, that's pushing it. We can see Chandler is strong in every aspect of the game, and his defense makes you actually drool at what kind of player this guy can be....like Shawn marion or Josh SMith perhaps come into mind.

Yup, but he isn't worth the money he is getting. He is still the most talented and if he ever motivated himself, could be an all star again.

Whoever wrote that article never watched a Knick game. Lee is a fan favorite and hustles and rebounds. That doesn't make him anything but a solid role player and possible starter, not a franchise player. I never thought I'd say this but this person makes Lee overrated. If anything our upcoming star is Wilson Chandler and no one even knows if he can become a "franchise player." You look at every other team? Joe Johnson, Dwayne Wade, Lebron....Lee isn't even close in these class of players and leadership they have.

Obviously! If any of the major contenders could select a Knicks player for free I dare say the vast majority would go for Lee. He`s blue collar, smart, selfless and determined. Please don`t trade him!

However, get rid of Marbury quick as Usain Bolt on ice in a hurry.
Put some nitrous in that jet engine and fire him off to Italy. All aspirations any team ever had with him on their roster have been a failure. Especially the aspirations that arrived with him here at my beloved Knicks franchise:barf:.

It was doomed from the start.

He`s clearly unintelligent.
Obviously disloyal.
Swimming in unjust self adoration.
An expensive tumor.

Please New York! Ridding us of Marbury is the initial step in building toward something far greater that could never be achieved with him on the team.

Go Knicks 08/09.

Best of luck. Let`s go Fat Eddy 34, bring it back this year! Go JC11, Nate, Lee, Gallinari, Chandler and for god`S sake ZBo turn it up.

Glory shall reign in the Garden once again!

Oh so you've had barbecues wit Stephon and his family now? you know exactly how he will approach this year? Even though he is fighting for a decent contact next year and has been known as a nothing since coming here, he has something to prove and he knows it. I disagree. I think he will come out strong and try better than he has the past few years. I think he wants to surprise people and leave on a good note.

For all pratical purposes David Lee is our franchise player because he's the only one that can energize the entire fan base. Marbury may be the most "talented" player and the most over-paid on the roster but he's not the franchise player.

Lee is the franchise player because he can energize the fans, plays with heart, brings maximum effort and is prepared to play every time his number is called. And most important he isn't LAZY. Now how many guys on the roster can you say have those qualities?

And the news of his father passing away have any affect on his approach towards the game? Something that drastic usually hits cocky players like Stephon pretty hard. And changes them in some positive way.
