Is anyone against this idea?
Positives:
- Can either get draft picks, cheap young talent, a team to take Curry or Jeffries in return.
- Can always sign David Lee again in the off season. Either way they would have had to renounce his bird rights making him available to every NBA team. So they still will have to pay him the same amount of $ if they want him to stay here long term.
Negatives:
- Give up any hope of seeing the Knicks in 2010 playoffs
- 2010 Free Agents may get the idea that the Knicks aren't serious about winning by trading their best player.
I could live with not seeing the Knicks in the 2010 playoffs if it gives us even a small chance at improving next year and beyond.
Any trade ideas that involve David Lee? Whats a realistic expectation that they could in return for him?
