Lee may be looking for $10mil... Nate is also up for an extension
Cap is around $60mil... payroll is around $100 right now.
Would you give him the $10mil?
I would.
When you think about extensions you have to look at work ethic of a player and durability. For instance, Kenyon Martin seemed well worth his extension but he hadnt played a full season in his whole carreer leading up to the extension, including 20 missed game the year the extension was granted. So was it a major surprise that he broke down soon after he was granted the extension? Lets take Erik Dampeir as a player thought to be a All Star player in his contract year, but has tanked since signing due to a lack of work ethic.But the good news for Knick fans is that both Lee and Robinson are players who work hard and have gotten better every year! Both players have shown to be durable and hard working, so I have to agree with you that Lee should be resigned and I think Nate as well. I know that we all dream for the day that we are under cap, and these signings could make it even longer before we are, but there are certain players who you don't let go. Neither one are All Stars, but the type of players that just help tems win, like Bruce Bowen is to the Spurs or Hedo to The Magic.
Lee 10 million per
Nate 7-8 million per
