New New York
Quiet Storm
David Lee has conceded to the fact that he is not going to get a multi year offer from another team. He and his agent have agreed to accept a one year deal from NY at the price Donnie offered a multi year deal at
So why arent things moving?
Simple, Donnie Walsh is in serious discussions with someone, who, I have no idea? My theory it is a dark horse team (not Port. or Utah who have been linked to trade rumors), my guess is maybe Chicago.
Now the deal may not end up happening, David could be a Knick come two weeks from now. But there is a deal being discussed, trust that!
Reason I say a "dark horse team" is because Walsh's trades so far had not been rumored to happening before they took place. Look at four of Walsh's five trades, only the Darko Q-Rich deal was reported before it happened, the other four came out of nowhere. I say this because some of might think because we are not hearing any rumblings in the medis then nothing is happening.
My theory is, a lack of news about David Lee in fact means something is happening! With training camp scheduled to open in now less than two weeks, it wouldnt make sense for this process to be drawn out as long if it did not need to be.
You may say "well it is just as quiet on the Nate Robinson front", my answer to that is I think the trade will either include a combo guard, thus Donnie waiting to see how it plays out before signing Nate, or it could be a deal involving both Lee and Nate! Either scenerio explains why Nate's situation is taking so long too!
I honestly love the Lee for Blake and Outlaw trade if they throw in Bayless or a first rounder next year (although Outlaw would represent our 3rd starter worthy SF). Look if Duhon looked great running the Point, Blake would look almost All Star worthy doing it.
I think we could package sign Lee at a multiyear deal for 8 million package him and Jefferies to Sac. for Shareef's and Kenny Thomas' contract.
Anyways, just know that David is being shopped as we speak
