Agreed Kiyaman, I'd say Lee is worth $10M compared to $20M for Amare or Bosh. However, those middle men (ie: Ginobli, Horry, Jefferson, Prince) can light it up from outside, and may be worth an extra couple mill for what they contribute offensively.
IMO, $8Mill is fair for DLee, but I'd hope DW tries to find a (Lee) way to pay him more if another team offers comparable bucks. Finally, we have a player the entire town LOVES (aside from a few DLee haters), we got leaner and meaner with Hill, Darko and Tony, and we're gonna lose one of our best players for a couple million? That's why I hate to see $5M offered for Grant Hill's 1-year services... we paid Eddy Curry $10M to eat fries on the bench, Jerome James $6M to sit and s*hit, Stephon $20M to hang out... it makes me so mad.
DLee haters: with Mike No-D'Antoni running the team, how can you get on a player's case by weighing his cons (no defense) over his pros (guaranteed double double, pick n roll, amazing outlet passes, positive attitude and hustle)?
As Kiyadude says, let's sign DLee, and get ourselves a true SG and center, and we're ready for 2010. oh yeah, maybe a true PG too.
I can't see us losing DLee AND N8... not only would this suck royally, but I don't wanna change my avatar... I love those guys!
