Re: Knicks making late play for Lee

I merged the two threads.

 

Re: Knicks making late play for Lee

We gave you a two year Steve Francis contract for a 5-year Zach Randolph contract. It was probably the best the Blazers could do without getting an expiring contract. Plus, they got Channing Frye who actually looked decent at the time.

 

Re: Knicks making late play for Lee

We still wasted money on a player who we never wanted to play for us or be on our roster, while Zach was actually considered a piece that Isiah wanted on his team and thought a Zach/Curry/Steph combo would work.

It was a good deal for us in the end, but we still had to eat up another Isiah mistake.

 

hmmm id take salmons and lee.

sign me up

 

Re: Knicks making late play for Lee

The fact that the Knicks liked Randolph doesn't make it a bad move for the Blazers. They were looking to rebuild and the Knicks accommodated that need. If the Knicks gave them an expiring contract for Randolph straight up, chances are the Blazers would also be wasting money on a player they never wanted to play for them.

 

Re: Knicks making late play for Lee

I was just saying because you brought up the five-year contract of Zach's but to Isiah, that probably didn't mean that much since he thought Zach was going to be a core player for them.
And not many expiring contracts cost teams more than $30-33 mil. And I didn't say it was a bad move for us, I was just saying we already ate up a bad contract from NY and probably don't want to eat up another Isiah mistake with Curry.

 

at this point every "deal" we've heard about has turned out to be dead which is always what they say about rumors. the only good news.... not much about butler accept ford. no news from washington or portland papers.

the only rumor that happened we heard about WAS the okc deal. thats cause their GM gets them what they need and makes things happen. This isnt fantasy baseball or football where you fall in love with your players. WTF...wake up pritchard.

 

I've been on the Lee bandwagon/hype train for some time now. If we can get him for cheap, then do it! As much as this sounds like sacrilege, he could make Aldridge expendable later on.....
