    So much for Dwyane Wade.

    Phil Jackson has found his shooting guard — and nailed down his starting five — in landing 30-year-old veteran Courtney Lee. He is a less-splashy name than Wade, but fit exactly what the Knicks’ president sought. And credit Joakim Noah for his first assist.

    Lee agreed to terms on a four-year contract, according to an NBA source. The deal is worth $48 million — an average of $12 million per year — and only after the Knicks bumped their offer. This will be Lee’s seventh team in a well-traveled but respectable career. He replaces Arron Afflalo, who opted out and signed with the Kings on Saturday for a two-year, $22 million deal.
