    Why does he get so inconsistent minutes? I don't really follow the Knicks that much, so tell me if I'm wrong, but it seems like whenever he gets good minutes he produces. He's a good energy guy and he does everything good(nothing really that great). I enjoyed watching him at UF and I just don't understand why he starts one game and then doesn't play at all the next game?

    He's been great for the Knicks, our best rebounder, brings energy, defense, even had like a 26 point game or something.

    But Brown is trying to increase the trade value or Taylor or Rose so they can get traded...so obviously...they're getting minutes.

    Lee is a part of our future...I hope.

    Exactly what I've said before. Another reason why Brown has been doing an awful job. Lee has done a great job when given minutes. In practice he works hours after to work on parts of his game and you never catch him complaining. He's our best rebounder and best energy guy and probably has as high an IQ as anyone on the team. Yet, Brown sees it necessary not to play him. It really doesn't make sense, but as Jose said, he's trying to increase their trade value, so Brown can get one of "his" type of players.

    As I see it, they've just flat-out given up and are gearing up for next season. The end of this season and next season, I'll bet you can look for him to get a full-time starting role. Make no mistake MrJ, Lee IS one of Brown's type of players. I'd go so far as to say that he's looking at making him a central part of the rebuilding process, along with Frye. Right now, though, he's trying to develop some more offense and other parts of his game.
