fish7718 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 The Warriors and free-agent power forward David Lee have agreed to contract worth about $80 million over six years, according to team sources. The deal paves the way for a sign-and-trade with the New York Knicks. Golden State would send forward Anthony Randolph, center Ronny Turiaf and swingman Kelenna Azubuike to New York in exchange for Lee. The deal is still not official. Lee would have to sign the deal as a Knick then get traded to the Warriors. Sources said that won't happen until the Knicks know for sure that LeBron James is not going to New York. Signing Lee would eat up the salary cap space the Knicks have reserved for James. The possibility also exists that another team, such as Minnesota, could up its trade offer to the Knicks, ending the Warriors' proposed sign-and-trade deal with New York. Also, a team like New Jersey could still come in and offer Lee more than the Warriors and steal Lee away. Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted July 8, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 That's really a good deal for both teams. Lee would fit in well with Golden State, and the Knicks get two bigs and a perimeter player, instead of losing Lee for absolutely nothing in return.

Guest STL10 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Lee might get 25 ppg a game in that offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorilla Dog Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 That guy was a MONSTER at Gonzaga. Yeah, one of my all time favorite Laker.

Brand New Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 The T-Wolves could top that with Jefferson and maybe even the draft rights of Ricky Rubio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Wolf Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Heck no to adding Rubio in a deal like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Kinda have a mixed reaction to this trade...don't know what to think of it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Great pick up, and great signing by Lee. The Warriors might actually be a good team next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Overpaid though? I feel like he will be. 13 mil isn't going to be good for your second or third option that can't play defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I just remembered, David Lee and Stephen Curry were talking a lot of [expletive] to each other last year during a Warriors/Knicks game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Don't the Warriors already have Biedrins as well? The dude was a monster 2 years or so ago. I don't think they can co-exist personally but Warriors fans might be able to tell me otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they can co-exist personally but Warriors fans might be able to tell me otherwise.They are both the two best rebounders in the league besides Dwight Howard. I think they will work well together. Biedrins doesn't even have plays set for him on offense and from what I've seen, Lee has a jumper and is working on it so Nellie will love him.
