David Lee?

What's the possibility of landing David Lee to the Clippers if a team decides to do a sign and trade for Kaman?

Just wondering...

In that case, we can use David Lee at the 4 or 5. Possibly start at the 5 for a faster offense which Baron Davis can lead. He also can help add a lot of rebounds and is a better player than Kaman.

What do you guys think? Or am I just hoping for too much?

Why would we need another big man ?

and then this would severely damage the 2010 plan.

In Gordon we trust

On second thought

If it is a sign in trade I guess it would make sense the salaries would match. But no way I see this happening.

Kaman > Lee by a mile... a long mile. Sorry

Lee

is a 20-10 player and led the league in double doubles last year. He’s also a more versatile player than Kaman

Lee can be a 20-10 player.

the kid actually work through diversity. Remember when people were talking about how bad the guy can be? He proved critics wrong. Also, David Lee hussles. Like I said before, I love that in a guy. The guy pretty much works hard for his money.

I would take David Lee over a lazy Kaman anyday! BUT, if Kaman was 2.0, I don’t know…

Kaman has a trade kicker in his contract.

Not sure who pays, but if i remember correctly its substantial.

Not to mention

David Lee would be base year compensation in any sign and trade. I haven’t really considered it, but it would seem to be a difficult transaction, if not impossible.

I want to love you, BYC

But I can’t…because…the salary cap is

Shoot, its not very musical I guess.

Not sure the money works, but I’d take Lee over Kaman any day. Can we make that deal today? Now would be good.

and why would the Knicks do it?

They might end up losing Lee because they are trying to keep their cap space, taking on Kaman’s contract would essentially leave their team as is and hope Lebron likes what they have (which I doubt he will).
