This Idiot Still Thinks David Lee Playing Well Means We Should Have Kept His Ass In NY And Build Around Him And Gallo
Your dumb ass is assuming that I said build around him. We haven't built around him. He's not even considered the best player on our squad. I'm happy yall traded him for nothing. nikkas talk as if Melo would've refused to be traded to NY if Lee was there instead of Amare which is
i'll up this thread everytime Lee eats or Amare looks shytty for the Knick fans.

It's basic mathmatics.
David Lee + No Amare = No Melo
Melo > Lee
Now you could have probably packeged Lee, Gallo, and some other pieces to trade for Mello and still had cap space to ge D-Will but that would've been wishfull thinking to assume Melo would agree to come here.
No Melo = D'Antoni is probably still here. There was no good for lee to still be here.

So can you list the teams that Melo would have went to instead of NY and what they would have given up to get him? I think when you think about it along those lines you'll see his options were limited. The Bulls wasn't giving up Deng and some change for a guy that didn't play defense. And do you honestly think Melo would want to play for a hardass like Thibbs? So now we have Brooklyn, who did they have that Denver would want for Melo? Would Denver want Lopez knowing he was around the corner from a max deal? Okay so now we take Brooklyn off the table and let's add the Lakers into the mix. Who did they have that Denver would want? Let me re-phrase that, who would they be willing to give up that Denver would want? When you think of it along those lines you'll see Melo was going to NY or staying in Denver because going to a small market wasn't an option for him or Lala.

Either way you look at it even in a trade, Lee was going to be paired with Melo. A trade with Denver would have had to include Lee since he was their best player.
Plus the Knicks HAD to get somebody over the summer. They tanked 2 seasons to make that free agent splash in 2010. If they would've kept Lee and didn't bring in any big name would've been a horrible business/pr move.

Amare was their best player and they didn't trade him. I get what you saying. Your saying that Melo wouldn't want to be traded to NY if Amare wasn't there. Your also saying that they had to make a splash in 2010 to get the fans excited and I agree with that. They cleared that cap space to sign 1 or 2 stars. Coming back without a star wasn't exceptable to the fan base. The part where we differ is when we look at it today. As of today I think the Knicks would rather have Lee at 6 years 80 million than Amare at 5 years 100 million. And we differ in Melo wanting to come to NY if Amare wasn't there. That nikkas hands were tied and he didn't wanna stay in Denver. Any chance he had to get to NY he was gonna take it. And Brooklyn simply didn't have any pieces to make it happen. Denver would've taken the same exact deal without Lee being added to it. I just don't get how Knicks fans can look at both players and contracts and still come to the conclusion that they would rather have Amare. Knicks fans are actually worried the losing will stop once dude returns yet they still shytting on Lee.

1. They didn't trade Amare because his contract is imovable.
2. When Amare got here he as having an MVP caliber season before they traded for Melo.
3. A healthy Amare > A healthy Lee
I don't think Amare and Carmelo compliment each other Deron Williams would've been a better combo. The NBA lock out basically killed everything because Melo would've waited and simply became a free agent last summer. Both Lee and Amare's defense is bad to suspect at best so I don't really think it would've made that much of a difference with him staying even if Melo came anyway.
Don't argue with this guy. He's refusing to listen to logic and making his own points ..we don't miss the poor mans Kevin love @Blackthoughts ok end of story ,one Melo wouldn't have came here if we weren't a competive team the Knicks had a bad reputation . David lee would of kept us static , amare showed us he could carry a team and you agree he's not the best player on your team so what is the point of this thread ? He makes less money ok ? We don't care we didn't want lee anymore . It's nice that the warriors are doing good but so what? We don't care the Knicks aren't hurting so why make this thread
And the reason some Knicks fans are worried ( not me ) is because Melo is better at the 4 dummy which is where lee would play

He doesn't understand the process of destroying and rebuilding a team. The Knicks are tied with the clippers with the best winning percentage in the nba WITH inquiries to 2 key players. Yet we should have kept David Lee?

What's the point of this thread at THIS point?
I know . 3 years later we making David lee threads .
he's a good player but there is a salary cap for a reason we can't have everyone . Would the warriors like Tyson chandler ? I'm sure they would but he didn't sign there . You don't see us making dpoy threads towards Dallas and shyt like that . Idk why he can't just enjoy his team , we gave you lee and mark Jackson be thankful
