Basketball Nonsense

I love David Lee as a player, consistently is a decent scorer and rebounder every night! Around 18-10 if I remember.

I’m curious where the Blazers will make room if they go through with it. I think Channing Frye is a great talent and is already getting bench splinters. What do you think?

Here is what SLAMonline had to say about the Blazers free agent strategy after being snubbed by Hedo Turkoglu:

Portland doesn’t want to get left at the alter all alone again: “The Blazers and the agent for Knicks forward David Lee held July 4 talks following Hedo Turkoglu’s stunning rejection of Portland’s contract offer Friday. The Blazers have interest in Lee, but still are not prepared to sign Lee, a restricted free agent, to an offer sheet, fearful that the Knicks will match a proposal that would start at $9 million a year. That’s great news for Knicks president Donnie Walsh. The Blazers don’t want to be tied up for 10 days as they wait for the Knicks to decide whether to match, according to agent Mark Bartelstein. ‘If he was unrestricted, he would’ve been signed July 1,’ Bartelstein said.”
