David Lee是尼克隊的備案 - NBA

New York missed out on Greg Monroe -- one of its top targets -- earlier
Thursday when the big man opted to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Knicks have a glaring hole on the front line and will continue to try and
address it through free agency.

New York met with Robin Lopez on Wednesday night in Los Angeles and one
source said after the meeting that there was mutual interest between the
Knicks and the free-agent big man.

Another big man on the Knicks' radar is Golden State's David Lee. The Knicks
have discussed internally the possibility of trading for Lee, who was drafted
by New York in 2005 and played his first five seasons there, sources
confirmed.

Golden State would benefit from dealing Lee because removing his salary would
lower its potential luxury tax bill. Golden State could also agree to buy Lee
out of the final year of his contract and allow him to become a free agent.

Lee would be open to a return to New York as a free agent, according to a
source familiar with his thinking.

"He still loves the fans there," the source said. "He'd be willing to gamble
on the Knicks like they gambled on him when they drafted him."


尼克在錯失了門羅後

若DAJ或Robin Lopez也未成

尼克會設法將David Lee交易回來

勇士隊正好也在聯盟到處詢問送出David Lee

「他依然熱愛那裡的球迷，」知情人表示，「他願意在尼克身上賭一賭，就像當年他們在
選秀大會上願意賭一賭David Lee一樣。」

或許此時是他鳳還巢的好時機
