The New York Times reports David Lee's agent, Mark Bartelstein, is seeking $12M per season for the restricted free agent.


I know he is a double double machine, but he has to be crazy to think someone was going to pony up that much money.

Too bad he is most likely playing for a qualifying offer.

I like him but he was in that Dantoni offense that inflates #'s. Ask Shawn Marion about this.

I remember watching a few Knicks games last year, and watching him "play" defense...  it was like he didn't even care.  About as bad a defender as I've seen.

I'm seeking a 4 million dollar contract, neither is going to happen.

If Lee waits until next year, he might get that offer.

I can't see him getting it this offseason.

So basically that means Powe is worth 12 mil a year as well? Lee is a good player, but i've watched a good amount of knicks games and he's about as good as Leon was.... (imo Leon was better)

why do people assume it was the system with Lee?  This is not his first double double season (and in the first he was actually a better rebounder on a percentage basis, he just played less minutes).  Lee was doing this before D'Antoni and he will do it after D'Antoni.  He is also still young.  12 million seems a bit high on first blush, but if Bargnani signs for 10 million, Lee is worth 12 million.

Doubt he gets it. He is misjudging the marketplace.

I want a date with Megan Fox. I think Lee and I are both not getting what we want.

Lee does a couple o1f Nike and SportsCenter commercials and thinks he's an allstar now? Put it this way; If Big Baby got as many minutes lst year as Lee, he would have better numbers. BBD is struggling to get a 5 mil a year offer, and Lee thinks he's worth 12??? Just because Andrew Hymen conned the Lakers into giving him 14 mil does not mean he can do the same. Especially in the Free Agency market before 2010.
