A source close to the Blazers front office has again confirmed to me that David Lee is not in
the conversation despite the fact that Hedo Turkoglu has spurned the Blazers, apparently, in order to head to Toronto.
“Hedo’s wife had a ton to do with the decision,” the source told me. “And I haven’t heard Lee’s name in any talks since the trade deadline.”
As we reported back then, the Blazers did feel that adding Lee would add depth to their frontcourt with the question mark that was and still is Greg Oden. But the organization still has full faith that the former number one overall pick will be a franchise big.
The focus is now fully on adding Andre Miller and if they fail in that direction the team may try to make a move for Lee. The team chose to move in Hedo’s direction, so let’s see if they can reconnect with Miller.
But as for now, any discussions haven’t reached anything more than initial conversations and as we’ve told you repeatedly, if the Blazers don’t move more salary, it will be tough for them to bring in a much-needed and high priority PG along with another free agent.
I wouldnt mind if he went to Portland in a sign&trade..
we could get Fernandez or Bayless out of that..
and since Fernandez is ‘unhappy’ with the organization, that’ll make it easier..
But if there not interested, oh well..
Understand about Rudy…dude was pissed over hedo.
he’ll be okay now…
Off topic but Steve McNair was found dead of a gunshot wound. Totally f-ed.
This is crazy man
Where would Portland play Lee? Behind Aldridge? Oden?
Are they going to pay 8-10 million for a backup.
I like Lee. A lot. I just don’t see a fit for him in Portland, unless the Blazers are planning to trade Aldridge, who is paid A LOT less.
I wish there was a fit, ’cause I’d love to get back either Bayless or Fernandez.
I don’t think there are any real suitors for Lee with cap space right now. Memphis is out, Portland doesn’t seem to have a fit, Toronto is out, and OKC seems set on getting Milsap.
I would love to see Lee back in NY for $7.5 a year. Anything above that I think we are overpaying for him in this market. He would remain a prized asset at that very manageable salary.
What I’d really like to know is, are there any sign and trade options that could help us get Rubio?
Who does Kahn want that we can get in exchange for Lee?
Does someone have a stud SF ot 2-guard that is expendable in exchange for Lee?
Im just as confused as you, I have no clue why they want Lee and they are willing to pay a backup 10 million.
And If nate wants to stay for the QO I say let him stay.
Espn is reporting the trailblazers are seriously considering an offer for DLee … i hope this means a sign and trade because i would hate to lose him for nothing ….
Tommy … do you still expect Walsh to try to make a splash in the coming weeks because I know hed like to get a final roster in before the season this time and he still holds so many valuable pieces/contracts in Al Harrington Hughes Mobley and a lot of the other Eastern Conference teams are only getting better… Would hate to see the Knicks give a top 5 pick to the Jazz
Lee is not going to portland…unless they get desperate and HAVE to make a move.
It would be a sign and trade, but right now it’s not even close to being discussed.
