Give Mark Bartlestein credit, the guy knows what being an agent is all about. Rumors have swirled that the agent for David Lee has been campaigning to try and get his client top dollar. In essence, that’s his job.
At the same time, what you have to love about Knicks president Donnie Walsh is his patience, [...]

So, my mole has confirmed to me once again that the Blazers are rolling out the red carpet for Hedo Turkoglu, in fact, he’s in the great northwest as we speak. He’s out there listening to the Blazers offer, but as my source has told me, the chances of him signing with the Blaze is [...]

Update: July 2- 8:45:
Via Berger:
“… League sources indicated early Thursday that the Raptors also were contemplating an offer to restricted free agent David Lee. Any offer to Lee, by definition, would be in the $8-$10 million range so it would test the Knicks‘ threshold for matching. And Lee’s list of potential suitors shrank by one Wednesday when Memphis [...]

Via Frank Isola:
“…A team source claims the Knicks will offer Lee a four-year deal worth $32 million, which is below his asking price of $10 million per season. The Knicks have the right to match any offer given to Lee, as well as Robinson, but the club wants to remain fiscally responsible as it pertains [...]

Via Ken Berger:
“…David Lee’s days in New York are effectively over, said a source who believes that agent Mark Bartelstein will find the Knicks‘ choking point and exceed it by a dollar in negotiations with Oklahoma City and/or Memphis. “It’s a tough loss for New York, but they don’t want to screw up their 2010 [...]

Howard Beck has yet another strong article in today’s Times and does a great job of putting the market in perspective. There are some interesting things of note in how the market lays out for all 2009 free agents.
“…More than 100 players will become free agents at midnight Tuesday. Negotiations will commence soon after, although [...]

Well, not necessarily. Ric Bucher has begun his list of the top 20 free agents to hit the open market on Wednesday. At #18, he lists our very own David Lee behind other power forwards such as Paul Millsap and Drew Gooden. According to Bucher:
“18. David Lee, PF/C, Knicks (RFA)
His Game: [...]

The 2009-2010 Knicks will have one thing that last year’s team did not. Well, aside from a winning record, next year’s team will also have some size… some desperately needed size. Knicks fans, raise your hands if you grew tired of watching the Knicks get dominated in the paint by the opposition. How many hands [...]

Got an interesting Tweet from “Section 518″ who had a thought that I had on Thursday once I heard that Ty Lawson was traded to Denver.
Walsh loves Lawson, and it may seem that the Rubio deal doesn’t have the right parts. Not sure the Wolves would want David Lee with both Kevin Love and Al [...]

With impending free agency right around the corner, it appears that one suitor who was once hot and heavy for David Lee, no longer has interest.
A source close to the Blazers braintrust has informed TKB that the Blazers seem to have an off season plan in place and that they are desperately trying to move [...]
