Personally I’d run fast and far from the Knicks, even if it cost a few mil, but if he likes it there, so be it.
People talk about “of course he scores a lot, who else is going to?” Which is almost valid: if the opposition knows who’s getting the ball, and he scores anyway…

He has done well at center, but is not the defensive force that (as Al McGuire used to say) an aircraft carrier would be. The big question is his on-going effectiveness at power forward if the Knicks can get that force in the middle. Or, does the D’Antoni style mean that defense is not important and winning 123-122 50% of the time is okay? Maybe then Lee remains at center. In any event, he deserves to make a great deal of money.
