David Lee retired

[n8 the gr8]

Who was the last guy that the Knicks drafted and made an all-star team for us prior to Lee? Was it Ewing?

Congrats and thanks on a great career, David Lee.

[gradyandrew]

Seriously, what if we had just resigned him rather than Amare? I still can't believe that we never made an attempt to bring him back. Talk about establishing a winning culture.

Congrats on your career and new hot tennis-playing wife, David, you playboy

...and would have been a better fit between melo and Chandler in the frontcourt than amare

[bobhait]

also, Walsh could have traded him to the Warriors for a draft order flip, which would have given us Steph Curry...

David Lee was one of my favorites. Enjoy the good life bro!

I'm doubious about that..

David Lee was a fantasy league stud, as dependable as they come.

My bad, two-time All-Star NBA Champion David Lee.

Whythe hell did you even have to mention that? like it's not depressing enough.

And Mike D was drooling for Curry.....my guess is he'd still be coach here had that happened and the Melo trade would likely not have materialized.

DLee...my favorite player on the knicks after the Ewing years and before the KP years.


constant pro...rebounding machine...good passer and great locker room guy.

None of those two sign with us without Amare joining us first though.

But that's besides the theme. Another thanks to D-Lee for being a bright spot while he was a Knick! Should've been the first rounder breaking the streak of own draft picks without a rookie extension.

Adding Curry to the core they were building at the time, that team would have been awesomely exciting. Instead, they got MD players he didn't want and couldn't use and to this day people still hate and blame MD for everything.

I think if the Knicks fired Hornacek and gave Lee the job nobody would be mad.

[nbafreak724]

One of my favorite Knicks. A lone bright spot during some rough years.

Sad to see him retire, I always rooted for him once he left the Knicks, but its prob a smart move on his part - got a championship, got paid, made a couple of all-star teams, and now he gets to sit back and be a trophy husband traveling around with his hot tennis wife.
