At this point, David Lee Roth would have about as much of a shot of gaining the respect of the Knicks as does David Lee and the the current / former / current Van Halen front man rock climbs better than he can play basketball.
Twenty three days into his free agency, David Lee seemed as hot as the Las Vegas sun. Lee, who is attending the U.S. Olympic mini-camp but not participating because of his unresolved contract, let loose his “frustration” at being nowhere close to a deal with the Knicks. “I’ve been frustrated a little bit by the amount of effort put in and it’s been tough,” Lee told reporters in Vegas. “I figured with what I’ve done for the Knicks the last four years and with what they’ve done for me, and being a fan favorite and being somebody that loves New York as much as I have the last four years, I thought something would get done a little quicker.”
The Knicks are just dying to sign and trade this guy so why don’t they just do it and get a point guard. For some reason, the Knicks are anti double-double and David Lee just won’t survive in NY. Even if they re-sign him, he’ll still have a bad taste in his mouth about all of this, and he will bolt whenever he’s an unrestricted free-agent.
I know I would.
