If the Knicks plan on moving in the right direction, signing David Lee to a contract extension would definitely be a good start. However given the history of this club, Knick fans are probably wondering how they’ll screw this one up?Â
“The Knicks have two weeks to sign David Lee to a contract extension, but his agent is unsure a deal can be completed by the Oct. 31 deadline.
The agent, Mark Bartelstein, said he had not had any meaningful discussion with the Knicks’ president, Donnie Walsh, since the start of training camp. Without an extension, Lee will become a restricted free agent next summer.
“I don’t know if I would use the word pessimistic,†Bartelstein said. “We haven’t had any discussions, so we haven’t really thought about it too much. David and I just decided he’s going to put his focus toward helping the Knicks win and recapturing the city of New York.â€
