Latest Boozer rumor: to Knicks for David Lee

[The Goods]

Could Carlos Boozer end up in a New York Knicks uniform?

 

A scenario is reportedly being considered by the Knicks in which the team would sign restricted free-agent forward David Lee and then send him off to the Utah Jazz in exchange for Boozer, according to a story published by Newsday.

 

Lee acknowledged feeling frustrated by the fact he remains unsigned by New York so deep into the free agency period.

 

"With the four years of hard work I've put in, I'm just frustrated this thing hasn't gotten done yet with the Knicks," Lee told Newsday. "It's been frustrating enough that it has caused us now to kind of look at other options."

 

The Knicks have not made offers to either Lee or their other restricted free agent, Nate Robinson, so far this summer.

 

A potential trade for Lee could cause an interesting conundrum for the Jazz, since both he and Paul Millsap play the same position and have comparable statistics. But such a move would undoubtedly prove to be popular with the team's fan base — given Lee's reputation for solid defense and hustle play.

 

Lee led the NBA with 62 double-doubles last season and averaged a career-high 16.0 points and 11.7 rebounds for New York.

No are we just trying to make our Front Court smaller? We definitely need to go for a taller front court. Okur dosen't even count as a center honestly, Boozer was more like our Center last year when he was injured, He rebounded and played in the paint much more then Okur who decides to sit on the Perimeter and not give us any offensive rebounds or at least try to mix it up.
