"The New York Knicks expect to sign restricted free agent David Lee to a one-year contract at some point after Labor Day, officials familiar with the talks said Friday. Contract discussions are expected to heat up next week, with a deal expected to fall into the $6 million-to-$8 million range. The only way the deal with Lee wouldn't get done is if another team offers the Knicks a sign-and-trade scenario for a player the Knicks like at least as much as Lee and still allows for future financial flexibility. No sign-and-trades have materialized at this point, and Walsh doesn't expect any (ESPN)."
It might not be the deal Lee wanted, but that is a good chunk of change for a role player. The Knicks are also close to resigning Nate Robinson. Robinson's deal is expected to be in the same ballpark as this one. The Knicks do not want to sign anyone long term, because they are expecting to be players in the big free agent class that will be available next offseason...
