Kawakami: Warriors better without Lee

The David Lee fiasco

Grant here: According to Marcus Thompson II, the Warriors could be on the verge of trading Anthony Randolph to the Knicks for David Lee. This would be a dreadful move. The Warriors would have to pay Lee more than he’s worth (an escalating salary starting around $13 mil a year), [...]

David Lee — no way

There is talk the Warriors may trade, among others, Monta Ellis to the Knicks for David Lee. Please no. Please don't do this. The Warriors, in case you forgot, are a team that cannot play defense. David Lee is a power forward/sometime center who cannot play defense. Put those two [...]
