The Warriors and Knicks have agreed in principle to asign-and-trade deal that would send power forward David Lee to GoldenState for Anthony Randolph, Ronny Turiaf and Kelenna Azubuike, multiplesources confirmed on Thursday.
According to one source, the terms of Lee’s contract have been agreedto, the paperwork has been completed and all that’s needed are thepertinent signatures.
Oh, and one other thing: LeBron James needs to make it official tonightthat he’s not signing with the Knicks. At this point, indications arethat he won’t. But the Knicks want to make sure.
Should James pull a late surprise and choose New York, the Knicks wouldhave to renounce the rights to Lee, which would make him anunrestricted free agent.
That would kill the sign-and-trade for Lee. However, if James announceshe will play for Cleveland, Miami or any team other than the Knicks,then the Warriors have a deal, according to the sources.
A deal that would be completed by the end of today.
The Knicks still have myriad options regarding free agency in generaland Lee in particular, and there remains a touch of uncertainty ontheir end. But the Warriors’ front office, including owner Chris Cohan,has green-lighted the deal and is only waiting for New York’s approval.
Lee’s deal would be for six seasons with an average salary ofapproximately $13 million, according to a source. The total package issaid to be just under $80 million.
The price for Lee won’t just come in terms of dollars. The Warriorsalso must part with Anthony Randolph, a 20-year-old with plenty ofpotential. But what the Warriors get in Lee is more of a finishedproduct, and a player who was an NBA All-Star in 2010.
The Warriors haven’t had an all-star since 1997.
Lee, who averaged 20.2 points and 11.7 rebounds per game last year forthe Knicks, drew interest from several teams, including the MinnesotaTimberwolves, Phoenix Suns and New Jersey Nets.
