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.

[paul is on tilt]

LeBron better pick the Knicks.

 

[tim lincecum]

Life as a Warriors fan is never easy.

LeBron, please go to New York.

 

[andrew630]

This can't be life.

 

[ady2glude707]

Gawd this ucking front office is horrible

 

[andrew630]

%!@$ THIS FRONT OFFICE!

 

[onetrust]

WOW!

So they basically did  the same thing as last year with the "hey Warrior fans, we've signed somebody to show that we were active in the FA game."

 

[noblekane]

i like the trade.

would u guys have rather trade monta ellis for lee??

watch randolph be the next carlos rodgers anyways...

the only guy ill miss is turiaf

 

[chris82790]

^i would of rather seen that deal go down more than the one reported today.

 

[eagle 0n]

Cool, we're getting an All-Star.




Eh.

 

[fullmetal]

I like Lee but that contract sounds silly. I didn't realize dude was 27 years old

.

 

[nothingtol0se]

panic move?

 

[mftioa]

Are you $%@%$%+ serious???!?!?!?

 

[young halo]

 

[what up]

I would be fine with the deal if we gave up Wright instead of Randolph. The front office was just fully intent on getting rid of this kid.

 

[fundamental21ticket]

I like this move. The Warriors need an answer for players like Gasol, Duncan, Dirk, Aldridge, Milsap, etc. Not saying Lee will shut them down, but he's a capable defender and rebounder than any player currently in the Warriors roster. I expect that the Warriors are not done and that more moves are to come.

WOWOOWWOWWOWOOWOW DUMBEST TRADE EVER

 

[bmwstew]

This franchise is a joke, if the rumors are true how the hell do you give David Lee a 6yr/78-80 million dollar deal? Oracle needs to be burned to the ground and Riley an Arvid need to disappear forever.

 

[onetrust]

It's not Lee that i'm angry about because i like what he brings.  It's more ALL the pieces and money we are giving up for him.  Lee is nothing more than a glorified ROLE player.  I mean damn, this dude is getting damn near 80K over six years...Really?  For David Lee?  WOW!

 

[what up]

Two white dudes as your starting front court = bad idea

 

[gusyouout]

Right when things started looking okay the FO finds a way to +@%% it up once again. If this trade goes through Randolph is one of the guys that I hope pans out and plays very well.
