Toronto Raptors
The Raptors are widening their NBA free-agent search that now includes one of the more intriguing players on the market.
Capping a whirlwind 24 hours to open the negotiating period, league sources say Toronto is trying to obtain David Lee, an energetic rebounder who is a New York Knicks restricted free agent.
David Lee
A team source claims the Knicks will offer David Lee a four-year deal worth $32 million, which is below his asking price of $10 million per season.
Nate Robinson
David Lee and Nate Robinson received qualifying contract offers last week from the Knicks, making both players restricted free agents this summer.
The move was not announced by the Knicks, although it was considered a formality. The players’ agents confirmed that they received the paperwork just after the N.B.A. finals ended.
David Lee
In an apparent attempt to maximize salary cap space in 2010 while still getting value in return, Donnie Walsh is trying to work a sign-and-trade deal for David Lee, according to the Boston Globe.

Whenever David Lee faced questions about his future or the possibility of being traded this season, the typical response was some variation of: Those aren’t my decisions to make, and I doubt the front office cares about what I have to say.

FanNation confirmed that multiple sources told HoopsWorld back in December that the Denver Nuggets and the New York Knicks discussed a trade that would have sent David Lee to Denver in exchange for Linas Kleiza.

According to a league source, the Blazers have made another late push to acquire David Lee from the Knicks. The problem is that Knick president Donnie Walsh has told teams interested in Lee that he only comes bundled with injured center Eddy Curry.

Several team sources have confirmed that Knicks president Donnie Walsh has discussed the possibility of acquiring Marcus Camby from the Clippers. In turn, Portland has shown interest in adding David Lee to the roster for months.

It looks as if Al Harrington’s days are numbered in the bay area after being benched in the second half of last night’s game versus the Denver Nuggets.
NBA Rumors was created by three college grads who played Division III NCAA basketball for Berkeley College. Back then, basketball was our life. A day did not go by without us talking about what was going on in the NBA.
Today, we are all working in our respective industries in Midtown Manhattan. And two years after we graduated, basketball started to fall out of our radar as we started spending more time in the office and less time on the court. Therefore, we created this blog to reunite our passion for the love of NBA and basketball across the world.
We hope that you will enjoy our blog. We are intensively working on our coffee breaks to bring you the best rumors that the NBA has to offer.
