The 2009 Free Agency Class

It is not a lot of talent in the upcoming free agency period. The have a couple of unrestricted free agents on there roster, such as two rising stars David Lee and Nate Robinson new system

The Knicks first need to address both of those situations. David Lee flourished under the new system brought upon by Mike Dantoni. David Lee averaged 17 points and 11 rebounds. Most people thought that David Lee would struggle because he lacked an offensive game, however he proved all of the doubters wrong, by improving his jump shot entirely. The Knicks are not sure if they want to pay David Lee alot of money due to the fact that this is his first year producing these numbers. Also the Knicks dont want to over pay David Lee.





There will be many teams in the contention for Lee's services . Lee can do multiple things such as rebound the ball shoot at a high percentage and play tough defense.



The Knicks should match any teams offer to David Lee because he is a good player who is only going to get better and he is a hard worker. David Lee does not come with bagged and the Knicks be able to trust him when they give him the big dollars. This is the first move the Knicks should do in the off season.



Nate Robinson is a young energetic player who can score 20 points on any give night. Nate Robinson has matured over the past couple of years, from a shoot first PG to a PG that plays under control and has good judgement. Nate Robinson averaged 17 points 4 rebounds and 4 assists. He gets the crowd hype and plays hard on every single play. His attitude has improved drastically.



I think the Knicks should try to resign Nate Robinson however they should not over pay him. If another team goes over the Knicks price limit then the Knicks should let Nate Robinson go. Nate Robinson should take a pay cut because this is where he started his career.



What ever happened to Eddy Curry?



The Knicks should try to market Curry value as best as they can because Eddy Curry does not fit into the Knicks future plans. In the off season the Knicks should definitely try to trade Eddy Curry as soon as Possible.

If the Knicks feel that they can get better by making a move in free agency. However they should not spend a boat load of money.
