The New York Knicks have a couple of tough decisions to make with restricted free agents

David Lee and Nate Robinson are both restricted free agents. There has been talk of the Knicks possibly trading Lee soon with the idea of freeing up some money to pursue LeBron James next summer. Still, I think that logic is flawed as Lee was outstanding for the Knicks last season. He played in 81 games (74 starts) for the Knicks last season and he averaged 34.9 minutes, 16.0 points, 11.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Lee would be the hardest player for the Knicks to replace on their roster for the 2009-2010 season, period! Nate Robinson brings instant energy off the bench and it would also be hard to replace him. Robinson played in 74 games (11 starts) for the Knicks last season and he averaged 29.9 minutes, 17.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game. The bottom line is that the Knicks should try to keep both of these guys because there is no guarantee that LeBron James will leave Cleveland to play for the Knicks.
