Lee probably isn't a better value than Landry, but he's probably a better player. Having both doesn't make a lot of sense, so I'm not in the "sign David Lee" camp, but I don't think Lee needs to be put down as a player. He's good.
I know he's a good player, I guess what you stated above is my point. He's pretty duplicative and is going to be very expensive. Just not worth it IMO. I think we're going to end up getting our next big in the draft anyway. I'm also in the 'no way in hell' camp in regard to Carlos Boozer
Money is the name of the game.
You will find guys that have been around the league a while that will sign with a team that has a chance to win a championship for less money.
For everybody else it's $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
