The New York Knicks and Courtney Lee just aren’t a good fit anymore. The Knicks are looking to embrace the youth movement and shed contracts in anticipation for the summer of 2019. Lee, 32, still has two years and more than $24 million left on his deal.
According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, Lee wants a trade to a team that is much closer to contending than the youthful Knicks. Berman writes:
“According to an NBA source, Lee’s preference is to be dealt to a playoff team or a contender.
