Bosh isn't that much better than Lee

Cuse0323 · 06-28-10, 02:59 PM

Lee and Bosh are definitely not that far apart. I would take Lee for less money, he can hit the mid-range shot as well as Bosh and rebounds just as well. There really is minimal difference between the two.

forsberg21 · 06-28-10, 03:12 PM

I'm a Raps fan and I would not give Bosh the max, he's simply not worth it. You won't win a championship with this guy as your go to guy. Remember too that he put up these numbers in a contract year.

Lee at $10-$11 mil is huge +EV in my opinion.

Bostongambler · 06-28-10, 03:12 PM

I would take Lee myself.

whatsgood5 · 06-28-10, 03:15 PM

Lee can't play Defense for shit, other than that, very solid.

Obv Bosh is a better player, but I'd give my left nut to have my Knicks re-sign him over Bosh.

OverUnder · 06-28-10, 03:16 PM

Lee is the only NBA player on his team, this is a invalid statement Bosh is a STUD

ngates815 · 06-28-10, 03:21 PM

Lee is a hustler/gives 110%.....he's gotta be (being white)

SamsNCharge99 · 06-28-10, 03:22 PM

Lee is better, I would rather keep him than lose him and get Bosh

lakerboy · 06-28-10, 03:23 PM

Only difference is color.

CashMoney · 06-28-10, 03:32 PM

Makes me wonder why the Knicks are all set to wine and dine Bosh?

As a Knicks fan I don't want Bosh over Lee.

seaborneq · 06-28-10, 04:59 PM

I have wondered why Bosh is inline for a max contract. A good player yes, a franchise player no. David Lee is not even close to being Bosh. Good numbers on a very bad team don't mean a thing.

big joe 1212 · 06-28-10, 05:06 PM

Is Lee's contract expiring already?

Seems like he just got in the NBA.

youngerthree · 06-28-10, 05:26 PM

interesting comparison thanks

elchampion33 · 06-28-10, 05:28 PM

Yeah Lee is a horrible defender but it's not like Bosh is a great one either.... I think I'd take Lee for 10-11 over a max for Bosh, Bosh is too soft for my liking and David Lee has been getting better each year, it'll be interesting to see where these 2 end up going

UntilTheNDofTimE · 06-28-10, 05:32 PM

Bosh is a back to the basket post presence that the heat would want for instance to open up the perimeter for wade and give him a go to guy. Lee is a great player and money wise i would rather have lee. But lee is a jump shooting stud. Hes not really a big post up player you want to give the ball to get you a score or get fouled. I know hes improving his post game but he dosent demand a double team as bosh does. And bosh is by far the better interior defender.

The players stats may be similar but they are completely different players.

icsky3 · 06-28-10, 05:33 PM

Bosh is sooo much better!

zigomanisinsider · 06-28-10, 05:37 PM

bosh 20 x better

Goat Milk · 06-28-10, 05:39 PM

another guy that bases who's better off stats

Bosh is a lot better than Lee. The Knicks just fastbreak and don't really have any plays under Mike D'antoni which explains why Lee is averaging the amount of points he is.

i second that.

Lee is a good player but Bosh is much better IMO

HoulihansTX · 06-28-10, 07:38 PM

I'm still wondering why people think Bosh is so good?

If he was so good, then why does Toronto use Playoffs as vacation time? Every year....

Winning games make you good, and if you cant win enough games to make it into the Eastern Conf. playoffs you are not special.

And on the topic of race... Its hard to gain notoriety as a white guy in the NBA. Its just a fact.

mlb · 06-28-10, 07:54 PM

Lee is a solid player, who any competing team would love to get their hands on, but at his best he is not as good as Bosh when he is at his best .. I think that is a big difference

konck · 06-28-10, 08:38 PM

I like Lee but he is looking for a huge contract to

konck · 06-28-10, 08:38 PM

There wont be much money difference between the 2

krk1030 · 06-28-10, 08:48 PM

None of the big free agent pf's play defense.

richyrich8478 · 06-28-10, 08:49 PM

bosh plays betta defense than lee though... lee got no defense at all...good rebounder though.... i think it tough to say whos better... they play in completely different systems.. tough to say which one is better, both good players

sideline36 · 06-28-10, 09:23 PM

Bosh is a bonafide stud! Nobody can progress in Toronto, ask Carter and Mcgragy.

jjgold · 06-28-10, 09:54 PM

Its close

I really do not know who I would pick, it depends on team and who he is going to play with

It's not entirely based off of stats but it is basketball and stats are important. I'm not saying Bosh isn't better than Lee. All I'm saying is that the discrepancy does not warrant a max contract for Bosh.

Both are solid complimentary players but I don't see how a complimentary player is deserving of a max contract.

Most of Lee's points come from the post and rebounds. He does shoot jumpers not as much as Bosh does. Lee shot 54% from the field last season. I wish the Knicks could/would have run the break more but for the they were a jump shooting team with Gallo, Duhon, Chandler, Harrington and company hosting a crap load of 3's per game. 6th in the league in 3 pt attempts last year.

Congruency · 06-29-10, 01:45 PM

I can see the argument of taking Lee over Bosh when money is involved but as far as who the better player is, its definitely Bosh

for the person who said how come Bosh cant lead his team to wins...its because Raps management is terrible surrounding him with horrible players, and they dont know how to build a winner

if LeBrons time in Cleveland has taught us anything its that one guy cant do it all
LeBron at least has another all star on his team (and happens to be the best player in the game), Bosh has been the only Raptor all star during his time here, yet they both have the same number of championships

hoopster42 · 06-29-10, 01:47 PM

lee puts up good stats because of the system he's in,, he is not nearly as good as bosh, especially on defense

pick · 06-29-10, 01:50 PM

Bosh was saying before how he wanted to be the man and will be the man for whoever he plays for and teams has to build around him, but now he's just riding Lebron's tail. Waiting to see where he go so he can follow. He know Lebron is going to be the man where ever he ends up. Bosh need to think before he speak, making him look like a fool. If he thought he was the man, why do he have to wait for another player when he can be the man and sign first. Just my opinion.
