Rental Players Lee and Robinson Could Be Tough for Knicks to Retain

Life in the on-deck circle has its challenges.

If the New York Knicks can't find anybody better next season for their front line, they can bring back David Lee. If the Knicks can't find anybody better for their backcourt, they can re-sign Nate Robinson.

Meanwhile, the two players on one-year contracts are doing what they can for the Knicks, who will use their $20 million-plus of salary-cap room next summer to look for guys better than Lee and Robinson. Lee is averaging 18.2 points and 10.0 rebounds, but who knows if that will be good enough for the Knicks to try to bring him back next season?

In an interview with FanHouse, Lee was asked if he will want to make a quick decision when he becomes an unrestricted free agent next July, or be willing to wait around while the Knicks possibly court the likes of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh?
