GOOD TRADE
I like the trade not just becaz I'm a Knicks fan and it would be great to get those players for Lee. For the Blazers i'm not sure paying Lee a decent amount of money and putting him on the bench works. As for Washington would be makes sense for them to cut salary maybe draft a power forward that plays some defense. Overall a very good trade and all 3 teams will be making big moves in the offseason.

bad trade
david lee can't be traded on draft night coz he's a rfa. ny is getting screwed, not much talent returning to their team. they're giving up an all-star caliber power forward for garbage. does this trade even work under the cap? there's like 10 mil going out of washington and they're only taking back half of it.

I spent some time and thought of a pretty good 3 team trade that would provide some cap relief for washington, point guard options for new york, and a player the blazers covet.
