Instead of starting bret gardner or platooning a group of guys the yankee's will sign johnny in the next week to ten days for about 5 million for one yr, maybe incentives, both sides would like to make a deal, scott boras is the reason it wasn't done 4 weeks ago!! 

PS:: spoke to some people, say 75 percent or greater chance of deal happening!

Everybody is under a misconception that the Knicks will lose David Lee because of the whole salary cap 2010 thing.  Number one, if the knicks get any of the stars in 2010 it is only going to be one, and only james and wade are franchise players!!. David Lee seems to want to stay with the knicks, I saw him seating a few rows over wearing a Rangers Jersey during the Hockey Playoffs at the Garden.  Here is a few thing nobody in the media will talk about, He loves New York and playing for the knicks, why would he go to play for memphis? or some other team in a city that culd care less about basketball.  David Lee also may come from the wealthiest family out of every Current!!, his family is one of the wealthiest in ST Louis. unlike many NBa players who sign large deals to buy homes for their parents or extended family, Lee's family is on the other side, they give away millions a year in charity.  also remaining with the knicks would mean the best shot at endorsments for a player like Lee, he is much more marketable in New York with his popularity of the fans in place and the New York allure.  The knicks could easily sign him and say goodbye to Al Harrington after the season who Wilson Chandler could replace.  Also without Lee and Robinson signed the knicks shot at Lebron goes down cause he knows they could play in this league.
