David Lee says it's playoffs or bust next season for the Knicks.

Lee, a steal with the 30th pick in 2005, doesn't think the 33-49 Knicks need a boost to their roster from Thursday's draft.

"We have a chance to be great," Lee said yesterday during an appearance at the Knicks summer kids camp at Floyd Bennett Field's Aviator. "The sky's the limit. We absolutely need to make the playoffs.

"We've decided as a franchise, next year that's the goal, to make the playoffs and make a push in the playoffs. Anything less is a disappointment."
