Isiah Thomas has designated David Lee as untouchable in any trade discussions this summer.

"We put a lot into him," Thomas said of Lee. "We want to keep him and we have no intentions of moving him."

The Knicks do have some interest in making another major trade this summer to acquire Ron Artest.  But the team is reluctant to part with any of its young players in such a deal, given Artest's turbulent history and his ability to terminate his contract after this coming season.
