Knicks president Donnie Walsh said it is unlikely that David Lee will be traded ahead of the February trade deadline and that the club is committed to re-signing the star forward, the New York Post is reporting.
Because Lee is a restricted free agent, the Knicks have all the control because they can match any offer sheet.
"That's the key," Walsh said.
Is is believed that Lee's representatives were asking for $10 million per season before the season, which New York did not want to pay.
