We all know by now with the cap situations and the Knicks still having to pay a few players like Eddy Curry and Jarred Jeffries past 2010, keeping both Nate Robinson and David Lee could potentially be a problem to signing a second superstar.

Jay Greenberg of the NY Post wrote about this today. Heres what his piece comes down to: "Should it come down to either Robinson or David Lee this summer to save space for a proposed Robin to accompany the theoretical Batman the following July, the Knicks will have a hard time choosing Lee, a revelation who has recorded 21 consecutive double doubles. That's how dynamic Robinson has been."

Lets get real. Get rid of Nate. David Lee has the most double doubles in the league this season. Nate's a knucklehead who takes way to many bad shots. Don't get me wrong, the guy is amazingly impressive and as everyone says (and I agree) he is a freak of nature. But get rid of him, the Knicks shouldve pulled the trigger on the Nate & Jeffries for Kenny Thomas deal at the deadline last week.

On Monday at the Knicks game, I was discussing Nate with some of the other teams scouts. While Nate was exploding for 42 points, they were discussing and explaining how they want nothing to do with him. Nate would make a shot and then they would turn to me "andddd there's Jarret Jack [Nates man] wide open for another three." I can't tell you how many times during the game a line of that sort came up. "And the mouth on him! look at him talking again, someone needs to tell him to just play basketball." Every shot Nate hit they were nervous because they knew it could (would) turn into a terrible one. Mike D'Antoni has said himself: "the good thing about Robinson is he can get a shot anytime he wants and the bad thing about Robinson is he can get a shot anytime he wants."

So lets end this debate. Nate's a phenomenal athlete and puts on a show each night, but the debate should be over. When it comes to a 2010 player, a piece of a team that the Knicks want to put together for a championship, you need the guy who makes smart decisions on the court and is going to put up that double double every night. David Lee is a championship piece. Nate Robinson is a piece of entertainment to tide us over.
