I love PM's game and if David Lee is basically a clone when it comes to hustle and style I say bring him on board. There is nothing wrong with having two PF's who hustle all night long and crash the boards like mad men. I think he'd fit in great on the team, even as a starter along side Millsap.

Yes, this would be a complete and utter waste of money.

Yes, sign Lee if at all possible.

A sign-and-trade involving Boozer and Lee makes no sense. If we're letting Boozer walk because we don't want to go over the luxury tax and commit to a longterm big-money contract to a PF who can't carry a team to a championship, why do the same for Lee who may be healthier but is not the low-post scorer and pick-and-pop player Boozer is? He's also an even worse shotblocker and given the pace at which the Knicks play Lee isn't the scorer & rebounder Boozer is either.
I'd rather sign Boozer to a 6-year deal than Lee to a 5. With Lee or Boozer, the only solution to not being $8-12 million over the tax is to lose future assets and trade Kirilenko for peanuts.

There is something wrong with tying up massive cap money for two guys that are absolute PFs with no real positional versatility at all (the Knicks being forced to play him at that slot doesn't make him a C). At least Boozer has believable length and strength to play against many Cs, besides that he's also what David Lee dreams he was.
