While the world waits on LeBron James‘ next move, David Lee is moving ahead.
The Knicks forward will meet with Miami, Chicago, Minnesota and New Jersey.
“Those are the only four meetings we have right now, Mark Bartelstein, Lee’s agent, said Thursday by phone.
The news was first reported by ESPN.com.
Lee, who averaged 20.2 points and 11.7 rebounds and became the first Knick since 2001 to make the All-Star Game, will meet with the Bulls and Heat on Friday in Chicago before traveling to Minnesota on Saturday.
Bartelstein said it had not been determined who will have the first meeting.
“I’ve got to figure out how we’re gonna work that out,” he said.
Bartelstein also said it was unclear when the Nets meeting would take place.
“He’ll be done within the next couple of days,” he said.
The Knicks can sign Lee to a six-year deal and use him in a sign-and-trade or he can ink a five-year deal with another team.
“There’s a lot of other teams calling with sign-and-trade scenarios and things like that,” Bartelstein said. “It’s not something we can really entertain until the Knicks figure out where they are with LeBron and this other stuff.”
BOSH MET WITH FOUR TEAMS
Chris Bosh says on Twitter he’s met with Houston, Toronto, Chicago and Miami. “We’ll see who else will come out [Thursday],” he wrote.
NETS SIGN TWO
The Nets signed free agents Ben Uzoh of Tulsa and Brian Zoubek of Duke, but it doesn’t effect their salary-cap situation.
