Courtney Lee, Knicks working towards deal

Courtney Lee

Shooting guard Courtney Lee is the New York Knicks’ top free agent target, and it sounds like the two sides are going to reach an agreement soon.

The Verticals Shams Charania reports that Lee and the Knicks are meeting to finalize a deal on Friday morning. However, Charania’s colleague Adrian Wojnarowski says the Knicks are talking with Eric Gordon and have made him their top target.

Lee shot 45.4 percent on field goals last season with the Hornets and Grizzlies, including 37.8 on threes. He also shot 83.9 percent from the line last season.

In addition to Lee, the Knicks are also trying to sign Austin Rivers as a backup point guard, per the New York Post’s Marc Berman.

If the Knicks are able to sign one or both players, they will have a vastly different look next season. They already acquired Derrick Rose in a trade, it’s a foregone conclusion that they will sign Joakim Noah, and adding Lee would give them another new starter.
