According to an executive whose team is interested in David Lee, Lee's agent Mark Bartelstein is seeking $12 million per season for his client.

The Knicks have yet to make a formal offer but hope to re-sign the forward to a deal averaging between $7 million and $8 million per season.

"So many people are throwing so much stuff out there, it's not something I would ever talk about publicly," Bartelstein said about negotiations.

Howard Beck of the New York Times described Bartelstein as frustrated that his client was still in limbo.

"It's a shame David's not done yet. The Knicks have the ability to get him signed. The other teams don't, because they don’t know if the Knicks will match or not, or go through a sign-and-trade," Bartelstein said.

The Knicks may not be interested in being part of a sign-and-trade deal for Lee unless they receive a significant talent back.
