05:39 AM ET 04.01 | Multiple very informed sources told HOOPSWORLD back in December that the Denver Nuggets and the New York Knicks discussed a trade that would have sent David Lee to Denver in exchange for Linas Kleiza. The trade was later revisited before the trade deadline with the Nuggets offering additional compensation in the form of a Charlotte's conditional first round draft pick. As it turned out, the two sides were never able to reach an agreement. But how close did a potential deal actually come to being completed? Apparently close enough for members of the Denver Nuggets to engage Lee in dialogue about the possibility of having him in a Nugget uniform prior to Tuesday's game in Denver.

Linaz is a monster but David Lee is exactly what the Nuggets need. A big man with a brain.

They should have tried the human fried twinkie on their bench Curry. That would be news worthy.

As a Knicks fan, thank god this did not happen. While Dave Lee is not a franchise player, he is a double double machine, and he does the dirty work....every good team has a player like him ( think Bowen, Horry, Posey). If the Knicks get one of the coveted big name free agents in 2010, then a really good role player like Lee would be invaluable to them.

Isiah would have made that trade in heartbeat. Thank goodness he's gone. Lee aint going nowhere unless Curry or Jefferies is coming with him.

SPOT ON! I really believe they should make maximum effort to keep Lee, but if he must be traded, they need to get something for him.

If Isaiah was still at the helm this trade would've been made already.

He is a 6'8 swing player from Europe who is fairly athletic. He is not only a shooter.
