The Knicks believe Courtney Lee and Tim Hardaway Jr. can be effective together, sources confirm. So the club has no immediate plans to trade Lee, their incumbent shooting guard, despite the positional overlap with Hardaway Jr., whom they've signed to a 4-year, $71 million deal. Lee is in the second year of a 4-year, $48 million deal. New York doesn't have any existing cap space but the club remains confident that it can trade Carmelo Anthony, per sources, which could potentially open up cap space to sign a point guard. The idea that Lee would not be traded was first reported by Jesus Rodriguez.
