Courtney Lee said the Hornets, who the Knicks play Friday at the Garden, were too obsessed with re-signing Nicolas Batum to focus enough on his free agency. Lee had a very competent season in helping lead Charlotte to the playoffs and it earned him a four-year, $50 million package with the desperate Knicks. “I was in contact with a lot of them but I wasn’t their No. 1 priority,’’ Lee said. “Batum was. They were meeting with him and other opportunities knocked on my door for me and my family.’’ In fact, the Sixers gave Lee a stronger offer, but Joakim Noah, as reported by The Post, convinced him to join the Knicks. Lee said he would give Charlotte’s “secrets’’ to the coaching staff.
