Trade him for picks and fillers to a ****ty team. Next draft is nice Plus I would rather play a four guard line up than have Lee on the court. I am sure a number of their guards can play better defense on a PF than Lee..
On a good team David Lee is a bench player at best. Yes, he can put up good stats, but bigs who can't defend can't start on a team with title aspirations unless they 1) have an elite protecting big and 2) every other starting player is a plus defender. I've never been a fan of his game.
I think more than anything, the playoffs showed that Curry should iso much more. He has flaws, but with his shooting, when he's healthy, it's just way too easy for him. Going small and 3 ball is more of a secondary ripple. It streamlines the offense, opens up a bit more space for Curry to create. But I think they can figure it out with Lee in there as well. If they can move Lee for a significant contributor, I think that's fair enough. If not, if it's more of a salary drop, then I'd hate the move. Lee overall was a very good player last year. Btw, Lee to the Bulls for Taj Gibson + some filler? Hinrich maybe. The Bulls can rotate Lee/Noah/Boozer this year, then amnesty Boozer next summer; it solves their repeater tax issues and leaves them with a good second option at PF. The Warriors get a defensive piece at 4/5, cut salary, and in case of Hinrich get another defender and a legit backup 1/2 for one year.
Out of all the suggestions, I like this one the best. I just can't envision Toronto wanting to pick up his big salary considering they just got rid of Bargniani (however you spell his name). Pretty sure GSW would want to keep all their young guys so they wouldn't want to give up those pieces. It would have to be more of a one for one trade
