Knicks forward David Lee has contacted Steve Nash and will workout with Mike D'Antoni's former point guard this summer, according to a report in Newsday.

Nash is expected to help Lee learn D'Antoni's up-tempo offensive style.

"This plays perfectly into what I'm trying to do," Lee said of the system, which is similar to what he played under Billy Donovan at Florida. "My advantage against other bigs is I'm quicker and faster; I'm never going to be stronger than most of the fours or fives at this level, though I am always trying to get stronger and I will always compete physically."

Lee is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and could become a restricted free agent next summer.
