Once David Lee agrees in principle to sign for the MLE with Dallas, N.Y. can hardly demand anything. If the player is willing to sign for less if his initial team won´t cooperate, they risk losing him for nothing. So you might offer Buckner + something and a pick for him, and Lee can still receive a deal around 8 mills. NY gets something in return, instead of losing him for nothing.
See also Dallasbasketball.com for more info, it´s explained there how the "Buck Shot" works.
