Rebounding is a part of defense, just like position, blocks, and steals. Let's take a player, we'll call him player x. Player x plays relatively bad defense but rebounds the ball. Now, let's say player x stops rebounding. He plays relatively bad defense and he does not rebound the ball. How would you characterize his overall defensive value, did it go up or down? It went down right, because rebounding is a part of defense. A player can still be a good defender but not a great rebounder, because there are other aspects of defense. However, a bad defender who rebounds the ball is better than a bad defender that does not rebound the ball. Why? Because rebounding is a part of defense.

Uh....OK.
That's assuming all things are equal. Amare is a better man on man defender the Lee IMO. He has lapses but Lee doesn't play defense period.
IMO swapping Amare for Lee will be trading more rebounding for less man on man defense.

Who said anything about David Lee and Amare Stoudemire? That subject is done, we have moved on to defense/rebounding and player X. Please stay on topic.

I told you I would mention Lee when I was referring to him. You are catching on.

I don't remember a big debate about Nash but its probably my memory conveniently forgetting things that don't support my position...
