David Lee, a power forward who led the team in recovery and field goal percentages during the 2006-07 season, was statistically superior to Frye in almost every category, but the team's head coach, Isiah Thomas, kept Frye in the starting lineup until February 3, 2007. Thomas was a good perimeter shooter, and his perimeter shooting would make it tougher for teams to double team Knicks leading scorer Eddy Curry.

James had only appeared in 19 of the Knicks' 48 games, and had averaged 2.7 points and 1.9 rebounds in those games.

Frye was screened at a regular team physical screening in 2012 and discovered he had an enlarged heart due to dilated cardiomyopathy, causing him to miss the entire 2012–13 season.
