The Free Agency rumor mill and junk heap

The question is: Is his cavs team good enough to beat the Bulls? I think not. Why go there. Is his Nets team going to be enough to beat the Bulls? No.

Just rack up insane individual stats on the Knicks until they get their shit together.

 

I lean the same way. Prohkorov (sic?) is a helluva lot more compelling owner to play for than Dolan (Jay-Z can't hurt either) and it's not like the Nets are completely devoid of talent; they somehow managed to clear the cap while still holding onto a pretty damn good point guard and a great young center. The Knicks? he can play for _antoni and never win a fucking thing, and the New York fans will turn on him in two years flat when he doesn't win shit.

 

This is what I think...LeBron and Shaq go to the Knicks. They spread a little out for some role players...but still keep cap room for NEXT summer and clear it out....then make a run at Carmello Anthony. Same position but who cares, that would be insane.

 

Why doesn't he just go play with a better player in Wade now instead of waiting a summer to go after Melo?

 

I'm saying if Wade and Bosh sign in Chicago.

 

He may not have a choice in the matter.

 

I'm confused. I'm sure the Bulls would rather have LeBron and Bosh or LeBron and Wade over Wade and Bosh. So if LeBron really wanted to play with one of Bosh/Wade, I don't think anyone would object.

 

Yeah, its still the Nets though. 3 years being known as a "New Jersey Net"?

 

Sure, but maybe LeBron doesn't want to be in Jordan's shadow in Chicago. I think he cares more about being a histoical icon than winning rings immediately. He wants to be the best player for a franchise, and a legendary franchise like the Knicks that don't really win that much.....would be better than the BUlls.

 

They have the caproom for two MAX free agents because they gave away Hinrich to WAS without taking back any salary.

 

To be fair, he was a Cleveland Cavalier for 7 years.

 

Then he can go to Miami. Or they work some sort of S/T with the Nets. I really, really, really, can't see LeBron wanting to go to NYK, but maybe that's just me.

 

He'll get 10x the exposure as a Knick. Paparazzi will be everywhere. He loves the attention.

 

Well that's a lot of speculation.

 

fixed

 

New Yorks fans must be MUCH more patient then I remember.

I bet he is booed when they haven't won a ring by March. Yes, I know it's technically impossible, but I think NYK fans only know self-hate at this point.

That Isaiah Thomas reign would have that effect on any fanbase.

 

Hey Denny given the Deng to Portland thread, I've re-assessed the validity of the Deng for CP3 argument.

ESPN reporting that Joe Johnson is indeed staying with the Hawks. It has already been discussed how people feel about that much for JJ. I just think it adds to the chances that one of the teams with a bunch of cap space is not going to be happy with their offseason.
