I can't hate on NY, especially after what their fans went through the last decade. I pick Chicago for having twice as many titles as the rest of those teams combined. Spread the wealth.
I say to hell with the Knicks. No team should ever be rewarded for openly tanking for 2 years and basically tampering with another team's player by stating blatantly that they are pursuing that player -- it also bugs me that New York writers and fans constantly use the "Mecca of basketball" bullshit, like MSG beckons to one and all, and any free agent would be a fool not to want to come play there.
Chicago easily, because they have the best base of players to which they would be adding. If they add either Wade or Lebron to that core, they're probably a 60+ win team.
New York for sure! Its the whole " Everybody wants to come play for us, we're New York", that bugs the hell outta me. I hope all this cap space clearing and promising their fans Lebron for the past 3 years, comes back and smacks them in the face!
Bingo, they have the highest potential and that team could be frightening Who the fuck cares about the Knicks? When was the last time they were truly relevant
