ESPN'S ROB PARKER : LeBron can win in New York -- right now

I've been saying this for a while now, and I've been using The Celtics as an example. A Championship team can be built over night. Lets hope its 12:00 Am July 1st. Rob Parker makes few good points. One of the points he makes is the East is wide open now.

Heres's Some of the Article.

Boston Celtics

It's a wrap.

Their three-year run with the Big Three ended when they blew a 13-point, second-half lead to the Lakers in the seventh and deciding game Thursday night.
But there's just not much left here. Kevin Garnett has lost something and isn't the feared player he once was. Ray Allen, an unrestricted free agent, is either great or terrible these days. It's hard to win with a 35-year-old 2-guard who is so up-and-down.


Orlando Magic

The Magic's gone.

It's hard to look at this squad and be scared anymore. That was the case two years ago when Orlando shocked James and America and beat the Cavs in the conference finals.

And although you have to respect any team with Dwight Howard, you can't be convinced they have the right parts in place to stand in James' way next season.

Vince Carter, the big piece that was supposed to put the Magic over the top, came up small, and his conference performance has people wondering whether he'll ever have the impact there.

I've Been Saying This Forever...Interesting Article By Espn's Chris Broussard (He's Finally being open minded about the Knicks getting LBJ)

Broussard talks about how the Knicks have Donnie Walsh and Mike D'antoni two proven guys at what they do. How Donnie built great Indiana teams in the late 90's and early 2000's. He talk about how maybe Walsh can convince Lebron he can build a Championship Team quicker than lebron would think. Broussard brings up two examples that alot of Knick fans including myself have been bringing up. Look at the how the Lakers got Gasol and look how Boston got Garrnet and Allen. People don't know much expiring Contracts are valued in the Nba and the Knicks have one in Eddy Curry. Curry becomes a free agent in 2011. I think Donnie will sell Lebron all those points.


Lets hope he believes it
