Can Amare Be Enough To Get Wade ?

Via Alan Hahn of Newsday

- Though it's probably mere posturing, Wade gave the Knicks good vibes during their meeting with him Friday in Chicago . A person with direct knowledge of that meeting said that when Wade was told the Knicks would build a team around him, he replied, "Just get me one player and I'll get you a ring."

*Amare won't Meet the Knicks

Look at Micheal Strahan ! Also 2009-2010 Top Jersey sales-Guess What Two Players are on The List.

It's kind of funny how people say Lebron can't become bigger than what he is or he that he already has enough endorsements. People never talk about Micheal Strahan. Ever since Micheal Strahan has won a Super Bowl in 2008. People don't talk about how Micheal Strahan has gotten a million endorsements since that Super Bowl. Subway,Vaseline Mens, Dr.Pepper, Snickers , Sports Authority and even his own T.V show ! Take all that in. At one time i couldn't turn the channel without seeing a Micheal Strahan commercial. Micheal is probably top 2 or 3 of the greatest Giants of all-time but, i wouldn't compare him to Lebron as far as Star Power. New York is still a basketball town. Imagine Winning 1 or 2 Titles in New York with the Knicks. He would double or triple Strahan's endorsements. Even without a Title he would have loads of endorsements. Let's not forget local/NYC endorsements there's so many in-city companies that would be feening to get Lebron to represent them.

Perfect example of what the New York market can do. David Lee and Nate Robinson in the Top 14 in Nba Jersey Sales for the 2009-2010 Seles lol Lebron would Blow Kobe out the Water with Merchandise the day he signed in NYC


People like Chris Broussard would say its 100% about winning with Lebron. To me its crazy that people really believe that. I believe Lebron's people are telling the media what they think people want to here.

Suns Interested In David Lee ?

Via Yahoo sports

Should the Suns lose Stoudemire, sources say Sarver is considering the possibility of making a push for New York Knicks free-agent forward David Lee(notes). For the cost-cutting Sarver, Lee could be obtainable for $20 million-$30 million less over the life of a contract. Lee could command a five-year contract worth around $60 million. It would likely take the renouncing of valued bench player Channing Frye(notes) for the Suns to aggressively pursue Lee.

Mike D'antoni & Donnie Walsh Talk Draft and Free Agency (Video)

Stephen A Smith: A Stong Source I've Known For 15 Years Told me Lebron and Bosh is Going To South Beach To Play With Wade To Win Mulitple Titles

I was listening to The Stephen A Smith Show This Mourning. He said Sources he's Known for 15 years a strong source said Lebron and Bosh will team up in Miami to Win multiple Championships. Smith also said after he talks to teams this week. He will announce He's signing with the Heat this weekend or early next week. He also said one of the reasons why Lebron won't come to New York is because Walsh is getting older and they don't know when he's going to retire and Mike D'antoni doesn't coach enough defense.


Personally I Don't See it.

I'm Going try and get The Link Stay Tuned.

"It's Almost Certain Lebron Will Not Be Returning To Cleveland" (Mia,L.A,Chi) Of Course No Mention Of New York

Jalen Rose wrote on his Twitter today that sources told him Lebron will not return to Cleveland. Ok most of us kind of thought that,but he also wrote Lebron's going to Miami,Chicago or THE CLIPPERS !!!!!!!!! As good as the Clippers Roster looks right now they always seem to have bad luck. Lets Not forget about the other team that plays in the Staples Center and the "other player" who plays in that town. Once again New York is left out. I'm sticking to what i believe. which is, if he doesn't stay in Cleveland he's coming to New York.

7 Days away,Lets hope I'm Right.

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.

Stephen A Smith :Sources Tell Me Lebron Is Leaning Towards The Knicks. (Im not Suprised)

Via RealGM and TheKnicksblog.com


During an interview on ESPN Radio in New York, Stephen A. Smith said sources have told him that James is leaning toward signing with the Knicks and that this factor played a role in Tom Izzo turning down the Cavs’ head coaching job.

“LeBron didn’t speak to Izzo because he doesn’t want to have anything to do with who the next coach of the Cavs is going to be just in case he leaves,” Smith said.

“From what my sources tell me, he still hasn’t made a final decision but he’s higher on New York now than he was a month ago. And the reality is that he is leaning more towards New York than he is towards returning to Cleveland. Izzo knew this,” he said.

Smith suggests that the prospect of competing head to head with Michael Jordan’s legacy in Chicago is dampening James’ interest in the Bulls.

“He and his people have been digging deeper and deeper … to inquire about Donnie Walsh and Mike D’Antoni around the league,” he continued. “They have been asking questions over the last week, very in-depth questions, about the New York Knicks organization.”

Yes, it’s all speculation, but my thing is, how is this speculation not as valid as Chris Broussard’s speculation about Lebron going to Chicago? You have to take it all with a grain of salt, but Stephen A. is a connected guy who knows Lebron well. Again, we’ll have to just wait until July 1st.


*I've said it before if he doesn't stay in Cleveland he's coming to New York

18 More Days (Also Thoughts On Rafer Alston Wanting To Sign With The Knicks)

18 More Days To Maybe The Biggest Day In Kncks History

Thoughts on Rafer Alston... He hasn't shot the ball well these last couple seasons, but he is a play maker as far as managing the game and getting assist. If we do get Lebron and Bosh i think it could be a good pick up, because all he would have to do is manage the game and get people shots and hopefully make open shots himself. Right now Toney Douglas hasn't shown he can be a playmaker as far as getting assist. We all know he can score and defend.

Soprano Makes a Pitch For Lebron and Takes Shots at Cleveland & New Jersey ?

Another Celebrity Pitch for Lebron. This time James Gandolfini better known as Tony Soprano at the Spike Tv's Guys Choice Awards.

Via. New York Post & Fanhouse.com

This is what Gandolfini said...

"First things first, LeBron I would like you to come to New York, if you could, If you miss Cleveland, you just have to drive across the bridge to New Jersey, it's pretty much the same thing."

According to the New York Post Lebron was in the audience, In response he just smiled (expected)

I see this as a good thing as a Knick Fan. Another Celeb Pitch for the Knicks. Imagine when Lebron Comes in to visit.
