Anyway, if Bosh wants to play with LeBron, its going to be in Cleveland. LeBron has no reason (bs Steven A. makes up doesn't count) to go to NY. If he were going to he would have gone last time, when you could actually make a case for it.

...as opposed to the Knicks who haven't added a legitimate star for 25 years (and even then it was through the draft). Oh yes, obviously NY is everyone's favorate free agent destination, lol.
Your right, LBJ (who is so ego driven he wouldn't shake hands because "he's a winner") would not be interested in becoming THE premier player in the history of the team in the biggest city in America.
When is the last time the Knicks had cap room? The '90s when MJ almost went there and they signed Allan Houston instead?
I'd think since LBJ isn't going anywhere, he'd just sign an extension instead of making "his beloved city" sweat so much....
There you go thinking small again. NYC is irrelevant. LeBron want to be the premier player in the history of the world. He's already so much bigger than NY that the city has nothing to offer.
Sinse when does cap room have anything to do with adding a star? The Lakers (and Heat for that matter) added Shaq without cap room. Boston got Garnett without cap room. Those deals happened because those stars wanted to play for those organizations.
Stars don't want to play for the Knicks though, that's why they end up with guys like Vin Baker, Allen Houston, and Latrell Sprewell, and a broken down Larry Johnson.
LeBron is treating this contract exactly the way he treated his first...when he resigned in Cleveland even though the Knicks wanted to sign him.
