wow, miss the point much?

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.

I didn't miss the point, I just stopped listening to you when you tried to say if it was only the city, Bosh would never leave the place where Vince tanked to leave, T-Mac left at the first opportunity and Zo refused to show up.

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....

every team has at some point had a player demand to get out.
there is no connection between V.Carter leaving and the city of Toronto. he signed a 6 year contract to stay there at the height of his career. demanding a trade at the end of he stay is something that ruined his reputation in the league. no wonder he didn't try that in NJ.
TMac didn't want to be there for the same reason he didn't want to be anywhere but Florida at the time. who whole point of free agency is to give the player an opportunity to play where they want to.
Who cares what Zo chose to do ? he was on the verge of retirement and didn't want to be in a rebuilding situation. He didn't even want to be in NJ.

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.

Return to Cleveland Cavaliers
