We've been given explicit instruction to open 6.6 and we're blatantly disobeying.

Maybe... and if LeBron was coming they would.

Honestly, he'd be much better off going to Cleveland - which has potentially a much more balanced team.

Shump should be enough to off STAT to Philly.

THJR will be enough to convince any team to take Barg's expiring.


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It'll probably have to be:

STAT and 2 1st round picks to Philly

Bargs, Timmy and a minor asset to Utah

We also just need to find a second buyer..Magic, Bucks come to mind.. but also the Heat. If the Heat are put in a situation where they will lose LeBron regardless then they might play ball with us.

If the Knicks are trying to dump STAT and/or Bargs before Melo has re-signed, its already clear that the Knicks are desperate.

Apparently Kobe is recruiting Caron Butler and Steve Blake to the Lakers. Doesn't that affect their cap?

if LBJ comes here, I think we can all safely conclude that Carl = Phil Jackson.

As crazy as it is, if Lebron Commits, you give it all, everything. But why would Lebron come and play with Melo and Chris Smith.

Think about it - the only positions missing from that line up would be a big man and a point guard that can guard opposing shooting guards.



Now, think about who ELSE is on our team...

Most mid-smaller market teams wouldn't care.

I don't buy the LBJ to the Knicks angle even a little.

Not because of the money, or the hoops that have to be jumped through, or any other of the B.S. out there.

I honestly just don't believe he wants it. I don't think it's in him. He's already taken the easy path once, and I don't think a leopard changes his spots. I definitely hope I'm wrong, though.
