Knicks · LeBron played us! I don't like him & will never be a fan. BUT The man's a beast Let's give him Props. (page 3)

I don't see why we need to give him props. What, is he going to read the board to see what the UK crowd thinks of him?

Miami is cocky and they don't like it when other teams get smart with them.
They dish it but cannot take it, this was last year before they even won a ring.
According to what I read, Wade and Lebron mocked The Knicks, Boston, and Indiana right after the post game interview with Shaq/Sir Charles.
If anyone can post what they said,

I just cannot respect players like this.
I enjoyed the punch Chris Childs threw to a much bigger, younger, and arrogant/cocky Kobe Bryant, cause he deserved it.
It is one thing to be confident, especially for Wade, act like a professional that has been there before.
Tim Donaghy, has already stated that he, with other refs, fixed the series vs The Dallas Mavericks when Wade/Shaq won their first championship.
I remember Wade getting numerous and 1 calls, throughout the series when he was literally breathed on and many times never even touched.
Dallas kept hitting 3pointers and Wade would initiate contact, drive to the paint, and whether he was touched or not would get back a 3point opportunity.
That series was a much bigger joke compared to how Lebron received "STAR" treatment for this finals run.

Here's what I'll say about the decision. 1. Nobody would have hated it if he stayed in Cleveland. 2. It was new territory. There's never been a free agent better than LeBron who you'd even think would leave.

Cleveland is pissed, but they should be pissed at Gilbert for being a shitty owner.

Lebron is such a unique talent it almost makes all of the assets the Walsh gave up to have the Knicks be a player in the summer of 2010 seem worth it.

+1 keyword ALMOST

It really was a pretty good plan, we just weren't able to execute, we would have had plenty of assets, and cap room even after those 2 were signed together as MAX.

2010-11, Year 1 of if Lebron and Amare joined.
================================================

Lebron
Gallo
Wilson Chandler
Shawne Williams
Amare

TD
Jeffries
Turiaf
AR

Coach: Dantoni

Unknown/Mid Season
--------------------------
1) AR would we have gotten rid of him for a draft pick or package him with Curry
2) Do we still make a trade with Curry's expiring, to target, Melo or Deron???
or
Do we wait for the expirings of Azubuike/Curry and sign players in the summer, maybe target Melo in FA...

too many WHAT IFS, already to predict, but we could have a had a future just as bright as The Heat's or better, just saying....

2011-12, Lockout Year, Year 2 of IF Lebron and Amare
=====================================================

1)Lebron at point/forward and Amare at Center would have the matchups that Dantoni needed to cause mismatches to run his schemes.

2) Did we trade for another a "Star" or keep Gallo, Wilson Chandler, and sign FA with Tyson Chandler/Melo????

or

add enter/reenter the Cp3, Deron, and D12 sweepstakes this year?

3)Who we draft with the Iman pick *might not be able to pick Iman if we have a better seating

4)Do we still get Lin? doubt he would fall to us in waivers....

5) Do we save amnesty, or use it?

6) Does Wilson Chandler go to China? or training with Lebron/Amare/Gallo if he does, we would have him by the balls in negotiation of contract or he will be a RFA again next year...

7) Gallo is still in his rookie contract, will be a RFA next summer like Jennings/Lopez

Unfortunatley there was some speculation as to why he didn't sign in NY that I don't think was accurate but was speculated on by reporters.
The reasons LBJ didn't sign with the Knicks:
1.) He, Wade and Bosh made a pact to sign together in Miami. (I believe this is accurate)
2.) Mike D'Antoni doesn't coach defense and LBJ knows a team needs defense to win a championship. (Don't think this came up because I don't think he considered the Knicks)
3.) Walsh was in a wheel chair and looked old and feeble. (Don't think this came up. If it did I am glad he is not a Knick)
