    Too bad there's that whole thing about having 2 other stars to play with vs. 0.

    But you still have to factor in that the Knicks just don't have a good roster. Does Anthony really want to go back to that? I mean if Lebron is even entertaining the idea of blowing up a team that went to 4 straight finals. I understand where you're coming from. I do too believe Phil will have his imprint in the way Fisher coaches but even with how much of a terrible coach McHale is we still managed 54 wins, home court on talent alone. I know that first round exit may have left a bad taste in our mouths but with an upgrade at the front court like Anthony I believe we a easily advance.

    Either way, if he doesn't choose to come here I hope he stays in ny. Don't need the west getting stronger.

    My inside sources say no decision will be made today. I also vouch for myself.

    Look at what happened to the defense when K. Sampson left the squad. Even though he had already drew up defensive game plans that were used for all 30 teams, it shows that he still needed to physically be there on the bench to reinforce and implement on the fly.

    Same goes with the Knicks. Phil can only be on the bench so much (probably only in practice & training camp). At the end of the day its going to be up to Fisher & co. to reinforce and implement.

    Did i say kurt rambis is better than mchale? No. I said as a collective whole, i think they have a better coaching staff overall. I think everyone knows kurt isnt head coach material and the comparison individually is not what i meant. Maybe if looked at the situation objectively it would seen differently and not as a troll comment. Don't twist my words.

    Mavs never were a serious contender to begin with, maybe even Houston. I'm sure Cuban knew this.

    Glad I'm not the only one (and I have actually been here "lurking," as they would say, since the beginning of cyber). I actually thought we may never hear from him again after how the Dwight stuff went down. Only reason I don't really speak up is bc clutch lets it fly.

    On the radio here, Lebron is locked up already for the Mavs. They have the best team and best chance for him to win championships. It's comical!!

    Yes apparently and it's getting stupid now. His "sources" are sounding more and more like water cooler talk among sports writers.

    One of my favorite "disclaimers" is the whole, things are "fluid" or "ongoing." I don't think that flies with a FA. They know....and they know for a long time. So point being....not a whole lot of wiggle room to really be IN THE KNOW on a FA. You either are or you are not. Information from the team side means almost nothing right now. In fact actions speak louder than words at this stage. What have the Bulls been doing? Are there reports of trade partners or potential suitors for Nash? Has Dallas remained quiet or have they moved along? The Knicks....well they can't make any moves just because they can't make any moves lol.

    Doc Rocket and Clutch vouched for cyberx, you guys are something else. If he's an agent or close to agents it should only be logical that most of his inside info is similar to that of NBA insiders, where do you think writers get their input from, fortune tellers?
