  • Cleveland 119 Knicks 101: Hopefully, LeBron forgets about this game when he thinks about signing with the Knicks in July 2010. New York didn’t play defense and didn’t take care of the ball as the lost a game much worse than the score indicates. The Knicks may have also lost Nate Robinson who collapsed to the floor with a groin injury. LeBron was cheered by the crowd and got the fourth quarter off because the game was such a blowout.

    After the game, James said all the right things about his future and how he wouldn’t think about it until 2010. Interestingly, he referred to the Nets two different times as “Brooklyn”. Maybe he isn’t aware that the Atlantic Yards won’t be built until 2011, if at all, or maybe he is just sending a message to Nets’ ownership to hurry up and move?

  • Lakers 120 Nets 93: The Nets fell apart in the second half despite holding Kobe Bryant to 12 points. Devin Harris led New Jersey with 21.

If I was a Cavs fan I would be pretty pissed off that Lebron may be leaving. However, LeBron may be a modern day Bob McAdoo, a tremendous scorer and leader who may have to wait a billion years before he wins a title. If the Knicks or Nets land this guy, they will still need 4 other starting players...

He'll be in NY.

The biggest star in the NBA playing in the biggest market, with the biggest sneaker company behind him. Think about it.

In the mean time this team now has no shot at the playoffs - they could have done it with crawford and randolph combined with the east being so bad - but now they dont have any true scorers and no one to rebound the ball

its gonna be a long 2 years

@spiritross, I agree. Why the hell should any Knick fan bother watching this team? They have dumped salary, have mediocre talent and expect people to wait for King James to show up. What if he chooses to go elsewhere?
