You know that the Yankees are thrilled to be in the World Series, but the Knicks should be equally thrilled that the Yankees made it. The World Series is distracting attention from their miserable start. Last night may have included a great fourth quarter comeback, but the fact remains that the Knicks allowed Philadelphia to shoot an astounding 61% from the field. Even the most optimistic Knicks’ fan has to realize the bitter truth- LeBron isn’t going to come to this team unless something radical changes.
The only possible thing that could change that would be for the Knicks to get enough cap room to sign not only James, but either Chris Bosh or Dwyane Wade as well. That way LeBron would come to New York with the knowledge that he has someone else to help him build a champion. Why else would he leave Cleveland, one of the better teams in the NBA? To get that cap room, Donnie Walsh is going to have to be willing to trade away anyone on the roster, including Gallinari and Wilson Chandler, if another team will also take Eddy Curry.
It’s not that the Knicks lack players who could help a team win a championship. Gallinari would be a great addition to a playoff team with his shooting. David Lee could give a big boost to a team looking for frontcourt help. The Knicks’ problem is that they do not have that one player who can elevate everyone else. They do not have LeBron or Wade or Bosh.
And that’s why Walsh has to make this gamble. He needs to go to contending teams and offer his best players, with the proviso that Eddy Curry is part of the package. If it works, the Knicks will endure another miserable season, but have a legitimate shot at landing two superstars next July. If it fails, don’t expect to see LeBron next July.

There are only 4 Knicks that are worth keeping at this point.
Gallinari, Harrington, Hughes and Mililic. The rest are shit.
Poor Donnie.
Lebron might not come to the Knicks but he'd be stupid to stay in Cleveland. Lebron is popular worldwide but still Cleveland is a tiny market. More important though is the Cavs don't have what it takes to win it all and that's what Lebron wants the most. He has no strong support from his teammates and Shaq so far has shown to be a bust. He's bound to come back down to earth after last season due to his age.
It's hard right now to see him going to a franchise as poor as the knicks but there's always the Nets too not to mention other large market teams.
Right, because Lebron's ability to make money so far has been severely hampered by the fact that he's in Cleveland.
And are we talking about the same guy here? Or the same team for that matter? The Cavs, right? They don't have what it takes? Same Cavs that were in the 07 finals? The same team that just played in the Eastern Conference finals after going 39-2 at home for the season?
As far as his age goes - he's 24. He's got a lot of basketball left in him.
he'll be a net long before a joke
The salary cap and the draft 'lottery' has kept the Knicks a crap team for too long -- just let the Knicks buy some players and they'll be fine. Works for the Yankees.

You realize that Cleveland is only good because of Lebron, right?
