As a Knicks fan since Bernard King's 32 PPG average, I'd rather have Wade than Lebron. This year was Lebron's audition for the Knicks and he failed miserably. No grit, no fire, no mental fortitude. You gotta be more than the most talented player in the world to impress a Knicks fan.
Wade is a better leader than Lebron ever will be. That is what you need to win a title, and he has already shown it. Did you see how Lebron's TEAM finished the game tonight? 7 damn seasons on the same damn team and you let your team fold like that? That is a disgrace. Imagine watching that in the Garden. How the #### you guys think this nutjob is gonna act during the 2-3 seasons it's gonna take to build a team around him that can seriously compete for a title? I guarantee you there will be some regrets.
Sign Wade+Amare and start building.
Here's the lineup that will get us to the 2nd round at least (realistic expectation the first year):
Blake (yes, Steve)
Wade
Chandler
Gallinari
Stoudamire
Re-sign House. Sign Hakim Warrick, Amundson. This could be a very potent squad inside and out. Just needs some interior rebounding and defending. Amundson could be great, also a guy like Singleton could be worth a look.
