We would be forced to insert him into the starting lineup if no PG finds his way here.

Toney
Lebron
Gallo
Amar'e
*%$! these n's still gotta get a CENTER

A defensive PG & C would work wonders for a team tying up loose ends.

In other news, does Rautins make the roster? There are plenty of seats. I see the Knicks have taken Lee off of season ticket commercials & probably the site (although I haven't checked there in a while)

Yall could play Eddie since he will be playing for a contract, better than paying him to sit at home.

Toney vs Rose
LBJ - LBJ
Gallo vs Deng
Amare vs Gibson (maybe Bosh)
Curry vs Noah

I know yall will say Gallo is killing Deng, but you might want to check stats. Gallo, in his first full season, scored 15 and grabbed 5 while shooting 42% from field and 39% from three. He damn near took and hit half of his threes as all fgs. Eff rating 14.64. Oh, and he hit 81% from FT line.

Last yr, Deng scored 17.5 with 7 rpg while shooting 47% from field and 39% from three (didn't hit no where close to as many as Gallo did though) Eff rating 16.6. only 76% from FT line

PF would be a tossup in the event we got BOSH, otherwise yall have better offensive player in STAT

Noah is better than Eddy.

Rose is better than TD.
  
With all that considered, in LBJ shoes, would you choose Knicks over Bulls?

 

[Master Zik]

First off that Knicks team with Bron would beat the Bulls in the playoffs just like the Cavs did.

With trades we can pull off and Curry off the books the Knicks roster just gets better. Right choice is the Knicks. I really don't think the Bulls ever had a chance, just came out of nowhere with space to sign one max and the idea of maybe trading Deng but it aint likt Bron been dropping hints after regular season games. Not to mention how ya boy Noah was %%@+$%!$ all over Ohio. Bron don't wanna play with that !+*%+.

 

[bijald0331]

I would go with the Bulls just because there is a better focus on defense plus they have a proven PG. I don't know where Knicks fans are getting these Magic dreams from. LeBron doesn't want to be a PG. Check out his quote:

"It's not something I always want to do because running the point guard is like playing quarterback," he said after Thursday's win. "I decided not to play quarterback in high school. I'd rather play wide receiver and get out in the open."

knicks and its not even close. just on the fact alone that in the garden if he wins one championship he will be a god and in ur town he will be a nobody. second rose is a young talented player and playing next to lebron someone that handles the ball like he does (lebron) will only hurt roses game. chicago has been tainted by jordan and i really dont see a marquee player going there unless he was from the area like wade. and you guys have no inside scoring presence and for a player like lebron thats his missing piece to a championship.

 

[pr0phecy718]

espn, broussard

 

in case you people are wondering about the title of this post

 

[antbanks81]

yeh I just saw it, but that equals yet another year that he won't be playing in June....annd Melo would take up Curry's cap space and more next summer so Parker would be out the equation, not that I think yall would need him with STAT, Bron and Melo.

 

[bijald0331]

HAHAHAHA at the thread title. You trying to get this to 1000 quick

 

[abeautifulhaze]

Whos the Bulls coach, who is their shooter and where is there money for future moves if they sign LeBron?

Bron wants an All Star coach, an All Star big man and a top shooter....check, check, check.

All Chicago has is Rose and he dominates the ball. If y'all can sign Bosh you got a chance but a S&T with the Raptors would have to include Noah.

Thom Thibodeau (sp?) is our coach. Champ pedigree, renowned defensive specialist. Take it for what it's worth. He has a pretty good rep around the league. That's all I really want from my coach.

You're forgetting that we aren't signing 2 big FA's in this scenario. We only need to sign LeBron.
We will have so much money left over 13-15M. Fill in the blanks how ever you like. Mike Miller, Ray Allen, etc.

I can't believe I'm entertaining all this when yall know my feelings on how this is ending up. %@@+ is fun though, I'll give you that

 

[abeautifulhaze]

What did Broussad say this time?

 

[antbanks81]

What is all this talk that Bron would be a nobody if he helped deliver a chip in CHI? That's crazy talk....he will be shown much love as we haven't won in 12 years....and like I said earlier, he won't be winning unless yall can get Melo and then we are talking about '12. Then how will he be the only one when Melo scores just as much and is from the east coast?

Yall coach hasn't even been to the Finals...can't spell defense and has no desire to learn

we will see by Thursday likely though

 

[maxelite]

Yall coach hasn't even been to the Finals...can't spell defense and has no desire to learn
 
And your coach is who?

 

[antbanks81]

um, Tom Thibadeau, associate head coach for the 2008 world champion Celtics and 2010 runner up

his teams have placed top ten 7 outta 10 years defensively

your head coach leads high scoring, exciting teams that have been sent home every May

 

[bijald0331]

Cmon Ant, LeBron could definitely win a title with either of those rosters. He doesn't need Melo in NY to win. Remember who we are talking about here. LeBron James man. He needs some help. Not two other top-5 players at their position.

 

[Spectacular23]

So here's the video the cavs made for lebron so he can stay, i can't lie its a nice lil 10 min video they put for him, but i still dont think its enough for him to stay.

http://www.worldstarhipho...p?v=wshh3RKbU1F6H6jL2429

 

[antbanks81]

Bijald, do you really see him winning with Gallo, Douglas, Curry, Stat and Bill Walker...everybody scoring in this high octane offense but no defense? They will likely try to unload Curry before the deadline.

Defense wins championships! Points matter, but in a league full of talented athletes, you gotta be able to stop the other team to win.

I know someone who is with the marketing group that designs the Knicks website and I gotta ask about that when I get the chance.  This person would probably know whether or not LeBron comes to the Knicks (and Lee's future) before any of us.

where is the diversity? oh wait its cleveland

 

[antbanks81]

the video is straight and all, but its all about community, family, blah blah blah...no talk about we will do this by doing that....help is on the way...the highlights, hell he sees those on ESPN...and sure he hears from fans all the time.

he can be a fool if he wants to, they can keep their king with the lovefest and he will retire ringless.

Mike Brown was a great associate head coach, too. Stop it.

All this back and forth is ridiculous. Bulls fans just HATE the fact that we are a legit contender for this whole thing. And I'll be the first to admit that the Bulls roster is better RIGHT now. But 3-5 years from now, we have WAY more flexibility and not to mention it looks like we have already added a top player which no other team can say.

Straight up, any team with LeBron is a conference title contender immediately. That's how good I think he is. There's him and then everyone else, Kobe, Wade, whoever included.

With a player like Amare or Rose to help when LeBron is having an off-night? I wouldn't bet against them.

 

[antbanks81]

LOL at the bold type...bold type D'antoni's # of championships - 0


The back and forth is actually fun because we are all just fans that want our teams to land the top dog

I don't hate the fact yall are contenders, prolly frontrunners, because we are new to this party, yall been appointed three years ago. Bulls just a squirrel trying to get a nut.

True, yall have added a top player, which is huge, but 3-5 years from now he will be a free agent again. I thought we were talking about next season or two. At least that's what I thought he was talking about.

 

[al3xis]

I think Douglas is perfect if LeBron is here.
ditto. Don't need a 'true' pg with LeBron. Toney fits well and I think he's being passed over. He's just gona get better.

Straight up, any team with LeBron is a conference title contender immediately.
If this were to occur with LeBron/Amare, I'd expect nothing less than being in the ECF starting next season.


And until proven otherwise...D'Antoni > Thibadeau. And there's really no proof to say otherwise. Not yet at least.

 

[duba169]

THIBBS has been around for 20 years and couldn't get a head coaching job. don't hype him up yet. he's also known to be an abrasive person


if robert horry doesn't throw steve nash into a table, our coach is in the finals

 

[harlemtothebronx]

So uhh, no other teams got a second meeting?

...

I'm starting to get excited :-/
