Umm yeah. We all love those guys, but we can still draft a build a team after we trade those guys. You have to make a trade like that. Oh by the way, Cleveland should be taken out of the NBA if they are dumb enough to even come up with that in their heads.

hoss you're an idiot.

you can get another Curry Frye Lee and Nate. Lebron is once every 10 to 15 years player.

but by himself he's not a playoff team...cleveland had lebron and they never made the playoffs, they add the players from last year and they are...I love lebron, but it is a team game and you bitch the most about us not thinking championship...we don't have any picks coming soon and we'd be stuck with an "exciting/gifted/talented" player, but remain in the lottery for 3 years.

are you addicted to fantasy basketball, do you know anything about being a gm...that last post convinces me that you have no idea how to run an NBA team as a GM (same as me), I thought you had some knowledge about building a championship team, but you seem to be more dolan-esque in just wanting a star an praying.

my point is that we have a great team full of talent...lebron can't do it by himself and with this trade you a) leave us with nothing left and b) we don't have any draft picks to even build around him.

And no, I'm not a GM...but like I said, if you are talking fantasy basketball then I'd make this trade in a second, but this being real life AND my beloved knicks, I just wouldn't do this trade...sorry. but as usual, it's JMHFO.

also, 49, I like your posts, I was talking to mck1, we seem to have a bond of some sort.

Lebron is in season 3. Cleveland's win total has jumped 10 games every season Lebron has been there.

wtf? it is easy to put the right mix of players around Lebron if you draft wisely and spend wisely.

thats why Ferry who cut his teeth in league standard SA was hired.

to be clear

Marbury = Dolan starphucking

Lebron = FRANCHISE PLAYER

huhuhuhuhuhuhu.....where did you pick that up from? DB?

I would trade for Lebron. It would be much easier to build around him. As a ball player, I really like David Lee on court but Lebron is much better now than he was 2 yeras ago. rvhoss: As good as Lebron is right now, he is only 21 and he is getting better at a frightening rate. He got bigger this offseason, improved his post and shooting game. He also scored 50 points in 1 game before he turned 21. Yea, he couldnt lead the team into the playoffs by himself when he was 20 but I think he can lead his team to a championship when he is 25 or 26. I think 3 years from now, Lebron will be the best player in the NBA. If we have even a 0.001% chance of getting him, we should.

lebron has a good game and all of a sudden he's the second coming....

This is a good point. I bet everyone that will trade for Lebron are doing the trade based on his potential. I agree that there is a bit of a 'hype' factor there. If we are being cautious, I would agree that Curry, Lee and Frye are a bit too much to give up for Lebron. Like you said, he is not the second coming just yet.

I mean Curry, Frye and Lee aint exactly no guarantee of anything either. I guess it boils down to whether you think those players will hellpp more than Lebron will. I think they will. You only hedge all of your bets like that on a dominant big man, those are the only kind of players who can will a team into the playoffs and/or championship.
