The only thing I see that can stop LeBron from reaching Jordan/Magic/Bird status is his mother. He needs to control that lady in a big way.

Also, get rid of the posse. It will be cheaper. That's what teammates are for.

With that said, if we win the lottery, I say the only moves we need to do is buyout Ward or package him with Knight to get mid to late 1st Rd pick that wants cap space. Portland and Dallas seem like a good dance partner. Boston also might be interested since they need a PG and they have 2 picks in the 1st round.

Then, sign Nesterovic for the MidLevel Exception.

NYK Lineup
Guards - Houston, Sprewell
Point Forward - LeBron James
PF - McDyess/Late 1st Rd Pick/2nd Rd Pick
C - Nesterovic

Yeah...the things that have been written about his mom really have not painted a good picture. It seems she is all about the $.

Egg came first...

Co-sign what ARES wrote......

I think thats a good point, but we cant all act the same. then we would have a boring world. We cant all be moderators. I don't anything she is doing is intolerable. if we can deal with Iversons mom then I don't see a problem so far with Mrs James. this is over anaylazation at this point.

everyone has pimped and cashed in on this kid, everyone except Lebron, His mom gave birth and raised by herself this multimillion dollar lottery ticket, I say it is time for her to cash in!!!

Atn this point i would Take Lebron and his mom on the team, or we can stick with lavor postell and no mom.

lol.

And look at Iversons track record. Jail, getting shot at and what have you. Didn't Iverson get a pass from jail from the governor of Virginia for a rumble in a bowling alley? Iversons salvation is the basketball court but with his posse he is a timebomb waiting to explode.

Look guys we dont need Lebron. Clearly his mom's activity with the Hummer shows that he is a Thug in training. Here With Scott laydens knicks we don't want talented Guys that can shoot pass and jump, with athletic body's. We need players that buy cards on mother day, repeat bibical passages, and pronuciate well. We have a pastor-ward, a apostle-Houston, and a couple of mormons, All we need is a Rabbi a power foward. I say we Draft that kid goodman, A.K.A Jewish Jordan.

I never said we did not need him. I was stating that in my opinion the only thing that would stop him from Jordan/Magic/Bird status is his mother. He would be a 2nd tier LEGEND status like Worthy and Dr. J with his mother pulling the strings. Too much for a young pup to worry about.

yeah, I wouldn't take his success and Phillys, over the "Moderated" sucees of a great person like Charlie ward. You right what am i thinking? No disrespect but i bet all you know is what is reported about any incident iverson is involved in.

Again, I would pick him up in a heart beat. Although, I am wishing we get the 2nd pick instead so we can pick Darko Milicic.

I still draft him. second tier is two tier betters than any thing we got.

AMEN!!

Yeah so he can be a bust with a great family life while Lebron turns into one of the best all time, Iverson's going to the Hall of fame dude. Guys like him the grow on trees if his mom wanting to get paid is the least of our worries than where do i sign. You talking like he is a blood or crip. When is the last time you saw Darko play, just curious?

OK. I am not sure if I am explaining myself correctly.

If we get the 1st pick in the draft, I pick LeBron James. No questions asked. I am just stating that he would reach MJ/Magic/Bird LEGEND status if he reigned his mother just a wee bit.

In regards with Iverson. I love his game. I haven't seen anybody with his size to take control of a game at will. But, he would be better served without his posse. Yes, he is a hall of famer.

In regards with Darko, the answer is no. I am an NBA fan and only watch NBA games (and NY Giants. Go BIG BLUE!!). I also haven't seen a complete game on James. I have seen bits and pieces of Carmelo. I am basing my judgement with the draft picks on what I read in the net. I analyze what I read and see what the best moves would be for my team.
