Hope hes wrong, but he does have a ton of contacts.



#NBA BREAKING NEWS (research/sources say) It is almost CERTAIN that LEBRON JAMES WILL NOT be returning to the CAVS! (Bulls/Heat/Clips)

http://twitter.com/jalenrose/status/16855852190

When we first cleared cap room nearly 2 years ago, he predicted James (And Bosh) would both be Knicks. Now hes hearing things that hes just about gone from Cleveland but doesn't list us as one of the 3 hes thinking about.

You know whoever signs here, even if it's LeBron James, the media will trash and bash him.

A bunch of people have sent him angry messages, especially Cavs fans. hes responded by basically saying wait till the 8th, hes confident in his sources

I pray hes wrong, but all along ive kind of felt hes going to wind up a Bull. When you step back and take the homerism out of it, Chicago makes the most sense for him. The "not wanting to follow in MJ's footsteps" has always been pretty silly to me. MJ's been gone over a decade from Chicago, and if LeBron starts winning rings he is going to be compared with Jordan regardless of where he plays. Kobe is in MJ's shadow and hes thousands of miles from Chicago. Plus he grew up a Bulls fan, but more importantly they have pieces

Hey guys, let us take a look at Jalen Rose and his credibility:

I brought that up in the original post. That was immediately after we made the Crawford and Randolph deals though, nearly 2 full years ago now. Obviously a lot can change in that time and hes not predicting this just out of thin air, he brought it up today because he said he just heard this from reliable sources

Let's see what we can accomplish tomorrow night (though the draft and/or through trade). We've got to start there and hopefully we're looking to do the most we can possibly do for ourselves..Then a week later, it'll be time for free agency and the pitch Donnie & Mike have been planning for months (which includes the idea of bringing in a 2nd max star for him to play with right from day 1 -- F me but that's HUGE -- plus NYC, the Garden, Mike D'Antoni and his enjoyable system, the money he will make here through endorsements which will amount to more than if he played anywhere else once he gets the entire tri-state area fanbase on board -- I don't care what any expert has to say, other opportunities, etc..)...Still think we're out of it? I don't. This thing's only over when the fat lady signs, not before.

not really. it has no bearing on anything. if he comes or doesn't come, we're going to be better next year. nothing dies, unless maybe you as a fan.

It's just too bad that it's going to be pretty cut and dry. We're either going to get LeBron James and Chris Bosh or we're going to get Joe Johnson and David Lee. We'll either be dreaming of rings with LeBron and Bosh or dreaming of the 8th seed with Johnson and Lee.

LOL..Yup. It looks like that's basically it...Hopefully we finally catch a friggin' break and come out on top for once..We have a chance. As a Knick fan, that's all I can ask.

I expect better than an 8 seed next year regardless of LeBron. If we wind up with say Joe Johnson+Bosh, plus the expected growth from Gallo, we could be a 4/5 seed, maybe get home court in a series

True.

Not to mention cap room next offseason too. We will do well here and be relevant again regardless. But obviously LeBron is the biggest prize and makes it much easier

Lets see what happens July 1
and the June draft tomorrow night quite an exciting time for Knicks fans even though we're not in
1st round drafting yet ( two 2nd rnd picks)

Let Lebron see if his NBA influences and folks talking him to leave Cleveland not for NY but for
better situations in Chicago or Miami.

Chicago or Miami will NEVER be Lebron James teams. He can go play with Wade or D.Rose he isn't no
closer to winning a thing if other things dont break right for those teams.

Maybe thereafter LBJ will have to go through his mistakes and perhaps in 2-3 yrs either our Knicks
or them Nets has a better shot at LBJ.

I still like Bosh whom says he aint need influences of stars to make a choice on where is best for him. At least we get impression the less talented Bosh (over Lebron) can make up his own mind and
don't need all this crap advice from league people discouraging stars from coming to NY or Brooklyn.

Wade and LBJ is playing chess games with entire league and their organizations a game they will lose.

Only a minor opinion!

Jalen has no clue where he is going that is why he threw three teams out there. Besides we know who his source is it Broussard.

Given the number of relationships Jalen Rose has in the league, both with players and coaches (he also has a relationship with world wide wes, of course so do a million others) id doubt he couldn't do better than a guy like Chris Broussard, not to mention if Broussard heard that he'd report it himself anyway

I wouldn't put 100% stock in any source, because sometimes "sources" have ulterior motives for disseminating the information they do. Even if he heard this from a legit source its possible the source misled him for their own reasons. But i don't doubt Jalen Rose heard this from someone who he feels "would know"
