Would you rather have had Lebron and Maverick Carter and all the rest of those clowns in NY with an easier path to a title or do you prefer the current underdog Knicks team, led by Amare, a guy who really seems to be a class act and is genuinely enthused to be here?

I know it's been so long since we've had a title around these parts, but some of my fondest sports memories are of the Knicks of yesteryear (94 and 99) who shocked everyone but came up short of a championship. LeBron would have certainly presented a realistic shot at the crown, but I have to say, knowning what we know now, isn't it easy to pull for our current roster?

Or is it all about the rings, no matter what manner of asshat plays for our team?

Seriously, we do have team we all can root for and it will be great to win some more and watch our guys improve, even if a title's not in the cards for a few more years.

I beg the differ, marburys Clan never made him look like an idiot, he did that on his own, LBJ clan made him look like jerk and his image took a severe hit, IMO more then the kobe's rape case, cause nobody really belived her anyway.

Well we may already have 2 more All Stars to go with him in Gallo n AR. I wouldn't assume we know their ceiling yet.

As for Lebron, I wanted him and both he and Amare n Gallo would've been awesome. I hate him now only cuz he didn't come. I do like this team tho and we don't have to deal with his entourage. Tho I'll route for this team with high hopes, this isn't better than having Lebron.

Funny thing is now we know he's not a true leader type and can't take the pressure, so in that regard we may have been lucky. We'll see. I like this team and I have faith we can still be a Title contender.

PG- TD
SG- Chandler
SF Lebron
PF- Gallo
C- Amar'e

Bench: Bill Walker, Fields, JJ, Rautins, Curry

It's difficult to see who else we could have signed for the minimum, really- how good would that team have been?

I like MisterEarls summary of the three forwards domains--- Amare down low, Randolph in the mid range and Gallo on the fringe. They need a super athletic SG to stop other teams from switching the SG onto Gallo (and Gallo needs a low post game if and when they do)-- Chandler can be guarded by SFs and doesn't cause that mismatch.

Otherwise, this team is ready to roll.

What the hell i put up with you guys what's one more douchebag in my life?

if Lebron would have manned up to the challenge of playing in NY, there's no way i wouldn't have preferred that over what we have now, but i'm not upset he didn't choose us after how he revealed himself this summer... i want guys that aren't afraid to step up & take on that leadership mantle... Lebron is free to have his fun on South Beach, that's his right, but the way he handled himself w/this whole situation was disappointing.
