That very well might be true. I believe that Felton would not have grown as fast and neither would Fields. But at the end we would have been a contender.

This team was setup to surround him perfectly if he came here, but I can understand the pull of playing with Wade & Bosh in Miami. It's a great place to live and those are two great players to team up with. Oh Well.

They have too many alpha males. Some players in the game with LeCon and Wade don't even get a chance to touch the ball. I believe LeCon regrets his move. Sales for his merchandise are down. From one of the most loved players to the most hated has got to get in his head. I would not be suprised if Miami gave him the night off.

Lebron would've been able to handle the ball like he wants and setup his teammates here without anyone being in his way. Our support players are good enough to get the job done, unlike some of his Cleveland teams. Miami will have a very good record and be tough on bad teams all year, but in the playoffs they will have matchup issues with the big teams. One day they'll be able to address the size issue and will likely go on to be a championship team tho. Just too much talent not to be that good one day.

For all he does He does not mug, scream or carry on when he is kicking ass. Net game was a bit different but there could have been some smack talk on the court.

He is all business and supportive of the Yoots.

I was concerned about his defense but he has stepped it up. He does get out of the way if its a lost cause rather than foul. Dlee did this more but these guys are more valuable on the court and need fouls to give during crunch time.

I do worry he is doing too much, but he embraced NY and his big contract. He is being a professional accepting his role and the pressure that comes with the money. He is being a man among peers.

this really nails it... he's not just a star player, but he "gets" our situation. He knows he needs Gallo and Chandler and Fields etc to play well and he gets behind them. He cheers on the bench (at least for the 2 minute rest MDA gives him). Most of all he's beastly and plays like a true leader. I will never forget the moment I soured on Marbury. I liked Steph at first. It was one play, Marbury got beat badly off the dribble and gave up a layup. Nazr (who had just come off a 20pt 20reb game) was slow to help and Marbury scowled at Nazr like it was his fault. Then froze him out rest of game.

I love how he wasn't considered to be a leader when we signed him, so he spent the offseason reading books about leadership

cheers wrote:lbj reminds me of marbury. in that lbj is more concerned about having the nba being a vehicle to promote his brand, than winning. i read about lbj having club promotion dates coinciding with his miami heat away schedule. lol.

Lebron wants to win, but he probably sees that as a way to improve his brand.

Even if they don't land Felton, that Knicks team wins 60 with their eyes closed. Dominant low post presense and a dominant alpha ball handler along with a plethora of role players....perfect.

Lebron had every right to choose his destination but in NY he would have been THE big fish in a big pond with a well balanced supporting cast around him. I think he blew a chance at becoming one of the biggest athletes in sports history and instead chose an almost no win situation, or one that doesn't offer the same upside as the NY Knicks.

If we got Lebron that means no Felton and we would have been capped out. Our only assets would have been Chandler and Gallo. We'd still have a massive hole at PG.

Hopefully the Knicks can land one more stud next season...the modern day Bernard King from Denver wouldn't be a bad addition.

you start LeBron at PG. Or Toney Douglas with LeBron handling the offensive sets.
