Isles, you finally reveal yourself as a guy who isn't a Knicks fan and just likes to push buttons. "If he joins, I'll leave the board for good." Why? Because the Knicks will finally be good and you won't be able to contradict everyone on everything. What a poser, get a life.
Secondly, trying to put a percentage of probability on something like this is impossible. Who would've thought that Shaq got dealt for .70 on the dollar like he did with Miami, that Team USA would finish with a bronze, or that ARod would be on the Yankees. These are the type of things that happen after a series of other events.
It'd be stupid for the Knicks to cut a bunch of cap and then go after LeBron, because he isn't going to want to sign onto a team that is rebuilding (which the Knicks certainly will be doing if they don't have anybody under contract). Likewise, if CLE s&t's LBJ, it'll be for, what, a bevy of draft picks, expiring contracts, and young talent? So what will that leave the Knicks? Once again, they'd be rebuilding.
I think it pretty much all depends on the next few years with Cleveland. If Hughes and he become a solid tandem, Ilgauskas keeps holding it down, they get a legit PG, etc, and the Cavs are in contention or win a title, I find it hard to believe that LeBron would want to leave. How much more money could this guy make? He's already worth hundreds of millions and not even old enough to drink. I find it hard to imagine that he'll be swayed to go to a new team and rebuild just to make a few more bucks when he already has like half a billion dollars in his bank account, it just doesn't make any sense. Not to mention Cleveland is his hometown.
